HERBLOCK, Newspaper Enterprise Association
Uncle Sam authoritatively turns "plans" for war production into "planes" in this patriotic Herblock cartoon that encouraged Americans to increase military supplies for Europe. During the summer of 1941, manufacturing demands for both British and American markets outstripped supplies. Employees facing longer hours and harder work went on strike for higher wages. Herblock encouraged their production efforts in support of the war, suggesting to his readers that it was their patriotic duty. |
