Chicago Tribune Cartoon From 1934

This has been going around in email in-boxes for a while, but we thought we’d share it anyway.

Here is an editorial cartoon 75 years old! Seem familiar? Most all of us know what happened and how long it took to get things straightened out. Most of those in DC weren’t even born yet!

Look at this cartoon from 1934 and look especially carefully at the plan of action. Remember the adage, “Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it” Looks like we could be in for difficult times. Frightening. Could have been drawn yesterday. What has changed?

Editor’s Note: In the interest of full disclosure, the original copy of this cartoon was
very dark and hard to read; therefore,  it was brightened up and a few smudges were
removed, but otherwise this is the identical image.
