Editorial cartoon in three panels. In the first panel, a man is seen speaking to a large crowd about the need for the Axis Nations to be quarantined. In the middle panel, a crowd of New York citizens stand on the banks of the Hudson river with war drums and banners, yelling at the Midwest to get into the war spirit. In the third panel, Uncle Sam is standing on the other bank, yelling back at them to stop the "slurs" against the Midwest and gesturing toward a huge stone plaque showing the numbers of voluntary enlistments and war bonds bought for the Northeast versus the Midwest. The Midwest numbers are larger in every category.
