The Test of Our Loyalty is the Measure of Our Sacrifice
| Poster featuring a cartoon illustration titled: "Where Do You Stand," with a large red question mark over the image. To the left of the question mark, a soldier is kneeling near a trench during battle, with the accompanying words: "This man is a patriot--he will work 24 hours a day for his country." A cartoon blackbird comments: "And we need our industrial army to keep these boys in the field." To the right of the question mark, a man labeled "Agitator" is seated at a desk, smoking a cigar. In front of him are a pile of papers titled "Disloyal Propaganda, Agitation to Cripple U.S. Industries and Shipping, Strife, Plots Against the U.S., and Agitation." He is accompanied by the words "Is this man a patriot--he works 24 hours a day for his pocketbook." Poster text reads: "THE TEST OF OUR LOYALTY IS THE MEASURE OF OUR SACRIFICE A full day's work in the munitions shop, mine, mill or shipyard is equivalent to taking a German trench. The blue overalls of the mechanic covers the same sort of Americanism as is clothed in the khaki in the trenches and in the working clothes of the captains of industry." |
