Summary

This untitled illustration by cartoonist Clifford Berryman, which appeared in the Washington Evening Star on February 8, 1915, shows the difficulty that President Woodrow Wilson had in getting the Ship Purchase Bill through Congress. Here, Wilson is saying that General George Washington's crossing of the Delaware was a pleasure trip compared to getting the Ship Purchase Bill through, since concern was that it would lead to the United States entry into the war in Europe.
