The poster\u2019s creation suggests that war opponents may have attempted to undermine public support for the war by claiming that the government was responsible for stealing the food of domestic citizens. The poster forcefully rejects the validity of such claims as the treasonous work of \u201cthe enemy,\u201d and reminds viewers that hoarding of goods is prohibited. By placing the blame for these rumors on an unspecified \u201cENEMY,\u201d this document allows individuals to label anyone critical of food conversation and the war as un-American. While the poster aims to set the record straight, the visual elements of the poster are not especially engaging, and would likely have struggled to compete with other posters for the attention of passing citizens.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Copyright and Terms<\/td>\n<td>Images are in the public domain or protected under U.S. copyright law (Title 17, U.S. Code), and both types may be used for research and private study.
