President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill crying over the Fall of Singapore in 1942, "If we had only listened to Japan during last fall's negotiations, we wouldn't be in such grief"

Notes: The sign on the right says "New version of Sankatsu and Hanshichi at the Bar". This refers to an old 1773 Kabuki theater production (艶容女舞衣) which is a tale of forbidden love between Sankatsu, a theater actress, and Hanshichi, a son of a bar owner who already has a wife named Osono. Long story short, they have a child out of wedlock, the families of Hanshichi and Osono oppose their relationship, and they eventually commit suicide together. The artist is implying that the relationship between Roosevelt and Churchill is like that between Sankatsu and Hanshichi, and that they will go down to their doom just like that forbidden couple.  

This book excerpt explains parts of this play in English in more detail: https://books.google.co.jp/books?id=68RITdcFpHYC&pg=PA253&lpg=PA253&dq=Love+of+Hanshichi+and+Sankatsu&source=bl&ots=vXGDo8DwPS&sig=ACfU3U13cXTn4oQE9lvBKz5096kI3HiYBw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiUkbDblJ_1AhVQZ80KHYJ6B3QQ6AF6BAgOEAM#v=onepage&q=Love%20of%20Hanshichi%20and%20Sankatsu&f=false

There are also some play on words. "Roosevelt" sounds a lot like "loose belt", so he is named 弛(loose)褌(belt), and he is depicted in the cartoon as loosening his belt. The "chill" in "Churchill" sounds a lot like the Japanese word "chiru" (disperse, scattered), and "Chur" sounds a lot like the Japanese word "cha" (tea), so he is named 茶盆(tea cups)散(strewn), to reflect the supposed downfall of Britain.

The article mentions a US representative from Arizona named Handerson who was allegedly an anti-war activist, but I could not find anyone by that name in the historical lists of Arizona representatives in the Arizona House of Representatives or the US House of Representatives.

"I don't know what to make of it" Roosevelt is cursed

The Fall of Singapore covered up in UK and US

Special telegram from Lisbon [sent on February 19]

According to the information from the US that reached us, the news of the Fall of Singapore provoked the US Congress and UK Parliament to the utmost, especially the US Congressmen who, in a state of excitement, crowded President Roosevelt to complain about the poorness of the British-American joint operation. Representative Handerson from Arizona, a leading figure in the anti-war movement, consulted with his colleagues in the House of Representatives saying, "I don't know what to make of it". He complained by bringing up arguments pinning responsibility on Roosevelt, saying "The breakdown of negotiations between the US and Japan last fall brought us misfortune. The President and the British Prime Minister are jointly responsible for this". He asserted that his anti-war arguments were correct.

As a result, in the US states, anti-war groups have unexpectedly linked up with anti-production groups created in reaction to overproduction, and voices cursing President Roosevelt are spreading like wildfire. On the other hand, in the United Kingdom, which was choked with surprise at the Fall of Singapore as its colonial master, the announcement was made only to a part of the parliament, and the general public was not informed by order of the prime minister.

”それ見たことか”呪われる弛褌氏

シンガポールの陥落・英米国ではひた隠し

リスボン特電【十九日発】

当地に達したアメリカからの情報によれば、シンガポール陥落のニュースは米英の議会を極度に刺激し、殊に米議員は興奮状態のままでル大統領に詰め寄り、米英聯合作戦の拙劣ぶりを難詰し、さらに反戦運動の急先鋒アリゾナ州出身のハンダーソン議員は「それ見たことか」と同志の下院議員と諮り、「昨秋の日米交渉の決裂がわれわれを不幸に陥れたのだ。それは大統領と英首相の共同責任である」とル大統領の責任論を愚痴交りでむし返し、反戦論の正しかったことを主張している。

これがため米の各州ではオーバープロダクションによる罷業団体と反戦団体が期せずして結びつき、ル大統領を呪う声は燎原の火如く拡がっている。一方シンガポール陥落で窒息せんばかりに驚いた本家本元の英国では議会の一部に発表しただけで、一般国民には首相の命令で知らされていない。
