| Description | Cartoon shows a circus with President Roosevelt as the ringmaster balancing on his hand a totem pole made up of the following items: a man (labeled "High Salaries") standing on his head with coins cascading from his pockets, on top of three disks labeled "NRA, CCC, AAA," on top of a large coin labeled "Managed Currency," on top of a bear labeled "Russian Communication." In another ring, a disgruntled farmer labeled "Milo Reno" complains, "There ought to be a code against hoggin' all the spotlight." In his hand he holds a paper reading "Farm Strike Program" while in the background farmers demonstrate holding a sign reading "We defy Uncle Sam." Milo Reno was head of the Farmers' Holiday Association which organized two farmers' strikes in 1933, hoping to drive up farm prices by reduced production. The strikes failed in part because farmers were willing to wait and see if the President's New Deal program would produce agricultural prosperity. |
