Description | Cartoon shows President Coolidge standing on a bluff (labeled "Presidential Opposition") overlooking three men in a bowl (labeled "U.S. Shipping Board) floating in the ocean. The president holds a brick behind his back. Coolidge was impatient with the slow pace of the Shipping Board in selling off ships built by the government for use in the first World War. It was reported that he would try to abolish the board, but after he changed the membership, progress in the sale of ships improved. |
