| Description | Cartoon shows a group of old geezers sitting outside the Squash Center Department Store discussing the London Naval Treaty. Comments include: "Wonder if Hi Johnson likes Washington climate as well as Californy"; "Well, limitin' the Navy aint goin' to affect Squirrel Crick none"; "What's the difference between a treaty an' a pact?" "You can bust a treaty but a pact wears itself out"; "Betcha Teddy'd have kep'em in, too"; "What gets me is why folks is so het up over what France and Italy aint do'in;" "Psaw, bet Mussolini's doin some'pn more'n nothin'"; and "John Bull aint so happy over the treaty, so it must be purty good for us." The treaty, which limited the construction of cruisers, submarines, and destroyers, was signed by Great Britain, Japan, and the United States, but France and Italy abstained. Although isolationists such as Senator Hiram Johnson opposed it, the treaty was quickly ratified by the Senate. |
