| Description | Cartoon shows the Democratic donkey and the GOP elephant looking worried. The donkey holds a paper reading "Lord Robert Cecil Arrives to Create New Enthusiasm for League of Nations." The elephant's paper reads "Harding-Hughes International Court Membership Causing Much Comment." After Republican senators prevented the United States from joining the League of Nations in 1919, sentiment in the country turned strongly isolationist. Thus the visit of prominent League supporter Lord Robert Cecil in 1923 caused some embarrassment to the Democratic Party while the efforts of President Harding and Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes to support U.S. membership in the Permanent Court of International Justice was firmly squelched by the Republicans. |
