| Description | Cartoon shows Senators Hiram Johnson and Medill McCormick trying to stop Uncle Sam by digging in their heels and hanging on to his coattails. Uncle Sam ignores them as he strides along, holding an umbrella and a sign reading "Participation in Reparations Inquiry." The cartoonist's signature small bear struggles to keep up. Johnson and McCormick were among the leaders of the Irreconcilables who fought to keep the United States out of the League of Nations. During the 1920s they continued to oppose any participation of the United States in European affairs, but they failed to prevent the appointment of an American, Charles Gates Dawes, to head one of the commissions set up to resolve the problem of German reparations. |
