| Description | Cartoon shows Dame Democracy, a little old-fashioned lady used by Berryman to represent the Democratic Party, sitting in a chair holding a paper reading "Receipt in Full for 1924 Compaign Debts." She smiles broadly despite a bruised and battered face. Around her on the floor are papers indicating that France, Belgium and Italy are planning to take steps to resume payment on their debts to the United States. In June 1925, the Democratic National Committee announced that, despite its defeat in the previous elections, it had paid off its campaign debts of $280,000. At about the same time several European countries announced that they were ready to negotiate the resumption of payments of their debts to the United States, debts that had been incurred during the first World War. Berryman takes this as a favorable sign, but although debt repayment continued sporadically during the 1920s, it came to a halt with the onset of the Great Depression. |
