| Description | Cartoon shows Senators Tom Connally and Arthur Vandenberg, Secretary of State Edward Stettinius, and former Minnesota Governor Harold Stassen as chefs nervously icing a cake labeled "United Nations Charter." The cake is topped with an apprehensive dove. Connally says, "Better hurry . . . He's about here," while Stettinius responds, "Don't talk like that! Can't you see we're nervous already?" The U.S. delegation played a leading role in developing the United Nations Charter. International political complications made the process take longer than anticipated, thereby delaying for several days, President Harry Truman's arrival to sign the charter. |
