| Description | Cartoon shows a "High Tariffs" wall between the United States and Europe blocking the admission of a huge pile of "European Goods" into the U.S. Meanwhile, a hole allows the admission of U.S. "Foreign Aid" dollars into Europe. A European worker sitting on top of the pile gives a Gallic shrug, while Joe Stalin in the background smiles. Reflects the paradoxical situation in which the United States was willing to provide money to Europe in the form of direct aid but, by raising its tariffs, made it difficult for European trade to revive. The cartoon suggests that this situation promoted Soviet Cold War aims. |
