| Description | Cartoon shows a shabby young woman, accompanied by a young girl, holding a sign reading: "Emergency Unemployment Relief Appeal." A shadowy figure (labeled "Politics") holding a soap box hastens by in the background. In November 1932, at the height of the Depression, the New York Emergency Unemployment Relief Committee launched a drive to raise $15 million to avoid a breakdown of relief programs in New York City. The cartoonist warns that politics should not be allowed to interfere with this effort. |
