| Description | Cartoon shows Soviet foreign minister Molotov on a ladder, raising the cross bar (labeled "Impossible Peace Conditions") so high that it will be impossible for a high jumper (labeled "Big 3") to clear it to land on Geneva on the other side. Suggests that the Russians were interposing insuperable demands at the Geneva Conference of 1954 to prevent the settlement of the Indochinese War. Actually the Russians were anxious to promote peace, and it was the United States that was blocking a settlement. |
