| Description | Cartoon shows a man (labeled "Western Powers") walking along smiling with his head in a cloud (labeled "Russian 'Peace Gestures'"). In his path is a banana peel labeled "Defense Let-Up." In the early 1950s, as the Russians made various proposals to reduce Cold War hostilities, the NATO nations reduced their rate of rearmament. The cartoon suggests that it would be dangerous to take these proposals too seriously. |
