Description | Cartoon (drawn for Washington's birthday) shows two well-dressed men sitting in front of a huge painting showing Washington praying at Valley Forge. One man jeers, "Golly -- There was no dough in contracts in THEM backward days!" The caption refers to various political scandals during the Truman administration. Comparing the corruption of the present day with the situation 200 years earlier, the cartoonist apparently ignored the pervasive profiteering among contractors who supplied the Continental Army during the American Revolution. |
