| Description | Cartoon shows the new Soviet leader, Malenkov, splitting his pants (labeled "Lovers of Peace") as he bends over to pat a dove of peace (labeled "World Peace Hopes"). The split is labeled "Red Invasion of Laos." A smoking gun protrudes from under Malenkov's shirt. Suggesting that the Soviet Union is involved in the Vietnamese Communist invasion of Laos in April 1953, comments on the irony that this is taking place at the same time that the Soviet leader has begun a series of calls for peace. |
