| Description | Cartoon shows a battered and frustrated dove of peace in a silk hat trying to thumb a ride. In the background can be seen explosions and smoke (labeled "the Orient") of a battle raging around a building with a Chinese roof. The caption is slang for another use of the thumb: thumbing the nose. Probably refers to the failure of diplomatic efforts at the international meeting convened in Brussels in November 1937 to end the Sino-Japanese War, due in part to the refusal of the Japanese to participate. |
