In the top panel a man representing the Monroe doctrine stands at a train station while the station master, labeled "Constructive Criticism" flags fown the approaching League of Nations Covenant train. The second panel shows two American soldiers on the Archangel Front stating "Say, when did we declare war on Russia?". The final panel shows several masked and armed men protesting the vigilance committee.
John T. McCutcheon's "Cartoons of the Day," commenting upon the creation of the League of Nations, the precursor to the United Nations and the brainchild of President Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921). Ironically, the League of Nations was not adopted by Congress. In the second and third panels, soldiers begin to asking questions and vigilance committees spring up to "protect" portions of the country, such as the southwest, where the government's presence was minimal.
Captions: "Under one: The Monroe Doctrine Rides after all. Under two: Beginning to ask questions. Under three: The Municipal Voters League is not the only organization of that kind that has been denounced."
