The members of Britain's present Government Cartoonist Low presents as sly and hardened gangsters. Thus Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, a derby pulled far down on his head, his coat collar up, a blackjack in one hand, faces the reader saying, "You know you can trust me." In the dark background the League of Nations lies slugged and dazed.

The meal Japan is making on China, the efforts of Capitalism to control industrial production (see cuts.), Roosevelt's troubles with the Constitution ("The sacred right of everything to stew in its own juice"), the Ethiopian rampage of Mussolini, the Hitler pomposities all serve Cartoonist Low as good grist for his good mill.

Lord Beaverbrook is a Canadian. His crack cartoonist is a New Zealander. who moved to Australia, finally graduated to the Mother Country. At his large draughtsman's table, where he puffs innumerable black cigars, he earns $50,000 yearly.
