Explanation:
Cartoon shows Soviet leader Joseph Stalin gazing with clenched fists at the word "Preparedness," written in the sky by an airplane labeled "U.S. Industries." Probably refers to the Soviet reaction as the United States took positive steps in the late 1940s and 1950s to build a military and economic counterforce to the perceived Communist threat.
Cartoon shows a puzzled Soviet leader Joseph Stalin dressed as Santa Claus with a long white beard, carrying a pistol and a rifle, as well as a knife stuck in the top of his boot. Suggests the skepticism of the West at the protestations of peace coming from the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
Cartoon shows Soviet leader Stalin calling out in outrage to Yugoslav leader Marshal Tito (shown as a small boy in a sailor suit), who is looking over a high fence at distant fireworks spelling out: "Independence Day July 4th." Reflects the news of the Soviet-Yugoslav crisis that erupted when the Soviet Union accused the Yugoslavs of failure to follow the party line. Expresses the hope that this may cause Yugoslavia to begin to show more interest the West.
Cartoon shows a line of wooden cutouts representing Poland, Yugoslavia, Rumania, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, and Hungary. Soviet leader Stalin, seated behind them with a speaking tube, makes them appear to say, "No co-operation for us." Suggests that it was Russian pressure that made the Eastern European nations decline in July 1947 to participate in the Marshall Plan.
Cartoon shows the hand of Soviet leader Stalin pressing a stop button labeled "Korea." Next to this button are other stop buttons labeled "Indochina," "Iran," "Yugoslavia," and "Germany." In 1952 and 1953, the Soviet Union had apparently used its influence to persuade Communist China and North Korea to agree to an armistice to end the Korean War. Taking the view that the Soviet Union was responsible for many of the Cold War tensions, the cartoonist suggests that Stalin could take steps to end the conflicts in other areas of the world if he wished.
