The Janet A. Ginsburg Chicago Tribune Collection

Why not tell Europe the secret of our success?

In this cartoon by Carey Orr, Uncle Sam whispers across a fence to Europe. On the U.S. side of the fence, Andrew Mellon carries fruit (money) away from a tree, "U.S. government finances." Clippers labeled "tax cuts," are visible on the ground. On Europe's side of the fence, a bare tree is labeled, "Europe's fruitless financial efforts."
