Poor economy

A man (our pacifists) hammers a cork (curtailment of our Navy to save money) into the barrel of a naval gun (naval protection). In the background, Uncle Sam stands on a pile of money (American prosperity) while Representative Frederick A. Britten holds a sign that reads, "we need an adequate navy to protect our wealth."
