Perhaps he can be persuaded to come through

This cartoon portrays America trying to get Great Britain to agree to the U.S. position in the Naval Disarmament talks by threating unrestricted warship construction. A smiling Uncle Sam is a lion tamer holding a large hoop in his right hand labeled "U.S. Naval Disarmament Program." Next to Uncle Sam is the British lion. Tied to the lion's tale is a stick of dynamite marked "Real Naval Competition Threat." Uncle Sam uses his left hand to light the dynamite's fuse.
