The spirit of the conference

John Bull and Uncle Sam sit at a table (Geneva Naval Disarmament Conference) where Uncle Sam reads a document. Behind John Bull stands a pirate figure holding a sword and the Union Jack flag (Spirit of Conquest), and behind Uncle Sam stands an angel holding an olive branch (Sprirt of Peace). Several documents can be seen scattered on the floor.
