Note
Cartoon shows Uncle Sam reclining in his chair, hands in his lapels, smiling smugly. On the table before him are scattered papers reading "Uncle Sam Is the Only One Who Can Save the Genoa Conference, Delegates Deplore Absence of Uncle Sam, The Conference Still Hopes Uncle Sam Will Be There Before Adjournment," and other similar sentiments. The cartoonist's signature small bear nudges Uncle Sam, saying "Uncle, listen to this from Lloyd George!" In April 1922, British Prime Minister Lloyd George persuaded the European governments to meet in Genoa to try to solve the economic problems of Europe including the issue of German reparations and the default on the debts of the Czar of Russia. The United States, which, after refusing to join the League of Nations, had become increasingly reluctant to become involved in European problems, declined to send a representative. The Conference failed, due not to the lack of American presence, but because of the growing hostilities and suspicions among the major European participants.
