 1935 cartoon, "All that's left of a once noble band." Senator Hiram Johnson converses with Foreign Relations Committee Chairman, Senator William Borah who is seated at a table with a candle and an ax in front of him. On the wall behind them hang three signs that read, "No International Friendship for Us," "Remember Henry Cabot Lodge," and "Get the World Court Dead or Alive! W.R. Hearst." Senators Borah and Johnson were among the original isolationists along with Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and William Randolph Hearst. They were instrumental in blocking U.S. entrance into the League of Nations after World War I and led Senate opposition to United States membership in the World Court, an offspring of the League. The World Court, although traditionally supported by U.S. Presidents, was never sanctioned by the Senate. On January 16, 1935, President Roosevelt urged the Senate to accept the World Court. Kirby's cartoon appeared the next day along with an editorial, urging the Senate to comply with the President's request. Rollin Kirby, 1875-1952, artist. Published in New York World-Telegram, January 17, 1935, illustration and caption from cph 3b30617, Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division, Washington, DC.
