Labeled "He would Rather Explain than answer" in cursive by McCutcheon on the lower margin this handsome single panel piece depicts an angry-looking Uncle Sam in profile in the foreground poking the shorter man in front of him identified as "Cox" and demanding "Are you for Article X -- answer me Yes or No" The shorter fellow sweating responds "Let me explain." Uncle Sam points with his other hand at two large placards posted on a wall. The placard at left reads: "Elihu Root on Article X. Article X is an alliance to enforce perpetually through the operations of the League the decisions of Mr. Wilson and his associates in the year 1919. Article X is a throwback to the old discredited alliances of the past. Article X speaks a language of power and not the spirit of progress. Article X is an attempt to do what the Holy Alliance sought 100 years ago with just as noble expressions of purpose to impose by force the judgment of the rulers of the present generation upon all future generations." The placard at right reads: "Pres. Wilson on Article X. Article X is the heart of the covenant." Former senator and secretary of state Root at this time president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace was well known as a strong supporter of the League of Nations -- BUT with strong reservations mainly about Article X which he thought highly impractical.

Upper left panel: dapper gent in old-time golf duds gold buddies behind him replies "No not so long as the British fleet has the Rodney and the Nelson." Upper right panel: Fellow in small boat on the Chicago River answers "Not so long as Britain has a great preponderance of fast merchant ships capable of being quickly converted into 6 inch auxiliary cruisers and commerce destroyers." Middle left panel: Stodgy executive-type seated behind impressive desk and bookcases offers: "No but we may in 1938 -- if the U.S. builds up to the limit allowed by the treaty -- and if Britain waits till we catch up." Middle right panel: Pudgy wader in old-time swimsuit on crowded Chicago beach front observes "We get parity in submarines destroyers and aircraft carriers -- and possibly in 8 inch cruisers six years from now -- inferiority in capital ships and 6 inch cruisers." Lower left panel: Driver stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic some things in Chicago never change opines "Possibly in American waters eventually but not on our distant trade routes." Lower right panel: Pedestrian clinging to Chicago River street bridge as it rises up shouts to reporter clinging to other side "Not so long as we are hopelessly inferior in naval bases." Unlike contemporary editorial cartoons which would never get away with so much text earlier editorial cartoons such as this prime example often took more than a few seconds to grasp and assumed a firm understanding of detailed political topics of the day.
