# Judge Magazine - March 9, 1940 This page contains several short satirical commentary pieces typical of Judge's format, plus a cartoon illustration showing figures in formal dress (appearing to be a social or political scene). The main cartoon's exact meaning is unclear without clearer identification of the figures, though the formal setting suggests commentary on high society or political events. The text pieces mock various topics: women's fashion reform, stubborn ignorance (possibly regarding war preparedness), civil service reform, the situation with Cuba, political conventions, and a theory about race and slavery attributed to a "Mr. Hassarll" of Pennsylvania—apparently criticizing a racist argument. The bottom panel labeled "HIS BUSINESS" shows what appears to be a social/financial satire about Wall Street dealings. The overall tone reflects typical 1940 American political commentary and social criticism.
