What you’re looking at

This satirical page by Clive Weed depicts three scenes related to American military and government activities: **Top left:** Secretary Wilbur and a Rear-Admiral in diving suits, apparently reviewing naval matters. **Top right:** Secretary of State Kellogg inspecting a new bombing plane, with a small figure standing beneath the aircraft—likely satirizing government oversight of military aviation development. **Bottom:** "Big Bill Thompson" driving a truck loaded with condemned history books, suggesting censorship or revisionism of historical records. The page's theme appears to be critiquing government officials' involvement in military expansion and historical control during the inter-war period. The satire suggests these leaders are prioritizing military modernization and narrative control over democratic principles, fitting Judge magazine's tradition of political commentary.
