# "Judging the News" - April 25, 1928 This satirical column critiques contemporary political issues: 1. **Ambassador Dwight Morrow** is praised for resolving Mexican oil disputes—a reference to U.S.-Mexico relations under the Coolidge administration. 2. **Baron Cushendun's disarmament proposal** at the Geneva Conference is mocked as naive idealism; the columnist suggests peace cannot be achieved through wishful thinking ("Leap Year isn't it?"). 3. **Congress's naval spending** is criticized as excessive—Congress wants to spend millions on battleships while the author sarcastically suggests spending "a little for schoolers" instead. 4. **Chicago voters' prayer for honest government** is noted with dry humor. The bottom illustration, "Little Boy Blue," appears unrelated to the political commentary—a nostalgic domestic scene rather than satire.
