# Analysis of "Judging the News" Page This page contains brief satirical editorial comments on current events alongside a political cartoon showing shipwrecked sailors. **The Editorial Quips:** - Criticizes Congress for wanting to "have a finger in everything except the dial telephones" - Mocks the Treasury always reporting surpluses despite congressional spending - References heavy-weight supporters of Gandhi's non-violence movement **The Cartoon:** Depicts sailors amid wreckage with the caption "I'm gonna beat it! I know when I'm licked!" This appears to be commentary on a maritime disaster or naval defeat, though the specific historical reference is unclear. The sailors' resignation suggests commentary on accepting failure or knowing when to retreat. The page reflects Judge magazine's characteristic approach: punchy political satire on congressional inefficiency and contemporary social movements, paired with illustrative cartoons addressing news events.
