# "Judging the News" - December 27, 1930 This page contains three brief satirical commentaries on current events: 1. **Borrowing for war**: Critiques using borrowed money to fund warfare without repayment mechanisms. 2. **Domestic argument**: Mocks a New York police officer refusing to engage in a marital dispute with his wife—suggesting police involvement in domestic matters is absurd. 3. **Radio censorship** (main cartoon): The illustration depicts a preacher at a pulpit in a church with stained-glass windows, addressing crowds below. The caption "Past—you can't say 'Hell' over the radio!" satirizes broadcast regulations that prohibited profanity, including religious language. The joke critiques the absurdity of censoring even theological language in public discourse. This reflects 1930s concerns about government and institutional censorship of speech.
