# "Judging the News" - August 27, 1931 This page presents satirical commentary on current events. The main cartoon shows a woman lecturer addressing an audience of well-dressed attendees, with the caption: "So you see, ladies, Russia is finally coming around to our way of thinking." The joke appears to satirize Western assumptions about Soviet policy shifts. During the early 1930s, the USSR was undergoing significant ideological and economic changes. The cartoon mocks the notion that Russia was adopting Western capitalist or democratic values—suggesting naive Western wishful thinking about Soviet intentions. The brief text snippets above the cartoon offer lighter satirical items: comments on Democratic politics, the Oklahoma bridge controversy, and the Cincinnati Reds baseball team—typical Judge magazine fare mixing political and social humor.
