# "Judging the News" - October 1932 This editorial page satirizes contemporary issues through short commentary and a cartoon titled "Want a little bet on the game?" The cartoon depicts what appears to be three men in suits positioned around a prone figure, seemingly engaged in or proposing gambling. Given the October 1932 date (Great Depression era), this likely critiques corruption or improper dealings among businessmen or politicians. The text above addresses Prohibition enforcement (gangster murders, police mysteries), business revival (people worrying about debts), agricultural surplus problems, and resource management issues of the early 1930s. The cartoon's title suggests ironic commentary on risky financial or political "games" being played during economically unstable times, possibly mocking those profiting from others' misfortune during the Depression.
