# "Judging the News" - December 1932 This page from **Judge magazine** (dated December 1932) contains satirical commentary on contemporary events during the Great Depression and early New Deal period. The **top cartoon** shows five figures juggling globes—likely representing editors or political commentators attempting to manage multiple international crises simultaneously. The **main cartoon** below depicts a domestic scene where a woman says to a man, "Now, Dad, don't make a scene...I see just want to primp a little." This appears to satirize **Roosevelt's cabinet selections**, referenced in the text: the satire suggests family members (possibly representing Democratic factions) disagreeing over appointments, with implied tension between those wanting immediate action versus those preferring delay. The brief text items mock various 1932 issues: Manchuria troubles, urban conditions, vegetables, and Roosevelt's political balancing act.

Which should make another excellent name to call some of our Western congressmen, 0 doubt Roosevelt’s cabinet will be made up of the more prom- inent Democrats he wants to reward and a few he wants to get even with. 2, Volume 103.0 iss 6.
