What you’re looking at

This page combines editorial commentary on several international crises with satirical cartoons. The main topics are: **The British Coal Strike**: The lengthy article discusses England's ongoing labor unrest and coal miners' strike, comparing it to other post-war instability (civil war in Poland, Austria's territorial disputes). The author credits British character and restraint for surviving the strike without collapse. **Roald Amundsen's Arctic Expedition**: A brief note mocks the public's disappointment that explorer Amundsen didn't keep his engagement to visit Nome, Alaska. The joke is that while the North Pole has "no one to pay its advertising bills," the press had covered his journey extensively, then dropped it when he disappeared (he was lost at sea in 1928). **Dr. Cadman's Letter**: The page includes correspondence from a clergyman responding to debates about Prohibition enforcement, arguing for voluntary moral standards rather than legal coercion. The overall tone reflects 1920s anxieties: labor unrest, post-war instability abroad, and disagreement over Prohibition's implementation at home.
