Santa Claus, with coat over left arm and holding a fan, perspiring, offers a bundle of “Education” books labeled “Uncle Sam to the Filipino” to a young Filipino boy, who, with hands behind his back, dubiously looks up at him. Santa’s bag of toys is on the ground between them. Caption: Santa Claus — Phew! I’m glad to oblige Uncle Sam, of course. But next time I come I’ll wear khaki!
