Uncle Sam holds down the lid of a “Colombia” barrel as he speaks to “Panama,” who holds a “Panama Canal” bag and wears an “independent dress.” The sun has President Roosevelt’s face in it. Caption: Pickaninny Panama: “Don’t yo’ reckernise me in mah new clo’es, Uncle Sam?” Uncle Sam: “Recognise you, Child? Well, reck’n I’d know that bag anywhere. (Persuasively) Hadn’t I, ahem? better—er—carry it for you, Honey?”
