John Roach and George M. Robeson, dressed as 16th century soldiers, are performing a song and dance routine on a stage. Roach is holding a paper that states “Contract for new U.S. Cruisers $2,440,000 and ‘Extras!’ Awarded to John Roach.” Caption: When of corruption the public is weary, And the papers have found us out, / Our future then looks dark and dreary, And our profits are involved in doubt / That is the time for disappearing; Just take a header, down you go / But appropriations new are nearing–Bob up serenely from below! –“Olivette” amended.
