The Genoa Game,David Lloyd George,Cartoon,Genoa Conference,1922,Germany
Title: The Genoa Game
Creator(s): Berryman, Clifford Kennedy, 1869-1949, artist
Date Created/Published: 1922.
Summary: Cartoon shows a baseball game featuring the countries of Europe, with Germany as the catcher, France as the batter, Russia as the pitcher, and British Prime Minister Lloyd George as the umpire. The catcher and pitcher are arguing forcefully while the umpire shouts, 'Play ball!' Uncle Sam and the cartoonist's small signature bear, holding a score card, watch from outside the fence. In April 1922, Britain persuaded the countries of Europe to meet in Genoa to try to solve the economic and security problems of Europe. The United States, which after its refusal to join the League of Nations had become increasingly reluctant to be involved in European problems, declined to attend. The conference failed due to the mutual suspicions of the attendees.
