Title: Young fellow, don't take any bad money
Creator(s): Berryman, Clifford Kennedy, 1869-1949, artist
Date Created/Published: 1917 [Aug. 30]
Summary: World War I cartoon shows the German Kaiser offering a piece of paper labeled 'German Promise' to a little man in a sombrero labeled 'Argentina.' Uncle Sam, who is watching, says 'Young fellow, don't take any bad money.' Behind him, the cartoonist's small signature bear rummages through a satchel labeled 'Germany's Broken Promises.' One of the results of Germany's decision to resume unrestricted submarine warfare on ships destined for the Allied countries was the sinking of neutral shipping. In August 1917, Germany, anxious to persuade Argentina to continue its policy of neutrality, promised to indemnify Argentina for shipping losses and to observe the international rules of sea warfare. The American government saw these promises as worthless.
