The issue of this political cartoon is again the Roosevelt Corollary. The message of the cartoon is the response to any European country that bothers one of America's territories. Another message may be the way American territories feel about the bill. One more message maybe the way Europe feels about the law. Opinions may be that the bill is dangerous to our trade by making Europe trade with a potential dangerous ally. Others could be that we would just slaughter the invading troops. Techniques used by the artist are symbolism and labeling. Symbolism is used by showing how Europe will be treated and labeling to show the countries. This cartoon shows how ,to me, countries will be protective of their countries. Helpful for the smaller countries to know, not good for other countries.
