This Italian political cartoon shows a tired, poor-looking man shining the shoes of a disgruntled, well-dressed Uncle Sam, whose hand rests on a globe to show his dominance over the world. Behind the shoe-shining man stands his wife and son, who both look pained. Text underneath the drawing reads, "Free America promises money and work to Italians; but if 12 million of it unemployed workers live on welfare, what work can it spare for conquered peoples if not servitude and dishonor?"
