The political cartoon is about Panama getting out of Cuba's control. Panama is going to Roosevelt, the US, because the US help Panama be free from Cuba. People now would think that the canal was no big deal because now we have air plains, but then it would take days to get from the Pacific ocean to the Atlantic ocean, but with the canal it would only take a couple of hours. This cartoonist uses labeling and symbolism. The labeling is telling you what is what to help you understand the cartoon, and the symbolism by having Columbia hold panama like a chick in an egg.
