This political cartoon is about Roosevelt digging the panama canal. The cartoonist's message is after Roosevelt helped panama get out of Columbia's rule, panama had to repay America by building the panama canal. people would ask why they would want a canal in panama, and the reason behind that is so it would not take so long to get from the pacific ocean to the Atlantic ocean. The cartoonist used exaggeration by making Roosevelt big and labeling with the treaty the signed which is the little yellow flag.
