A bad time to try to pet him

Calvin Coolidge holds a rolled document (naval disarmament to convince rest of world of our friendly intentions) while standing in front of a bull (rest of world) stabbed with bullfigthing barbed darts (irritation at U.S. tariff laws, war debt barb, ill feeling over U.S. wealth, and irritation over U.S. immigration). Uncle Sam can be seen in the background shouting a warning.
