EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a satirical English cartoon from 1958, highlighting the persistent opposition of U. S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles towards Communist China's membership in the United Nations. The image depicts Dulles seated in his office, wearing glasses and reading an eye chart with Chinese characters. With a lamp illuminating the scene, he appears to be struggling to decipher the text. On the right side of the cartoon stands U. N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold, observing Dulles' futile attempts. The caricature portrays Dulles as a patient seeking medical attention for his inability to comprehend or accept China's inclusion in international affairs. This political commentary reflects the tense atmosphere of the Cold War era and America's anti-communist stance during that time. It humorously suggests that despite being an American politician and diplomat, Dulles was unable to understand or acknowledge China's growing influence on global politics. The cartoon is not only a reflection of historical events but also serves as a reminder of how political ideologies can shape perceptions and hinder cooperation between nations. It offers insight into public sentiment surrounding these issues during this period while providing a humorous take on diplomatic relations at play within the United Nations.
