Description

Editorial cartoon depicting a man representing Congress in front of a blackboard showing the naval efficiency of Britain, Japan, and the United States. Britain and Japan both have 100% efficiency, but the man crosses out the 100% mark by the United States and replaces it with 70%, remarking on how this will please voters and reduce costs. Uncle Sam and Hughes watch from the window and express shock.
