Cartoon shows several sombreros. Two, Cuba and Panama, have exploded like volcanos, erupting into an "Anti-U.S. campaign." Two more sombreros, Brazil and Venezuela, are about to explode. Cuba experienced a Communist revolution and expropriation of United States sugar interests in 1959. On November 3, Panama's Independence Day, demonstrators tried to move into the Canal Zone, occupied by the United States, to assert Panama's sovereignty there. Mauldin indicates that anti-United States sentiment was growing in Brazil and Venezuala.
