The cartoon depicts two figures sitting despondently on a cracked foundation stone that represents the League of Nations. The cracked stone symbolizes that the League is broken and useless in establishing the new world order of peace it intended. In the background, the looming war on Remembrance Day suggests another war is coming. The cartoon uses the cracked foundation stone as a metaphor to criticize the League of Nations for failing to prevent war and maintain peace as it was designed to do.
