Abstract

A cartoon in reference to the Soviet Union's offer of monetary assistance to Egypt to build the Aswan Dam. Nikita Khrushchev appears in a television ad holding a sign "Soviet $1,120,000,000 offer to finance huge Aswan Dam." Uncle Sam sits on the couch with "Little Egypt" holding a gift labelled "U.S.-British Offer of Financial Assistance."

Alt Text

A cartoon depicting Uncle Sam sitting on a couch next to a person labeled, "Little Egypt," holding a gift box with a tag labeling it "U.S.-British offer of financial assistance." On a television set on the left, a bald man says, "And now a word from your sponsor," while holding a sign that reads, "Soviet $1,120,000,000 offer to finance huge Aswan dam." Little Egypt is enraptured by the TV but pays no attention to Uncle Sam.
