A cartoon of several Japanese men drawn in a pejorative style seated around a table having a heated discussion, with a sign that says, "Jap Surrender Delay" in front of them. In the foreground, Uncle Sam holds a wrench in one hand and a chain that holds a missile labeled "more atomic bombs" in the other. Sam chides the other men saying, "I wouldn't be too long about it boys."
