Description	An original political cartoon drawing created by Jack Knox, the Nashville Banner editorial cartoonist from the mid-1940s to early 1970s. This cartoon pertains to the crisis in Syria of 1957. A man ("Syria") reaches out to take "Economic Aid" from the point of a giant sickle (U.S.S.R.) that surrounds the man and is held by a giant hand. Circa August 1957, at the height of the Cold War, Syria signed an agreement with Moscow for military and economic aid. A few months earlier the U.S. Congress passed what became known as the "Eisenhower Doctrine" which named "international communism" as the greatest threat to the Syrian region. This cartoon appeared in the Nashville Banner on October 29, 1957. Forms part of the Jack Knox Political Cartoon Collection. 1 original cartoon drawing : b & w ; 14 x 19 in.
