Among the figures tied to this 1945 editorial drawing are Tom Connally, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Arthur Vandenberg, the Michigan Republican whose shift toward internationalism helped secure the treaty's support. The Senate approved the United Nations Charter by an 89-to-2 vote in late July 1945, and President Harry S. Truman completed ratification in August. Cartoons like this one reflected the bipartisan effort that made American membership in the new organization possible.
