Prodded

Punch, London's politico-humorous weekly, prodded President Coolidge for offering Europe aid after the reparations tangle had been unraveled. In a political cartoon, Mr. Coolidge is seen standing on the bank while he watches Dame Europa floundering in the reparations swamp. Says "Cal": "As soon as you have extricated yourself from the morass in which you are now wallowing I will be happy, Madame, to summon assistance."
