Uncle Santa Claus

Atop a globe, Uncle Sam, dressed in as Santa Claus, sits on a large bag of money (control of world finances) and holding a giant book (U.S. credit book on foreign nations) while commenting, "let's see, now– which are the good little boys and which are the bad ones?" Several stockings are pinned around the globe (Mexico, Central America, S. America, Balkans, Italy, France, Germany, Poland, Russia, and Japan) with a note that reads, "Dear Santy—Please bring us some loans."
