Cartoon shows a cannon labeled "Free World Defense" sitting on a cliff, whose base is being chipped away by a hammer and sickle labeled "Peace Offensive." Expresses the view that the peace propaganda issued by the Soviet Union is undercutting the efforts of the West to build an effective defense system. Don Hesse (1918-1985) worked as a cartoonist for the St. Louis Globe-Democrat between 1951 and 1984.
