Cartoon shows Soviet leader Khrushchev as King Canute, sitting on his throne decorated with a hammer and sickle, ordering a huge wave (labeled "N.A.T.O.") not to come in. The cartoon refers to the story of King Canute who ordered the waves to stand still as a proof of his power. The Soviet Union saw the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as a threat and Khrushchev denounced it as aggressive in intent. Suggests that Soviet warnings will have no effect on the development of NATO.
