On April 20, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson sent a letter to the German government regarding the recent attacks by German submarines on unarmed passenger ships. The recent torpedo attack against the liner 'Sussex' prompted Wilson to threaten to sever diplomatic relations with Germany. On May 5, 1916, Germany responded to Wilson's letter, promising to modify submarine warfare but only on the condition that Great Britain discontinue the blockade of ships carrying food to Germany. Clubb's cartoon was published the day following Germany's response. The cartoon does not overtly praise Wilson, but it does portray the President as a strong, thoughtful man, thoroughly in charge.
