The issue of this article is about the Panama Canal. Roosevelt's famous quote "Speak softly and carry a big stick." That means we could use military force if something happens. The message the cartoonist is saying is that we could use military force to get Panama Canal. What other opinions people might say is that Roosevelt is going too far when getting states. We usually use military force to get states. The techniques the cartoonist used is labeling. In the cartoon, it is showing Panama, telling us that Roosevelt is approaching Panama. Another technique is symbolism. In the cartoon, the elephant on the ship represents the party Roosevelt represents in. This supports anti-imperialism because it is showing how menacing Roosevelt is and how he is going too far.
