Description

1954.02.12 “The Impatient Dragon”
by Frederick Little Packer (1886-1956)
15 x 22 in., ink on heavy paper

Packer worked at the LA Examiner from 1919-1931, and then moved to the New York Daily Mirror in 1932.
His cartoons and posters for the World War II defense effort earned him citations from the Treasury Department and the War Production Board. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize on May 5, l952 for his Truman Cartoon, "Your Editors ought to have more sense than to print what I say," which appeared in the "New York Daily Mirror" of October 6, l951.

In August 1953, he was invited by the Library of Congress to make a gift of his original drawings to its permanent collection.

Nationalist Republic of China (ROC) was a charter member of the United Nations (June 1945). The subsequent resumption of the Chinese Civil War led to the establishment of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949. Nearly all of the Chinese mainland was soon under its control and the ROC retreated to the island refuge of Taiwan.
What to do about Red China emerged rapidly as a difficult problem during the aftermath of WW2 and the unstable situation in Asia caused by both the Cold War and the Korean War. Moscow and Peking pressed continuously on the question of PRC representation, particularly in the UN General Assembly meeting following the Korean armistice (July 1953), in which the PRC played a significant role.
On October 25, 1971, after the longest debate in the history of the UN, the General Assembly admitted the PRC as a permanent member of the Security Council, ejecting one of the founding members, the Chinese Nationalists from Taiwan.

Mao’s exceptionally large delegation arrived in NYC on November 11.

The US Ambassador to the UN was George H Bush. He was posted from 1974 to 1975 as head of the U.S. Liaison Office in Beijing. Bush and his wife Barbara explored the city on bicycles, and ordinary Chinese who often recognized him called him "Busher."
