"Sacre bleu!" Illustration shows a Frenchman standing outside the U.S. Treasury building, he is holding in one hand a newspaper that states "Colombia Rejects Canal Treaty" and in the other hand a paper labeled "40,000,000 for France if Treaty is Ratified". It appears that he was about to cash-in a promissory note for $40 million, only to discover at the last moment that it is worthless. Political Cartoon, 1903
