Action: A bird is carying an atomic bomb

Caption: Peace, and Atomic Bomb
Objects: A bird, a plant, a bomb with a tag on it.
Summary: I think that this cartoon is saying that during the war the only way that Britian and Germany could reslove their conflict or bring
peace was by bombing and voilence (which is the opposite of peace). The bird is supposed to represent peace which is bring a "gift" or solution which is an Atomic Bomb.
