The cartoon is about the overreaction to the communist threat!. Dies is a man's name!. He was chair of the House committee investigating anything that might be communist (red)!.

Per Wikipedia:
"In May 1938, the House Committee on Un-American Activities was established as a special investigating committee!. It was chaired by Martin Dies Jr!. and Samuel Dickstein, and therefore known as the Dies Committee!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
