It is written in Russian and is criticising the LON.

These men represent Wilson, Lloyd Geaorge and Clemenceau. The cartoon represents them as overweight, greedy and therefore taking all resources for themselves. 

Starving bodies.

These represent the starving people of Russia and Germany. The cartoon is blaming the TOV for reducing these countries ability to feed thier people.
