Burma-America Friendship Poster No. 2 (Burmese poster distributed in Rangoon)
A green-masthead Burmese photo-sheet with eight captioned photographs of American and Burmese figures: an American cabinet-level visitor with a Burmese leader, handshakes, a Burmese official with an American actress, a student pair reading a magazine, a woman placing flowers at a memorial, an airport arrival and a radio studio. It shows US-Burma contacts as cordial. The tell is transfer: the standing of named officials and visitors is attached to the programme.
