# Chitra Katha photo poster No. 32: Baghdad Pact Organization, aid to peace (Bengali photo poster distributed in Dacca)

A Bengali photo sheet on the Baghdad Pact ministerial council at Ankara in late January, 27 to 30 January per the captions. Photographs show the council hall, delegations from Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Turkey and Britain, U.S. observers including Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, and Pakistan's army chief received by a Turkish guard. The tell is bandwagon and card-stacking: the headline names the pact a helper of peace and the images show only ceremony and agreement.
