# "Mr. Moneybags is in Florida this Christmas" leaflet, Korean War

A two-photograph leaflet in English. The upper picture shows two couples drinking cocktails at a poolside table under the line 'Mr. Moneybags is in Florida this Christmas'; the lower shows helmeted soldiers in a snowy trench under 'Where are you? In Korea!'. The closing line, 'You risk your life, Big Business rakes in the dough', assigns the war's costs and gains to two groups only (scapegoating), and the paired pictures leave out everything else (card-stacking).

Text is English except for one small Chinese printed mark at the lower right, which is low resolution; only the number 117 is clear, and the two characters before it may read 傳單 ('leaflet'). Treat that reading as uncertain.
