# Free World Pictorial poster, Vol. 1 No. 3 (Chinese poster distributed in Taipei)

A Chinese-language photo sheet of about a dozen items on Asia, Taiwan and the United States. Pictures show the Malayan independence ceremony, a Catholic archbishop greeting officials, a textile mill visit, a tractor demonstration, a poster honouring Ramon Magsaysay held by President Eisenhower and others, a child with a trophy and U.S. patrol ships handed to Taiwan. The tell is card-stacking: ceremonies, aid and alliance scenes are selected, with no unfavourable items.
