# Free World Pictorial poster, Vol. 4 No. 5 (Chinese poster distributed in Taipei)

A Chinese-language photo sheet of about ten items. Pictures show the new U.S. Secretary of State, Chiang Kai-shek at a reception for foreign diplomats, overseas Chinese youth returning to Taiwan, three portraits of the Dalai Lama with a report headed as an accusation against Chinese Communist violence in Tibet, a demonstration sign reading 'Protect Dalai Lama from Red terror', U.S. Navy nuclear-submarine training, a film still and a jade exhibit. The tell is card-stacking: reports on U.S. and Taiwan officials and on Tibet are chosen to support the 'free world' framing.
