Southeast Asia Veterans Conference, 'For Peace and Security' (English-language poster distributed in the Philippines)
A poster announcing a Southeast Asia Veterans Conference at Manila, 17-21 September 1952. Two hands hold up a globe centred on Asia with a white dove and olive branch above it, and a ring of national flags circles the wrists. The slogan reads 'For Peace and Security'. The tell is glittering-generalities and transfer: the dove and the ring of flags attach peace and joint action to the gathering.
