# ປະຊາຊົນທົ່ວໂລກຕ້ອງການສັນຕິພາບ (The World's People Want Peace) (Lao poster distributed in Laos)

A Lao-language photo-and-pictogram sheet headed 'peace': a farmer ploughing with oxen, a crossed-out helmeted soldier, a soldier beside a civilian family, and a photograph of a delegates' hall. The Vietnamese edition (NAID 5730168) says the United States proposed that all nations reduce armaments under UN control. The tell is glittering-generalities, peace attached to farming and family, plus card-stacking, one proposal presented as the route.

## Text on the object

Original (Lao) · read from the image, not independently checked

```
ປະຊາຊົນທົ່ວໂລກຕ້ອງການ
ສັນຕິພາບ...

[Lao script text in four blocks: header, caption beside the farm photograph, caption beside the soldier and family silhouettes, caption under the conference photograph; body text too small and stylised to transcribe reliably]
```

English translation (machine translation by Claude, not verified by a fluent reader)

```
The world's people want peace...

[Body captions follow the Vietnamese edition: to produce more food, build houses and teach their children; resources of the free world devoted to preventing aggression; the United States proposed that every nation reduce armaments; arms control to be supervised by the United Nations under international agreement. This rendering of the body is taken from the Vietnamese edition, not read from the Lao.]

Only the header is read from the Lao image; body captions not transcribed.
