# สหประชาชาติ: ความหวังอันดีเลิศเพื่อสันติภาพของเรา (United Nations: Our Best Hope for Peace) (Thai poster distributed in Thailand; NARA title 'U.N. Day Poster')

A blue sheet with the United Nations emblem twice and two black-and-white photographs: three men in different military and naval uniforms with arms around each other's shoulders, and two nurses examining a woman lying on a bed. Thai text names the United Nations and calls it 'the best hope for our peace'. The tell is transfer and glittering-generalities: the emblem and images of cooperation and care carry the UN's prestige to a broad, unspecific promise of peace.
