# 中美偉大領袖 為公理自由奮鬥！ [The Great Leaders of China and America Fight for Justice and Freedom!]

A tall Chinese-language poster places the Statue of Liberty between the Chinese sun emblem and a US flag, above round portraits of Chiang Kai-shek and Franklin D. Roosevelt. The slogan 'fight for justice and freedom' is an undefined virtue phrase, and the statue and flags lend national symbols to the two leaders.
