# 'Les Amériques Unies pour le Progrès et la Victoire' (US poster in French)

A US soldier and a Latin American soldier shake hands before a globe centred on the Americas, with aircraft, artillery, a tank and trucks behind them and a mother and children seated below. The banner 'The Americas united for progress and victory' is a virtue-word slogan (glittering generalities), and the surrounding calendar border of saints' portraits with feast days borrows religious authority for the war aim (transfer).
