La Guerra Ilustrada: Noticias de las Americas, No. 4 [The War Illustrated: News of the Americas]
A photo-collage news sheet shows US paratroopers, a Midway commemoration parade, US motor torpedo boats and Japanese prisoners behind barbed wire, plus Brazilian president Vargas shaking hands with US Navy Secretary Knox. Only Allied strength and cooperation are pictured (card-stacking), and the handshake and flags attach US prestige to the Latin American partner (transfer).
