Peace Treaty Banner - Portsmouth, NH celebrates signing of the Russian-Japanese Peace Treaty, resolving the 1905 war on neutral grounds, with no interference when President Roosevelt provided the naval ship yard. This banner, announcing the celebration, features the flags of Russia and Japan. The North Church bell, proclaiming peace, and dove, symbol for impartiality, are rendered in US Navy grey. The olive branch represents Mr. Roosevelt’s deed of allowing debates to occur without intrusion, yet with hope for peace.
