Content: This item is a Japanese-language propaganda leaflet produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office. It is a revised version of the leaflet numbered 7/9/14 JK6. The message mentions the losses suffered by the Japanese on Bougainville and the transfer of strength of the Allied Forces to the Asia-Pacific after the surrender of Germany. It urges the Japanese troops to consider surrendering rather than dying uselessly so that they can contribute to the future of Japan.
