| Content: | This item is a Japanese-language propaganda leaflet produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office. An English translation of the text is attached. There are two maps of Japan, China and Southeast Asia printed on the leaflet. Japan's shipping lines from Tokyo and Kyûshû Island are drawn on one of the maps. No shipping lines are drawn on the other map but a circle with a message "continuous attacks by the Allies" is included. The arrow pointing from the first-mentioned map to the second is marked "The inevitable result". The main text states that Japan's shipping capacity was not sufficient to carry out the Greater East Asia War from the beginning and now its shipping deficiency is at least 14 million tons due to the losses caused by the Allied attacks. 180,000 of them were printed. |
