| Content: | This item is a Japanese-language propaganda leaflet produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office. An English translation of the text is attached. The front of the leaflet has an illustration showing that the sea route between mainland Japan and the former Dutch East Indies has been severed. The message on the back quotes the War Minister Marshall SUGIYAMA saying, "It is most regrettable that the various Japanese front lines are being handicapped by the deterioration of our supply line and bases". The leaflet points out that the comment was made before the landing of the American forces on the Philippines and implies that the situation for the Japanese is much worse now. The message concludes, questioning how it is possible to fight without supplies. |
