| Content: | This item is a copy of a Japanese-language propaganda news bulletin produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office. It appears that the news bulletin continued to be produced after the surrender of Japan in order to communicate with the Japanese troops in Borneo. It reports the arrival of the Japanese and Allied delegates at Manila for the first post-surrender meeting between the former foes. It also discusses the situation in Manchuria, China and New Guinea after the surrender of Japan. |
