Content: This item is a small Japanese-language propaganda leaflet produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office during the Pacific War. The message on the leaflet argues that General TÔJÔ repeatedly warns that the war has not yet begun and Japanese people have to expect greater hardships simply because he is thoroughly aware of the supremacy of the Allied Forces in both air and the sea. The leaflet has a small chart which highlights the superior aircraft and battleship production capacity of the Americans. The message concludes with a statement: "The final defeat of Japan is inevitable".
