Description
A propaganda leaflet produced by the Far Eastern Liaison Office (FELO) during the Second World War. This leaflet is written in Japanese and was distributed to Batavia. It is accompanied by an English translation of the text. The message concerns Mr Imada Yoshitoshi, a Japanese civilian interned in Australia. He reportedly said on the radio, "The Australian treatment of Japanese POWs was very fair."
