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 Melanesia.

The message states that the Allies are prepared to negotiate a conditional surrender which the Japanese can honourably accept.
