TARGET　　　Japanese troops on N.Luzon

REMARKS　　　Txst only on front and reverse.
　　　　　　　　　　Requested by 6th Army.

Front　　　Today is The Emperor's Birthday

Back　　　Today, 29 April 45, is the birthday
　　　　　　　of H.M. the Emperor.

　　　It is regrettable that you Japanese soldiers
must greet this day of public festival defeated
everywhere by overwhelming superiority
of ground, air and naval forces, and that, faced
with hopeless conditions,
you have to seek a useless death.

　　　The military leaders who are responsible for
this war are again unable to offer the Emperor
a victory on his birthday.
Rather, they are afraid of exposure of their
own incompetence.

　　　How much longer can these military leaders
continue to deceive the Emperor?
