Surrender Pamphlet

[Jags1]

I would appreciate it, if someone could look at the attached pamphlet and translate some of the information printed on it. I was told that it was a pamphlet used to encourage surrender during WWII but I'm not sure. I tried to use a translation app and got all sorts of conflicting information.... It almost seemed to a propaganda piece for the Japanese people..
I apologize if I don't have the page orientation correct.....!
Many thanks for the help!

It is a US propaganda leaflet that is encouraging the Japanese people to not fall for the propaganda and lies spread by the Japanese military/government/press.
For example, the lines coming out of the radio microphone are examples of headlines or news items that were spread by the Japanese media, and the dates they were published or announced, but were later proven to be false. For example
"Our army has destroyed the American navy's main forces" (Jan 20th, 1943)
"The US and European powers naval forces have been eliminated, and the Pacific Ocean is under Japan's control" (September 28th, 1942)
etc...

Basically, it's asking the Japanese people to think for themselves, and to not trust a government that lies so blatantly to its people.

Here's a link to a full translation of that leaflet, Bonner Frank Fellers & Psychological Warfare Leaflets in World War II. You just have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, its the last leaflet.
