A booklet issued by the Allied Forces during World War II after the return of General Douglas MacArthur to the Philippine Islands in 1944.

The booklet also explains how to properly load the leaflets in shells, in preparation for them to be fired. This is one item from a scrapbook of propaganda leaflets and related materials that was compiled by the Psychological Warfare Branch of the Allied Forces in the Southwest Pacific Area during World War II. The scrapbook belonged to Colonel Karl F. Baldwin of the United States Army, who helped establish the propaganda program. It contains approximately 200 pieces of propaganda, mostly in Japanese, that were intended for distribution in the Philippines, Japan, and other nearby areas.
