Hello im new to the forum, any forum that is, and will be? posting articles from a magazine Nippon Times Weekly - today's JAPAN TIMES Tokyo, Thursday April 29, 1943 Vol. XIV No. 17 GREATER EAST ASIA CO-PROSPERITY SPHERE NUMBER cuz i think its interesting. and am wondering about the interest in the articles? -is it ok to place the full text here? -perhaps this would be of interest to a researcher. -NOT interested in selling these weeklies. I'm no historian and I'm wondering why this news organization put this issue out at this particular time. i have 3 weeklies, not all from from Nippon Times , i picked up in Japan. the above is a propaganda "Special" perhaps. as some ads include exhortations to... "Save Electricity! The Die is Cast, Let's Fight to the Last!" - NATIONAL - (Japan's General Electric ? ) --------------------- Music First ! Then the Work! ( ....?????? Party Till We Drop! ??) -Nipponophone Co.- (- manufacturer of a gramaphone) --------------------- and CONTENTS LET US MARCH ONWARD! .........................27 by Masayuki Tani Former Foreign Minister of Japan ---- It is upon the lofty ideals of Hakko Ichiu, on which our Empire is founded that Japan is now engaged in constructing a Co-Prosperity Sphere of the Greater East Asia so that the various peoples in this part of the world, who have suffered so long under the yoke of Anglo-Saxon tyranny, may have their proper places and enjoy common well-being and prosperity. ----Wholehearted cooperation has been rendered to the operation of our Imperial Forces by the people of Malai, the Philippines, the East Indies and elsewhere. They have not only offered willing cooperation for the development of essential natural resources but also voluntarily placed at Japan's disposal every availability facility fotr the successful prosecution of the war. In fact, the peoples of the South, one and all, are at present doing their utmost toward the establishment of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. All this has brought bitter disillutionment to the United States and Britain, on the one hand, but surprised the whole world on the other.

I'll be trying to find my way around this forum!
Welcome - am sure this will be of interest to many, just don't keep posting the same thing in different places. It gets... confusing.
Looks Interesting, Like Paul said, only post it one place, or it'll get confusing. ... and welcome to the forums! Jess.
