The article discusses world politics. Japan is fighting a racial war. Race riots and other instances of race prejudice in the United States are highlighted in Japanese broadcasts to Asia and the Americas. Even before the Pearl Harbor incident, Radio Tokyo campaigned for "Asia for the Asiatics." Every scrap of evidence that the colored races of Japanese are subject to discrimination is grist to the Japanese propaganda mill. Japanese immigration laws are held up before the Chinese and Indians to prove Japanese dishonesty in claiming to fight for a free world. The evacuation of West Coast Japanese Americans is frequently referred to India has heard wild tales of Japanese Americans hacked to pieces by white mobs, their houses entered, and their women attacked.
