JAPSCHANGE
PROPAGANDA
FOR OKINAWA
By S/Sgt. GEO. R. VOIGT
(Marine Corps
Combat Correspondent)
OKINAWA (Delayed) — Radio
Tokyo has changed its tune in
propaganda broadcasts beamed to
our troops fighting here.
The line put out over the air
ways no longer is “your’re beat so
why not give up,” but rather
“you’ll never get us to agree to un
conditional surrender so why not
settle for a negotiated peace and
go home?”
Tokyo’s propaganda attempts al
ways have been a source of
amusement to the troops, but the
new approach, in addition to being
amusing, serves as a morale build
er as well.
They re on the Hopes:
The reaction among the men of
Major General Lemuel C. Shap
herd’s Sixth Marine Division is
“when they begin talking like that
they’re on the ropes.”
The new propaganda line is put
out by a soft-spoken man, with
a slightly southern accent, *who
speaks in the first person as
though he were an American Ma
rine or soldier. He is accompanied
by soft, dreamy background music.
The gist of his dialogue is “I wan
na go home.”
“Ya know,” he starts out, “now
that Germany’s knocked out of
the picture I’d just as soon call
this thing quits and go home.”
Then he begins to gripe in the
best American serviceman’s man
ner about the hopelessness of un
conditional surrender.
Urges Negotiated Peace:
“Now you know as well as I,” he
says confidentially, “that Japan
will never agree to unconditional
surrender. And anyway, what the
hell difference does it make?
What’s wrong with a negotiated
peace.”
“I don’t know who started this
war,” the voice continues as the
Marines howl derisively, “but I do
know it takes two to keep a fight
going. And I’ve been over here a
long time and I wanna go home.
“While everybody’s talking about
unconditional surrender we could
be talking about knocking off this
fighting. The guks who started it
are all gone now anyway—or will
be gone soon. So let’s quit
“I don’t know about you guys
but I want to get back home.”
To which one Marine quipped:
“What the hell, Mac? You are
home.”
