CONFIDENTIAL
IMPLEMENTATION OF FIRST WAR GUILT INFORMATION PROGRAM
OCTOBER, 1945 - JUNE, 1946
NEWSPAPERS
1. A running story, entitled Historical Articles on the War in the Pacific (approximately 15,000 words) presenting the true history of the War, was prepared by CIE, approved by the historian, G-3, and received almost complete coverage in the Japanese daily press from 8 December 1945 until the series ended. This history emphasised guilt for inception of the war, revelations of historical truth theretofore kept from Japanese people, and facts about Japanese atrocities, particularly in Nanking and Manila. (Tab D-1).
2. Before the actual released of the above history, an information program emphasising war atrocities was carried out in conjunction with the Yamashita trial in Manila, the issuance of lists of Japanese war criminals to be apprehended and tried at Yokohama, and, after 8 December 1945 in conjunction with the Historical Articles series itself. The atrocity and war guilt information program was divided into the following activities:
a. about 1,000 copies of the Sack of Manila (Tab B-2) were distributed to the Japanese press by CIE. The press was strongly urged to utilize this document in any part and at any time to give factual presentation of Japanese atrocities.
b. Appropriate excerpts and photographs from the Report on the Destruction of Manila and Japanese Atrocities (issued by the Office of the Resident Commission of the Philippines to the United States) were furnished to the Japanese press with strong recommendations for liberal use. (Tab B-3).
c. Information from the two publications mentioned above was supplemented by photos of captured Japanese documents giving evidence of rape, mass killings of civilians, torture of prisoners of war, beheadings and other atrocities. A dozen detailed stories of atrocities as quoted in Japanese documents were furnished to CIE by ATIS and released to the Japanese press, in November-December 1945.
3. Subsequent to December 1945, press releases in conjunction with the radio series, "Now It Can Be Told" (Tabs K and H) were furnished to all newspapers, and on 9 February 1946, details of arrests of war criminals and the crimes with which they were charged were distributed to all newspapers by Kyodo News Agency.
4. Representative editorials of leading newspapers on the trial subject of war guilt are carried under Tab B-4.
BOOKS
1. The Historical Articles on the War in the Pacific were translated into Japanese and published in book form (172 pages) by Takayama Shoin, a commercial publishing house. Two editions (March, 1946 and June, 1946) totaling 10,000 copies were printed and sold. (Tab C-1).
2. The following books, based on the "Truth Box" radio program, were published and circulated in the numbers indicated below:
a. The Truth Box, the actual state of the Pacific war, covering politics, diplomacy, land, sea and air battles, published by the Cosmo Publishing Company, Tokyo. 20,000 copies sold in 1946. (Tab C-2).

MAGAZINES
1. "Notes and Documents pertaining to the Surrender," statement of Japan's position under the surrender terms, was released to all magazines in February, 1946. Comprehensive files of the publications are not available, but there is evidence that the material was not widely used.
2. Selected individual shows, as aired over the nationwide radio program, "Truth Box", were carried in the Japanese magazine Nippon Rekishi in June, July and August 1946. The June and July numbers carried the story of the Battle of the Coral Sea, Midway and the Aleutians; the August issue carried the story of the rape of Nanking. Circulation of the magazine at the time was 5,500 copies monthly.
RADIO
1. "Now It Can Be Told," a dramatization of the Historical Articles was broadcast in a series of ten weekly programs, from 9 December 1945 to 10 February 1946.
2. Concurrently, CIE initiated a nationwide radio program, known as the "Now It Can Be Told 'Question Box'", to allow for audience participation in asking questions prompted by the original program. When the original program ended, the "Question Box" became the "Truth Box". This new program ran for 41 consecutive weeks, ending 4 December 1946. It had a listener reaction which averaged 900 to 1200 letters weekly, a very high response for Japan at that time.
