赤魔不死日滿合力 (Red Devils Not Dead; Japan and Manchukuo United), Concordia Association Jinzhou leaflet

A text-only single-sheet leaflet in two vertical lines of large characters: 'If the red devils do not die, the great disorder will not stop' and 'Japan and Manchukuo, joining forces: the Communist bandits will destroy themselves'. The loaded labels 'red devils' and 'Communist bandits' stand in for any named group or act, and the second line pairs the labels with a forecast of their self-destruction. The Concordia Association's Jinzhou provincial headquarters is named at the foot.
