同宗同色同努力 (Same Ancestry, Same Colour, Same Effort), Concordia Association Jinzhou leaflet

A text-only single-sheet leaflet in two vertical lines of large characters: 'Same ancestry, same colour, same effort, one heart, one virtue, people of one continent' and 'Japan and Manchukuo have agreed: same kindred, same compatriots; the Rescript proclaims one virtue, one heart'. The sheet asserts shared descent and colour as a unity claim and names a rescript as its authority, with no further evidence. The Concordia Association's Jinzhou headquarters is named at the foot.

English translation (machine translation by Claude, not verified by a fluent reader)

[right column] Same ancestry, same colour, same effort, one heart, one virtue, people of one continent.
[left column] Japan and Manchukuo have agreed: same kindred, same compatriots; the Rescript on the Return proclaims one virtue, one heart.
[foot] Manchukuo Empire / Concordia Association, Jinzhou Provincial Headquarters

In the left column the characters 同澤 and 回鑾詔 are the least certain readings at 960 px. The 1935 Rescript on the Return of the Emperor (回鑾訓民詔書) is the usual Manchukuo source of 'one virtue, one heart', but the sheet does not spell it out.
