Stay on the Job Until Every Murdering Jap Is Wiped Out! A Japanese soldier with a snarling face drives a rifle butt into a kneeling American while a column of captives is marched behind him; a torn newspaper clipping on the Philippines 'March of Death' sits over the scene. The slogan ties the factory worker's job to wiping out 'every murdering Jap', so the slur and the atrocity headline, not any further argument, carry the call to keep producing. ## Text on the object Original (English) · read from the image, not independently checked ``` What are YOU going to do about it? 5200 Yank Prisoners Killed by Jap Torture In Philippines; Cruel 'March of Death' Described Other Thousands of Victims Were Filipinos; Captives Were Starved, Beaten, Bayoneted, Shot and Even Beheaded, Army and Navy Report STAY ON THE JOB UNTIL EVERY MURDERING JAP IS WIPED OUT! U.S. ARMY OFFICIAL POSTER I.S.D. No. 148 ``` Transcribed from the 1024 px scan. The clipping also carries fragments of neighbouring newspaper headlines at its lower edge ('Soviets Near', 'Heavy Action Rises in Fury Crack Unit', 'RAF Hurls New Blows at Europe') and a line of body text that is cut off and not legible; the Government Printing Office imprint at the foot is too small to read.
