Nippon Eigasha newsreel, intertitle on Prime Minister Tojo's visit to Java and the Central Advisory Council
White lettering on black: a five-line intertitle in Indonesian spelled in the pre-1947 Dutch-based orthography. It announces a chance for the inhabitants of Java to take part in governing the country. It opens a short film that goes on to show Prime Minister Hideki Tojo in the Japanese Diet, his motorcade in Batavia and the opening of a Central Advisory Council (glittering-generalities: the virtue phrase 'take part in the government' stands in for a description of what the body could decide).
