This very good condition three panel heavy paper pamphlet would probably be thirty times longer if the United States lost the war.

Among the phrases is "ha-DA-ka-nee NA-ray!" which translates in English to "Remove your clothes." We would not be surprised to discover a social website by that name. Included with the pamphlet is an advertisement card for the Han Yang Cafe with the hours of 5 PM to Midnight, with charming dancing hostesses who may or may not "ha-DA-ka nee NA-ray."
