Shin Hōchi

Shin Hōchi, October 28, 1947

This newspaper article, “Sweeping Extirpation of Blackmarket to Defend Life of Want and Privation,” submitted to the CCD for review, reported on the criticism of the Japanese Home Ministry for its inability to control the black market and the criminal activity that took place there. The article was suppressed, which means that it was not published.
