Propaganda

During WWII there was a lot of propaganda from a lot of countries that tried to portray their country as the better one.  This certain poster was made by the American government and it was aimed towards the American citizens. The poster is trying to say that the Japanese people are listening and watching the Americans to figure out what our attack/war plan is. When it says "open trap make happy Jap" it is trying to say that when you talk about war things and open your mouth the Japanese are going to be happy because they are going to figure out what you are trying to do. The American government was trying to tell the American Citizens that they should not give out any war info. I would say this poster is a little extreme because it is trying to show all of the Japanese people as evil and as trying to spy on us and see if they can get any info. This is false because not everyone is like that.
