Japanese Committee on Trade and Information

The Japanese Committee on Trade and Information was a Japanese-run propaganda organization that was active in the United States between 1937 and 1940. In Japanese it was called the Jikyoku Iinkai (時局委員会) , literally the "Current Affairs Committee".^[1]

Many of its former members and paid propagandists were tried and imprisoned in the aftermath of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
