The receipt was issued by the OCA to record the amount of money 'donated' by the Chinese community towards the Japanese war effort. The donations were part of a drive by the Japanese military administration to force the Chinese community to donate a total sum of $50 million. Such documents capture the sort of policies that were implemented by the Japanese military and show how they affected the Chinese community.
