To prime Minister
Churchill and Roosevelt
Agree On Joint Pacific Policy
A working agreement governing policy in the western
Pacific was believed to have been one of the main points
discussed at the momentous conference between Prime
Minister’ Churchill and President Roosevelt. It was des
cribed as a discussion of a “down-to-brass-tacks attitude.”
and was thought to cover the timing of a joint aggressive
action, the mutual use of each other’s bases, and the part
the Soviet would be asked to play.
At the same time, point 4 in the joint declaration of
the two leaders was regarded as significant, and as an
alternative olive branch to Japan. This point offered
freedom of world trade, with access to markets and raw
materials for all countries. This is the particular case
that Japan has pleaded in the past as the underlying
factor in her foreign policy. Some doubt was attached to
the value of this point however, owing to the attached
qualifying phrase, “with due respect for existing obligations.”
