plan would set up an Atlantic
board of strategy consisting OF
Russia, the United States and
Great Britain, so that Russia
might take full part in European
war councils, unhampered by the
political considerations of the fact
that Russia is not at war with
Japan. ,
The same United States and
British members would serve on
the Pacific board OF strategy, but
China would be an equal member
there. and thus there would be no
political considerations attending
the fact that China and Germany
are not at war.
