The demand was included in a deela-
ration unanimously reported on by the
committee on f|urtherance Of the Allied

delegates.

these concessions toward formal diplo-
macy. the Soviet approval of the deela-
ration. which said that final victory
against Japan is assured, was taken as
a strong indication of the UsSRs atti-
tude toward the war in the Pacific.
