The whole program was un-

Mr. Churchill.
This We may infer from the fact
that the President went there
without any agenda and that Mr..
Churchill went there with plan.
Churchilrs plan included that
the President should issue a warn
ing 10 Japan that II she advanced
any further in French Indo-China
he would take whatever steps he
deemed necessary 10 protect our
interest, even thought II meant
war. and that an attack on the

together. Churchill and the Dutch
were To issue similar statements.
