exposed critical production and naval facilities - the only type of attack that is presently indicated
against our mainland. Russia is devoting her entire resources to the destruction of the Germsart
army, thereby compelling large-scale diversions of German manpower and materiel from other
fronts. China is near complete isolation and needs military materiel. She is conducting limited
offensives to assist in defense of Malaysia. The maintenance of adequate air and sea
communications and the safety of China demand the defense of the Singapore - Philippine Dutch
Indies area. It follows that Malaysia is a theater of present urgent importance.
 
     The following immediate military measures should be undertaken by:
 
     China:  Defend China, assist in defense of Burma, and provide facilities for air operations
against Japanese homeland.
 
     Russia: Continue offensive operations against Germany.
 
     British Commonwealth:
          a. In cooperation with United States maintain sea communications in Atlantic and          to Middle and Far East.
 
          b. Strengthen Singapore, Burma and Dutch East Indies to secure those areas and       reduce the threat to China.
