China for the wrongs which have been done to her. W thought 
      it well, too, to take this opportunity to tell the people of 
      Korea that we had not forgotten them and that their country would, 
      in due course become free and independent again. The House may 
      say and it is true, that there is, in all this, no new declaration 
      of British policy. The House will remember that even before Pearl 
      Harbor, the Prime Minister warned Japan that if she attacked 
      the United States we would declare war within the hour. From 
      that moment we have been committed to the objectives which are 
      set out now, for the first time, internationally, in the Cairo 
      agreement. We are committed to them because we understand that 
      to destroy Germany and then make a compromise peace with Japan, 
          would only sow the seeds of a Third World War.    
 
                                                            
 
 
Let me emphasize. The war with Japan is not one in which we 
      in this country are playing the part of benevolent assistants. 
      Even if we are compelled, for the time being, to devote the greater 
      part of our human and material resources to the task of defeating 
      Germany. We are still principals in the Far Eastern war. Japan 
      is just as great a menace to the security of the British Commonwealth 
      as she is to the security of either the United States or China. 
      Ask any one of the splendid fighting men from Canada, Australia 
      or New Oealand who are in this country, whether they have any 
      doubts on this score or whether they could contemplate any future 
      for their countries unless the power of Japan were broken. They 
      and thousands of their fellows came here in 1939 to help us in 
      our defense here. Many of them are still here, in spite of the 
      dangers to their own countries and we should be utterly unworthy 
      of our heritage and traditions, if we did not, at the earliest 
      possible moment, deploy all our resources for the purpose of 
      establishing their security on a firm basis. For that we have 
      to fight Japan to the bitterness whatever the cost and however 
                          long it takes.

I have no doubt hat his meeting between the leaders of the 
      three great powers, upon whom rests the heaviest shire in the 
      conduct of the war against Japan, has been of the greatest service 
      to our cause in the political as well as in the military sphere. 
      I was able during these conversation to have some discussion 
      with our Chinese friends on another matter in which I know the 
      House takes an interest -- post-war collaboration between our 
      two
