The President of the United States of America and the Prime Minister, Mr. Churchill,
representing His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, being met together, deem it right
to make known certain common principles in the national policies of their respective countries on
which they base their hopes for a better future for the world.
     First, their countries seek no aggrandisement, territorial or other;
     Second, they desire to see no territorial changes that do not accord with the freely
expressed wishes of the peoples concerned;
     Third, they respect the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which
they will live; and they wish to see self-govermment restored to those from whom it has been
forcibly removed.
                                        Fourth,
