      conference, at which I discussed these matters with President 
      Roosevelt, that the United States even if not herself attacked 
      would come into the war in the Far East and thus make the final 
      victory assured, seemed to allay some of these anxieties; and 
      that expectation has not been falsified by the events.
 
                                                            
 
 
"It fortified our British decision to use our limited 
      resources on the actual fighting front. As time went on we had 
      the greater assurance that if Japan ran amok in the Pacific we 
      would not find ourselves alone. * * *"
