The three great Allies ex- pressed their resolve to bring un- i‘ " g pressure against their brutal enemies by sea. land and air. They are fighting this war to restrain and punish the ag gression of Japan. They covet no gain for themselves and have no thought of territorial expansion.

The three Allies will continue to persevere in the serious prolonged operations necessary to procure the unconditional surrender of Japan.
