The following is the continuation of the previous chapter.
Roosevelt disingenuous treatment
Nakanishi
Similarly, as the leftist progressive view of history historian says, 'Since the Roosevelt regime was friendly to socialist policies like the new Deal policy, it is a kind of sympathy for socialism led to indulgent of correspondence to Stalin', the view that it is is also wrong.
Originally Roosevelt's behavior was not moral integrity at all, trying to carry out policies according to one principle and philosophy besides American hegemony.
On August 9, 1941, Roosevelt, who had a secret talk with Churchill on the Atlantic Ocean, had already clearly entered the Second World War, ‘(UK and US) Both countries do not seek expansion of the territory (in this war)’, ‘I do not want a territorial change that does not match the hope that the people concerned freely express freely (ethnic self-determination) it itself announced the ‘Atlantic Charter’ which is a propaganda like a declaration for war purpose.
At the same time, Japanese Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro had proposed a Japan-U.S. Summit with Roosevelt through the US Ambassador to Japan Joseph Clark Grew to avoid the Japan-US War.
However, America procrastinated the answer in to be not altogether hopeless manner and kicked out Konoe's offer.
It was talking with Churchill over the last Atlantic meeting. Including this one case, in the entire Japan-U.S. Negotiations in 1941, the United States repeated diplomatic correspondences that could be said to be very dishonest and almost deceptive to Japan.
And I stuck at the end of the phrase is ‘Hull note’ of that high-pressure ultimatum.
I wonder why Japanese historians do not point out the disingenuous treatment of Roosevelt to Japan after the war.
Watanabe Currently, I am advancing the translation of Professor Charles Callan Tansill of Georgetown University's History Department ‘Back Door to War’ (‘Participating in war from the back door. Roosevelt diplomacy identity 1933-1941’ This fall, scheduled to be rolled out from Soshisha).
According to this document, Prime Minister Konoe made the condition ‘Do not talk to the media’ when he requested the meeting to Roosevelt, the Roosevelt government leaked the meeting request.
Konoe wanted to negotiate carefully so that domestic strong opposition to the United States would not be understood.
If his movements 'come to light', he is sure of his own stall.
It can only think that it was intention to crush the Japan-U.S. Summit meeting that leaked this.
Nakanishi
In the United States, the process of the series of Japan-US negotiations from the spring of 1941 to the ‘Hull note’ itself was a ‘fake’, a fraud strategy to earn the preparation time for opening the war against Japan.
The idea of trying to avoid war with Japan from the outset was not at all in Roosevelt.
