In response to a question at his news conference on whether that agreement. had been entered “into with full knowldge of the military chiefs of staff,” he replied yes, but added that he himself had no knowledge of the agreement until a few days after the Japanese sur- render. He explained this by saying that the agreement for British-Ameri- can support of the Soviet claim wa reached on the last day of the Yaita conference after he had dep arted. The conference, which brought to- gether President RO0OS , Premier Stalin and Prime Minister Churchill, was held in February, 1945.
