The following is the continuation of the previous chapter.
At that time, the US Department of State had four Special Secretary of State Secretaries, who was one of those who was in charge of the Far East problem by Stanley Hornbek.
Hornbek was a Chinese expert who also had a professional teaching position in Mainland China, but from a previous history it was a strong anti - Japanese and it was a unilateral Chinese favor.
However, it is unlikely that America's policy towards Japan in that day was determined by the preference of one bureaucrat of this degree.
President Roosevelt at the time of after all, presidential aides, and even the anti-Japanese sentiment of the media had a big influence.
Hornbeck was just convenient for regime and in the fact that victory against the Japanese war was also an issue of time and in 1944 it was on September 1 and then the Far East Director It was replaced with Joseph Clark Grew, former Ambassador of Japan for the pro-Japanese, and Hornbek eventually moved to the Ambassador to the Netherlands, compared to the Far East it is an unimportant post.
Perhaps it was used up, as Hornbek is a spokesman for Chiang Kai - shek 's Republic of China, there was no appearance of being the main Soviet faction and Marxist in mainstream Roosevelt regime at that time.
It seems that the fact that it was simply a big dislike for Japan was only useful for the administration. What I cannot avoid questioning here is how much the Japanese embassy in the US or the foreign ministry of the home country studied the character of the Roosevelt administration before the war and approached Roosevelt's aides and influential people on the government side have you striven to do that?
The above Hull Note, in exchange for the US-Japan interim provisional agreement made as a temporary earnings for the time being, suddenly I was struck against Japan, one of the reasons, that there the theory that Owen Lattimore, Chiang Kai-shek counselor, from Chongqing, he was strongly encouraged Lautlin Currie, one of the presidential aide advisors to crush the provisional agreement proposal, emphasizes the previous circumstance,
Roosevelt's aides, in the vicinity, in addition to this, Harry Hopkins, who was living in the White House, considered to be a strong pro-Soviets, Alger Hiss, a senior State Department official who was revealed to be a Soviet intelligence agent after the war, and Harry Dexter White of Treasury officials and so on.
Alger Hiss joined Roosevelt as a member of Roosevelt at a Yalta meeting in February 1945 in February 1945, when it decided to pass Japan's Kuril Islands, South Sakhalin to the Soviet Union as compensation for participation in Japan.
As well known in Japan, White has been considered involved with the case that the United States has handed Hull Note to Japan, but after the war for a while, apart from that, he died when He was still being interrogated with the Soviet intelligence agent, there are various theories about the cause of death.
