War plans for late 1946 and Japan surrender terms
Washington reports that Army and Navy leaders expect the war to last into late 1946 with Japan fighting to the end. Clean‑up campaigns in China depend on Russia, and if Moscow enters the war soon Allied actions in Asia may be minimal. No peace offers from Tokyo have been received, and Stalin’s Big Three talks continue.
