Roosevelt Defends Unconditional Surrender Policy
President Roosevelt returned to Washington after a 15 000 mile Pacific tour and said allied forces will occupy Germany and Japan even if resistance collapses short of borders. He warned Germany will not avoid military occupation this time and may face postwar controls. The trip sparked talk of a Churchill meeting as France advances. He plans to study postwar unemployment and kept fears of domestic trouble low while noting pacific duties. His dog Fala drew crowds as the train crossed 21 states. The divorce suit of Nora May Courter against Pearl Ellis Courter was dismissed.
