5.
The Japanese Government agrees to withdraw her army, which is at present
stationed in French Indo-China, whenever peace shall have been established
between Japan and China or a just peace firmly established in the Pacific area.
6.
The Japanese Government (agrees?) that if the principle of nondiscriminatory
treatment in trade is to be applied throughout the world the same principle
should also be applied to the entire Pacific area, in other words, in China as
well.
7.
The two governments shall make world peace their common objective and shall
cooperate at a suitable time for speedy realization of world peace. However, in
dealing with developments prior to the establishment of world peace, the two
governments shall act in accordance with the viewpoint of protection and self
defense. Furthermore, in the event of the United States' participation in the
European war, Japan shall automatically carry out what she understands to be
the obligations which befall her as a party to the Three Power Agreement
existing between Japan, Germany and Italy. (Point 7 is identical with what is
given in paragraph 2 of our proposal of ______ of this month and does not
contain the purport given in the first part of
