SAREY ARCHIVES A "NATIONAL TRUMAN LIBERT
JUNE, 1945.
U.S.
Admiral Leahy wrote (Page 3831 that the Joint Chiefs
Of Staff in meetings on June 14, 15 and 29, with the addition of a
long White House conference with the President on June 18, adopted
the basic plans that became, with some modifications, the military
report of the Potsdam Conference. He said it was agreed to seek
the earliest date the unconditional surrender of the Japanese and
pending the President's approval, it was decided on June 14 that
invading and seizing objectives in the Japanese home islands would
be the main effort.
He wrote that the Joint Chiefs also agreed to
encourage Russian entry into the war "in accordance with the
contingeat conditions accepted by Roosevelt at Yalta. He wrote
that Stalin had told Harry Hopkins he expected the Russian forces
to be in pogition to attack by August 8.
Leahy wrote (Page 384) that the White House con-
ference was held primarily to discuss the necessity and practicability
of invading the Japanese home islands. He said Marshall and King
both strongly advodated the invasion of Kyushu at the earliest
possible date. Meahy had been opposed to invasion of the Jap mainland.
Marshall held that such an attempt on Kyushu would cost in casualties
not more than КОММУМ 63,000 of the 190,000 combatant tropps estimated
as necessary for the invasion.
Leahy says the President approved the Kyushu operation
but withheld for later consideration a general invasion of Japan.
June 29th meeting of the Joint Chiefs set November 1
as the invasion date for Kyushu and the JCS insisted on stating
that this operation was to get into position for the decisive invasion
of industrial Japan through the Tokyo plain.
