and have agreed that deficits should be adjusted in accordance with
the following principles:-
In the event of a deficit in shipping resources, first priority should
be given to the basic undertakings in support of the over-all strategic
concepts as agreed in ARGONAUT.
So long as these first priority requirements are not adequately
covered, shipping for other requirements will not be allocated without
prior consultation with the appropriate Chiefs of Staff.
20. For the second half of 1945 the principal difficulty will be
troop shipping, which will become particularly acute in the last
quarter of the year. We have agreed that the matter should be
reviewed and a report submitted to the Combined Chiefs of Staff
not later than 1 April 1945. This report will take account, from the
shipping point of view, of the possibility that the war against Germany
may continue beyond 1 July 1945.

petroleum products that should be maintained in all theaters. The

proposals (NAF 841) 2 designed to assist the Greek Government in
forming their own army and so releasing British forces for employ-

We have agreed that the British Chiefs of Staff should proceed to
implement the Supreme Commander's proposals, on the understand-
ing that this will not interfere with the provision of equipment
for Allied and liberated forces in Northwest Europe, nor result in
subsequent direct or indirect charges against United States resources.
Appendix "A"
DIRECTIVE TO SUPREME ALLIED COMMANDER, MEDITERRANEAN,
REPEATED TO SCAEF
1. It is our primary intention in the war against Germany to build
up the maximum possible strength on the Western Front and to seek
a decision in that theater. We have, therefore, reviewed your directive
and decided as follows:-
Greece
2. The earliest possible discharge of British obligations in Greece
must be your constant aim.
The object of British presence and operations in Greece is to secure
that part of Greece which is necessary for the establishment of the
authority of a free Greek Government.
3. This object must always be regarded in the light of the paramount
need for releasing troops from Greece for use against the Germans
You should, therefore, concentrate on building up a Greek force on
a national basis as soon as possible.
Italy
4. In pursuance of the policy given in paragraph 1, it has been
decided to withdraw from your theater to the Western Front up to
