Roosevelt secretly demanded of Chiang Kaishek that he take the Communists into his government, quit opposition to the Communist army which might then take Manchuria for the benefit of Stalin. In return, and behind Churchill's back, he pledged to Chiang that he would keep the British out of Hong Kong and other ports where they were formerly entrenched. <ref>''As He Saw It'', Elliot Roosevelt, New York : Duell, Sloan, and Pearce, 1946, pgs. 157 - 166.</ref>

At Cairo, Roosevelt announced that it was the intention of the allies to force Japan to unconditional surrender and to strip her of all her island possessions taken during all her wars. Thus another of Stalin's aims - completely to destroy Japan as a strong power — was insured. When U.S. Secretary of State [[Cordell Hull]] heard, he expressed misgivings, saying,  about "Japan was about to disappear as a power in the Orient" and that "there would be nothing left in the Orient to resist an aggressor."<ref>''While You Slept : Our Tragedy in Asia and Who Made It'', John T.

Roosevelt promised to Chiang the return of Manchuria, Formosa, and the Pescadores; a few days later, at the [[Teheran conference]], Roosevelt agreed with Stalin that the Soviet Union should obtain warm-water ports on the Pacific Ocean. That meant Port Arthur and Dairen -- Chinese ports -- and, the pledge made to the legitimate government of China, the Kuomintang, was broken. <ref>[http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/6315/yaltabet.html ''The Yalta Betrayal''], Felix Wittmer, Claxton Printers, 1953, pg. 43, 83.</ref><ref>''The Roosevelt Myth'', John T.
