It is interesting to note the Japanese considered their powers as "Allied," when their enemies shared the same title.
Does anyone have information on the authorship of this document? Who were the team of people who wrote the English and Japanese versions? I have heard some evidence that Donald Roy Gillespie, Ensign, US Navy, a Japanese code breaker during the war, played a part.
