- At the conclusion of a two-day conference between Chiang Kaishek of China and President Elpidio Quirino of the Philippines at the Malacañang Palace in Manila, Philippines, the two leaders issued a joint-declaration committing the two countries to closer economic and cultural ties, and expressed their wish for democratic nations of the far east to form an anti-communist alliance. At the press conference after the declaration, a journalist asked Quirino whether he would be willing to host Chiang Kaishek's government should it flee mainland China; Quirino said that should Chiang ask, he would host a Chinese government-in-exile in Manila. ww2dbase [Chiang Kaishek | Manila | CPC]

"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill
