Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek to President Roosevelt 24
The President: I take much pleasure in conveying to you and your people and army my warm greetings and best wishes for 1944 which will be the most decisive year in our war against the aggressors. Recent events have clearly shown that this titanic struggle will inevitably end in a total victory for the United Nations who will not lay down arms until their common enemies have unconditionally surrendered. I can assure you that the Chinese people are determined to play their full part in helping to bring about the consummation of our joint task of building a new world which is made truly safe for democracy.
