c. The postponement of a Japanese deci-
sion on Hong Kong, ie relegation to a
hypothetical second stage of inclu-
sions, will not alter the repercussions
set out in (b), above. It would
merely be a form of lingering death
with a less obvious, but no less sure
adverse effect on the American decis-
ion than a Japanese exclusion of Hong
Kong outright.
