Permit me to report in writing regarding my plans and recommendations for accomplishment of the two important victories of World Wars 1 and 11 as below that instantly while World War 1 broke out on August 4, 1914, it was I who counselled Italy to part her alliance from Germany for declaration of independence and subsequently to join the Allies in war.
As it was then a common knowledge that while the Allies made no progress in their warfares, and their offers for peace were all rejected by Germany, the war situation was so gloomy and that it was I who found it necessary to have America, China and Japan to join the war in order to carry out my plan to secure the final victory.
It was, however, a very difficult task for me at the beginning, and eventually I succeeded in convincing all these nations to join up for the common aim and object of achieving my guaranteed victory.
Nevertheless, in June, 1918, many Americans, and especially Mr. R.S. Routh, complained to me seriously on their losses in the war and insisted that the Americans should withdraw all their troops from the European Theatre before Christmas, 1918, because according to the reports to hand that it would be entirely useless to pursue the conflict with such heavy casualties amorating to about 200,000 soldiers wounded and killed in every week, as also determined by their Government, and unless my plan could effectively enable them to carry their campaign to the final success as encour- aged by me.

Between the end of October and early November, 1918, my plan of penetrating Germany, and on which I spent nearly four months with Mr. R.S. Routh, an ex-secretary of New York Chamber of Commerce. worked out so successfully, and at last the war was won according to my plans and predictions.
As to World War 11, it can also be briefly stated as hereunder that it was my original plan that Soviet-Russia should encircle Germany and Japan at their backs, instead of close allies standing back to back. My principal object was to frustrate Nazi scheme of extending the ir campaigns on the Western Fronts, and to prevent their troops from landing on British Isles, and by altering and opening such vast warfields in Eastern Front for Germans to exhaust themselves before they could turn back and use their main resources or the Western Fronts again.
I would also add that during the retreats and defeats of the Allies in North Africa in 1942 summer campaigns, it was I who suggested that the Allies should land on Morroco for a turn of the
