It was a summary which defined the problems facing Britain and America east of Suez in the three main tasks of keeping Russia effectively in the war, preventing a German and Japanese junction in the Indian Ocean area, and halting Japanese advances towards India on the one hand, or Australia and the South-West Pacific on the other .
