(Not that there had been much expectation for such help; moreover, if it were to occur, it would scarcely be mentioned in the communiqué.) There was no call for an Asian peace conference, as some had hoped. There appeared no agreement on Japan's expanding role as an Asian power. There was no give on the problem of divided Korea.
