During this process, an error crept into the London text, but this was subsequently corrected . The account in Churchill's The Second World War concludes "A number of verbal alterations were agreed, and the document was then in its final shape", and makes no mention of any signing or ceremony . In Churchill's account of the Yalta Conference he quotes Roosevelt saying of the unwritten British constitution that "it was like the Atlantic Charter--the document did not exist, yet all the world knew about it . Among his papers he had found one copy signed by himself and me, but strange to say both signatures were in his own handwriting ." </P> <P> The Allied nations and leading organisations quickly and widely endorsed the Charter . At the subsequent meeting of the Inter-Allied Council in London on 24 September 1941, the governments in exile of Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, and Yugoslavia, as well as the Soviet Union, and representatives of the Free French Forces, unanimously adopted adherence to the common principles of policy set forth in the Atlantic Charter . On 1 January 1942, a larger group of nations, who adhered to the principles of the Atlantic Charter, issued a joint Declaration by United Nations stressing their solidarity in the defense against Hitlerism . </P> <P> The Axis powers interpreted these diplomatic agreements as a potential alliance against them . In Tokyo, the Atlantic Charter rallied support for the militarists in the Japanese government, who pushed for a more aggressive approach against the U.S. and Britain . </P> <P> The British dropped millions of flysheets over Germany to allay fears of a punitive peace that would destroy the German state . The text cited the Charter as the authoritative statement of the joint commitment of Great Britain and the U.S. "not to admit any economical discrimination of those defeated" and promised that "Germany and the other states can again achieve enduring peace and prosperity ." </P>
