Asian trade and Britain's war economy with an allied Japan

With Japan on the Allied side, the panel expects Britain to retain Asian resources lost or disrupted in the historical war. Malayan rubber and the sterling area's earnings are central to the argument. Australia and New Zealand would face less direct pressure and could provide more resources, while loans from the Dominions are considered easier to obtain. Even if France still fell, this version of Britain would enter the continuing war with fewer simultaneous demands on its economy.
