The US values tenacious efforts of diplomatic negotiation, while Japan does not?

The US failed to learn the lessons of Gen. Togo too, who insisted on the tenacious diplomatic negotiation to avoid wars, regarding it as the last resort.

Roosevelt rejected such Japanese diplomatic efforts.

Japan offered the following compromise proposals to the US.

1. Upon the realization of peace treaty with China, Japan will pull out the army deployed in China within 2 years.

2. Upon the settlement of Shino-Japanese war, it will pull out the soldiers that stayed in French Indochina.

3. If the indiscriminate commercial status (free trade)is applied to the world, Japan will admit it is even to the whole area of the Pacific Ocean and China.

In case the negotiation with the US failed despite those proposals, Japan would offer the following as tentative draft agreements for preventing the situation from getting the worst:

1. Japan will pull the army out from the South French Indochina on the condition that the US ensures Japanese acquirement of raw materials in Dutch Indonesia, its cancellation of the measure of freezing the Japanese assets in the US, and its promise to provide Japan with oil.

2. Upon the settlement of the Shina Incident, Japan will pull the army out from the whole territories of French Indochina.

However, despite those diplomatic efforts on the side of Japan, the US presented Hull Note that stipulated the following.

1. Unconditional retreat from China and French Indochina.

2. Reject of any and every govt and administration except the Chiang Kai-shek govt, including the Nanjing National Govt backed up by Japan.

3. Cancellation of the Tripartite Pact of Japan, Germany, and Italy.

The Note did not refer to the cancellation of economic sanctions in its any parts.

Was that an attitude of a country that values tenacious diplomatic efforts?

Regarding the treatment of POW, check what the US army did to the 1.5 million Germans who had to live outside without any shelters

See the movie "Band of Brothers", which will show you that the US soldiers did not take POW and instantly killed them on the site.
