It was under this treaty that the United States, England ! nnd Japan scrapped millions of dollars worth of warships and agreed to build no more battleships. In this treaty England I ,for,tlyg first time admitted another nation to naval parity! Through the treaty, Japan aiid the United States wercj brought into more, cordial relations than ever before. j v In 1931 the treaty expires, and another conference of the; nations involved must be called to renew it or find a new one to replace it. That conference may well lx one of the most ! important events of Mr. Hoover's regime if not the most important. . , Probably most of us do not realize how far-reaching and beneficent in its effects the original Washington conferenca! was. It choked off a naval race of extremely serious proKir-1 tions; Japan, England and the United States were vying to' see which could assemble the greatest fleet of battleships and battle crufse.rs. and such a race inevitably would have had serious consequences sooner or later. j In addition, European diplomats hold that the conference averted a war between the Uinted States and Japan. The United States Was then on the verge of building great forti-i fixations at Manila, but in the treaty agreed not to do soj Well informed observers say that Japan would have declared war the moment such fortifications were lxgun. J Despite the recent flurry about cruisers, the years since! me Washington conference have been years of good feeling. and the one conimUuifoner: they voted unanimously for II.
