stration probably will Ijc one which is entirely overlooked lv tinec-m
treaty for limitation of naval armaments, signed at Wash
ington in 1921. .
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.
