Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Treaties and Resolutions of the Conference on the Limitation of Armament: As Ratified by the United States Senate Facts and Tables The Conference on the Limitation of Armament met at Washington November 11, 1921, and agreed upon a series of six treaties and twelve resolutions which are destined to effect great changes in economic conditions throughout the world. The work of the Conference was ratified by the United States Senate during the month of March, 1922. Two reservations were adopted. They are printed in the following pages with the full text of the several agreements. In their report on the Conference, the delegates of the United States included the following interpretative summary of its results: General Summary: To estimate correctly the character and value of these several treaties, resolutions and formal declarations they should be considered as a whole. Each one contributes its part in combination with the others towards the establishment of conditions in which peaceful security will take the place of competitive preparation for war. The declared object was, in its naval aspect, to stop the race of competitive building of warships which was in process and which was so distressingly like the competition that immediately preceded the war of 1914. Competitive armament, however, is the result of a state of mind in which a national expectation of attack by some other country causes preparation to meet the attack. To stop competition it is necessary to deal with the state of mind from which it results. A belief in the pacific intentions of other powers must be substituted for suspicion and apprehension. The negotiations which led to the Four Power Treaty were the process of attaining that new state of mind, and the Four Power Treaty itself was the expression of that new state of mind.
