INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

January found the great powers
etiIl engaged in formulating treaties
and agreements in the Washington
conference on armaments and Pacific
ocean problems, and on February
the delegates. In plenary session,
adopted the five-power naval limita-
ton treaty with an agreement on "a
cific fortifications: passed resotutions
declaring the open door in China and
approved a treaty for the restriction
CT the use Of poison gas and sutna-
rines in warfare. At the same time
efr. Balfour announced that GTeat a
to China. Three days later the con-
ference approved a number of trea-
ties designed to restore to China some
of her lost liberties and passed res
olution for the creation OF an inter.
national commission to revise the
rules of warfare. On February 6 the
delegates signed all the treaties and
the conference adjourned sine die.
and in four days President Harding

terence pacts. and, like the United

ample was followed by several small.
cr nations Thus the full enect OF
some of the treaties was lost for the

Reha bilitation Of Europe, economic
and financial was the great problem
that confronted the world and. or
course, it's solution depended to con-
siderable extent on a settlement OF the
German reparations matter. This had
not been reached when the year came
70 a close. The allied commission. an
international bankers committee and
various individuals struggled with the
question throughout the twelve
months, but it would be tedious to tell
IN detail of their efforts. The Ger
mans steadily maintained that COM
-,lete enforcement of the treaty Of
Versailles would ruin Germany and
be disastrous for the rest of Europe.
although DR.. Wirth. the chancellor.
held that Germany must and would
