we feel that we have accomplished Q
long step on this road to peace. BY this

will be completely ended between the
navies OF the three greatest naval pow.
ers OF the world-America, Britain and
Japan; and with the other two powers
France and Italy-we have also reached
agreements which though not complete,
are leading IN the same direction.

be abolished between all five powers.

fairness and goodwill from all the other

nopeful results OF our meeting. Naval

process, and we feel that the conference
which we have just left will lead to
rurtner progress along the same road.
