"The purpose of the Washington confecence à meeting of equals-is to reach a mutual agreement but the USA is handicapped by the arrangement already made by Japan and Great Britain, concerning China, the chief problem of the Pacific.

The prolongation of the Alliance only serves to irritate

public and official opinion in the US... merely humiliates China and adds nothing to the prestige of Great Britain in Asia. It cannot assist in establishing co-operative means for helping China cut of the present chaos, and it prevents the reconciliation of the diverging interests of Japan and
