that Washington treaty "status quo" should be preserved in the Pacific. To that end America and Japan established a 6-3 ratio in navics-estimated to give them equality in a battle in Far Eastern waters where Japan would have the advantage of being nearer its bases of supplies and agreed under Article 19 of the pact not to fortify their possessions further.

This edifice of peace in the orient began to crumble in 1031 when Man- Japanese armies swept into churia. It was carried further when the victorious Japanese laid down restrictions on the trade of foreign powers in what had been 'China. It disintegrated still further when the Japanese announced their dissatis faction with the naval radio and withdrew from the London conference. Meanwhile, the United States ap- peared to be moving back from the Pacifle arena when it granted in- dependence to the Philippine islande, long its principal base of operations in the orfent.
