Notes:
- the "first SALT talks" for disarmament
- C.E. Hughes Nov. 12" : the way to disarm is to disarm"
- 4-part naval plan of hughes: 5-3-1.67 parity
- 9 Power Treaty to guarantee Open Door and indep. of China
- 4 Power Treaty to respect Pacific possessions
- But treaties and agreements lack enforcement
Summary: Many countries agreed on this, but were not enforced due to lack of power.
Subjective question: What would be the result if it was more enforced.
