No reference was made in article XIX to the former German islands in the Pacific which were assigned to Japan under a League of Nations mandate in 1920. Elimination of the naval rivalry. together with the settlement of far eastern political questions through the signing of the Washington Armament Limitation Treaty and the Nine Power Treaty. brought an end to the Japanese war scare in the United States. Except for an incident concerning immigration in 1924. the relations between our Nation and Japan were on a friendly basis until Japan began her offensive on the mainland of Asia in 1931. Her action was in disregard of the Nine Power Treaty and upset the balance in Pacific affairs that had been obtained. The failure subsequently to renew the naval treaty restored the old situation existing before the Washington Conference.
