Japan co-operated in the peace machinery of the League of Nations, she supported the International Labor Office and the World Court, and she participated with a fine spirit of sportsmanship in the Washington Conference of 1921, the London Naval Conference of 1930, and the Preparatory Commission of the Disarmament Conference of 1926-30.
