London (JFK+50) On December 11, 1921, "the conclusion of the four-power Pacific agreement" was hailed here in London "as the beginning of a new era in international affairs."
Arthur Draper writes...
"High praise is given President (Warren G.) Harding and Secretary of State (Charles Evans) Hughes*...for the masterful way in which they brought the powers into agreement."
