Safeguarding clause upheld as U S tradition in London pact
Senator Robinson affirmed the safeguarding clause of the three power London treaty born from the naval talks in London. The pact allows any signatory to notify the others of needed naval builds and enables proportionate increases by the other two powers if construction is deemed to threaten naval positions. The agreement aims to curb arms and guide seas until the 1935 disarmament conference.
