At the invitation of the United States, four other countries (Britain, Japan, France, and Italy) attended the Washington disarmament conference (1921-22). Under the leadership of Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes, the participating world powers agreed to a number of treaties, and to limit their naval fleets. Robinson's cartoon, one of a series done while the conference was in session, comments on what he perceived as the limited success of the meetings.
