Helmerich Independent Oilman 1980; with E. Strong American Foreign and National Security Policies 1914-1945 1987. From a review by Walter V. Scholes published in the Indiana Magazine of History: In this book based upon extensive research in American British and Canadian archives Professor Buckley has emphasized the three major agreements resulting from the Washington Conference of 1921- 1922: the Four Power Treaty the Five Power Treaty and the Nine Power Treaty. In developing his account Buckley includes the essential background information needed to understand the conference. He describes for example the anti-Japanese feeling prevalent in the Department of State and analyzes the American desire to break up the Anglo-Japanese Alliance and replace it with a new naval arrangement in the Pacific. Buckley is very good in showing how the conference actually operated. He analyzes the consultations and the compromises by Great Britain Japan and the United States that finally led to the three most important treaties showing how the powers’ diplomatic strategic and economic positions affected their moves in the bargaining. Furthermore his presentation of the technical aspects of the conference is so lucid that a layman would have no difficulty in grasping what went on. Buckley believes that Secretary of Stab Charles Evans Hughes approached the negotiations realistically; he went into the meetings with limited goals and in the main achieved them. Having objectively assessed the national interests of the United States Hughes took an important step toward a new Asian policy designed to defend those interests and thereby gave the United States an opportunity to improve its position in the Far East. If later administrations failed to follow up his policy one cannot fault the secretary. This reviewer feels that on the whole Buckley has presented a convincing case.
