When one attempts to set down [...] his impressions of a great gathering like the Conference on the Limitations of Armament, he will find himself swayed from amusement to irritation, from hope to despair, from an interest in the great end to an interest in the game as it is being played." -Ida Tarbell, The Peacemakers Peacemakers-Blessed and Otherwise (1922) by Ida Tarbell is a report on the Washington Naval conference held between 1921 and 1922 to discuss naval disarmament and ways to relieve growing tensions in East Asia. Reflecting concerns that followed World War I, it was intended to prevent the possibility of another war by bringing the leaders of the international community together. Tarbell, a well-known journalist and author, provided readers with a detailed description of the events at the conference as well as an insightful analysis of its value.
