Why mutual cheating discouraged formal accusations

Without a treaty court, enforcement depends on what the signatories are willing to challenge. The account of an overweight Italian cruiser in a British dry dock pairs British silence with foreign awareness of Royal Navy armour stocks. Japanese acceptance of the Lexington conversions is likewise linked to questionable features of Akagi and Kaga. A formal accusation would expose the accuser's own practices. Extending that reciprocal vulnerability to every loophole is the proposed reason all-out evasion could continue without formal complaints.
