Book excerpt: Excerpt from America in the Orient There is a class in this Republic more British than American, whose chief object is to direct the foreign policy of the United States in England's interest, no matter what the result may be to the Republic. This class, small but noisy, has its press agents and its after dinner advocates, but the average American knows how small is its real influence when weighed in the balance of public opinion and how futile must necessarily be its efforts. During the last four years it was particularly in evidence, disseminating the falsehood that Great Britain stood between us and the Continental Powers during the Spanish War. The persistent and systematic circulation of this lie was so general as to affect the judgment of many honest and patriotic Americans, who forthwith joined the troop of Anglomen, whose voice made the welkin ring with the story of our obligations to Mr. Chamberlain's ministry. France, Russia and Germany endured in silence for four years this impeachment of their good faith, and Lord Pauncefote strutted around Washington in the guise of our protector and saviour, while our State Department practically abdicated its functions and became the echo of the British Foreign Office. A change, however, has come over the scene; although Hay still holds the State portfolio, an American sits in the chair at Washington. The Secretary of State, whether justly or unjustly, it is not for me to say, is regarded as the exponent and defender of British policies in this country. It has been alleged by many eminent public men that if he were to change places with Lord Pauncefote he could not be more careful and vigilant in looking out for the interests of the British Empire. Since the commencement of the South African War all negotiations have been conducted with one view by our State Department, and that to cause the least offence to the Chamberlain ministry, no matter how our interests in Alaska or elsewhere might suffer. Great Britain must not be embarrassed has been the governing and paramount rule in our diplomatic affairs since the induction of the Hon. John Hay. As the result of such a programme, humiliating as the confession is, this great nation has become an acquiescing partner in the spoliation and destruction of two small republics. History does not record a more shameful episode in our annals, and the judgment of posterity will, with unerring fidelity, place the brand of shame on Columbia's brow for our conduct in this infamous South African War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Diplomacy in the Orient Although there is a vast amount of literature on Asiatic subjects, there exists a recognized need of a work covering the topics embraced in the present volume. The great development of the industrial resources of the country, the necessity of larger markets in Asia, and the recently acquired territorial possessions in the Pacific Ocean, have given new interest and importance to the international relations of the United States with the Far East. Under these conditions, it seemed desirable to have in consecutive order a brief history of the diplomatic intercourse of this government with the Orient, in order to form a correct estimate of the policy which has controlled the American people in their contact with the countries in that quarter of the globe. The author has the more cheerfully undertaken the task from a conviction that a narrative of that intercourse would reflect great credit upon his country, and in the hope that it might stimulate the patriotism of its citizens, and lead them to a more ready support of their government in the discharge of its difficult and enlarged responsibilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Obvious Orient The world abounds in sketchy books upon the East, and the title chosen for this volume is the writer's admission that no one can learn all that there is in the most ancient and inscrutable of the continents in an eight months' experience. On the other hand, the Orient is so unlike the western world that it still has the stimulating effect of novelty and variety. It is astonishing how the books that one reads beforehand on the East fail to include the things which instantly come before the eyes the moment one lands in Asia; even the hasty traveller's record, therefore, adds something to the knowledge of the bewildering and picturesque detail of Oriental life. For this study of the East I have had some advantages in the way of previous investigation and reflection, and the friendship of former students and others now settled in the Orient. Americans in that part of the world never lose their nationality, and the travelling American finds himself welcomed to a partnership in their experiences.

We have seen with the eye, we have heard with the ear; therefore we speak through the pen of the awful desolation of these darkened lives - of the work that is now being done in their behalf, of the great need which exists of more help, more consecrated lives. Now the cry comes to us, laden with the sorrows of thousands, the suffering of years: "Come over into Macedonia and help us."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Asia, Vol. 20: The American Magazine on the Orient; June 1920 After the abolition in 1868 of the Shogunate, the govern ment by military usurpers who had held-the reins since the twelfth century, events in Japan took a steady trend toward democracy, and this to the growing disquietude of the conservative central government of the so-called Restoration. The ruling bureaucracy insisted that before the introduction of too drastic reforms the people must be more fitted to such a new regime. Between 1875 and 1883 political parties made their appearance, and the growing popular ferment clamored with new vehemence for some form of representative government. The con servative party saw the danger of an unbending opposi tion to the tide of liberalism, and the promulgation of the Imperial Rescript of 1881, promising a constitution in ten years, was a significant concession to the restive times.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from America: Through the Spectacles of an Oriental Diplomat OF all nations in the world, America is the most interesting to the Chinese. A handful of people left England to explore this country gradually their number increased, and, in course of time, emigrants from other lands swelled the population. They were governed by officials from the home of the first settlers, but When it appeared to them that they were being treated unjustly, they rebelled and declared war against their rulers, the strongest nation on the face of the earth. After seven years of strenuous, perilous, and bloody war fare, during Which thousands of lives Were sacrificed on both sides, the younger race shook off the yoke of the older, and England was compelled to recognize the independence of the American States. Since then, in the comparatively short space of one hundred and thirty years, those revolutionists and their descendants, have not only made the common wealth the richest in the world, but have founded a nation Whose word now carries weight With all the other great powers.
