Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commerce and the Empire After working many years for Free Trade in Australia I feel emboldened to make an effort in the wider field of the Empire. The time has arrived when, in my judgment, Free Traders in all the self-governing Colonies should make an effort to bring their respective parts of the Empire into line with British fiscal policy. The task is by no means so difficult as some people think; race sympathy is making it easier every year; and the very need of revenue makes the task less instead of more difficult, since it is easier to obtain revenue without than it is with restriction. The necessity of dealing with the preferential phase of the subject has caused me to hurry the publishing, and consequently the book is less complete in many respects than I intended. The controversy with regard to preferential duties will have one good result: it will lead to a better general knowledge of the whole subject, and will, therefore, pave the way for the Self-Governing Colonies, one after another, to raise the Free Trade flag. A British Free Trade Empire is a noble object for which to fight. During a period of about nine months, in 1900-1901, immediately preceding the first Federal Election in the Australian Commonwealth, I published a weekly paper, under the title of Our Country, dealing solely with the fiscal controversy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commerce and the Empire 1914 and After IT may be asked why is this book published in war-time I reply that the question is a very natural one, and that whilst so many of the cream of our young manhood, together with the hopes and dreams and happiness of tens of millions, are being swept down the ghastly stream of a veritable Niagara of blood, and whilst civilization and freedom gasp for breath, questions affecting buying and selling might well have been put aside - as they were-and kept aside - as they have not been.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Commercial Code for the German Empire The great advance made by the German Empire in the trade of the world during the last few years seems some reason for offering to such Englishmen as possess no knowledge of the German language, a translation of the Code by which that trade is regulated, and to whose rules and enactments it is subject. It is to the fact of our possessing the greatest share in the world's trade that we, rightly or wrongly, ascribe our important position in it. For this reason alone the Commercial Code of any nation possessing one is of interest to us, more especially of one which, like the German Empire, is among our keenest rivals in the field of commerce, and is becoming every day more and more a manufacturing country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Empire and Trade This book is the final result of some ten years of study, research, and collection of materials in a very wide field. I regret that time and Space forbade me reaching the Napoleonic efforts to recover India for France by way of Egypt, a passage of history illuminating present conditions in the East. I gratefully acknowledge the permission granted by Lady Butler to insert the striking account of a simoon from Sir William Butler's Autobiography, and by Mr. B. H. Tawney to use the passages on the social in uence of the Christian Church from his Acquisitive Society. A subject such as this, for which the authorities both original and secondary are very numerous, leaves me also with a deep sense of obligation to very many writers of the past both for preservation of facts and for commentary. In the course of collection of my materials I may have lost or mislaid some of my references; but I have referred as far as possible to works likely to be at the service of the general reader. The series of maps by Mr. H. W. Cribb, which illustrate the events told, are accompanied by a special atlas index intended to obviate the need for consulting an outside atlas.

Download or read book The Northward Course of Empire Classic Reprint written by Vilhjalmur Stefansson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Northward Course of Empire The idea of this book is doubtless old, though it came to me only about 1912. Perhaps it was old to the Medes and Persians. It may even have been an ancient revamping of it that led Solomon to remark that there is nothing new under the sun. In another sense the idea is so new that the history of it can be given briefly. The winter of 1918-1919 representatives of chambers of commerce of various European countries were touring the United States. A dinner was given them in New York and at this I was called upon to make a five-minute talk. One of the sponsors of the dinner was Dr. Albert Shaw, the editor of the Review of Reviews. He said to me that the idea of my talk was new. When I reminded him of Solomon's well-known saying, he replied that at any rate it was new enough to make a suitable article for his magazine. He asked me to write the article and I said I would. Ideas, like many other things, have a tendency to expand, and in the writing my theme grew beyond the limits of the Review of Reviews, for they seldom print an article of more than twenty-five hundred words and I found I had ten thousand.

Download or read book The Path of Empire Classic Reprint written by George Lynch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Path of Empire The peopling of Siberia will be done otherwise. At present there is an annual surplus in the Russian birth rate Of I, 61 3, 000. The population of Russia doubles In sixty years, so that about the middle of this century there will be more Russians on the earth than at the time of the last census in 1897. There is much Similarity to the Russian plan Of peaceful campaign, in the motives which have prompted the Japanese to build the railway from Fusan to Seoul, and much of the same results that it has effected, may be seen being effected there. The railway lines which are opening up China are no less interesting. I would be the last to advocate a policy of territorial aggression in the East - we want to do business there, not to acquire terri tory, or to have the burden Of government upon us. It is in the direction of Opening up the country to trade that all Our efforts should be concentrated, and the work of our diplomatists ought to be directed more than they are, to furthering our commercial interests. If China were con vinced that the Powers wanted no more territory, she would be the more inclined to open her doors for trade. With regard to the three provinces of China, comprising Manchuria, which Russia has now practically annexed, if it is not now too late, the strongest diplomatic pressure, ought to be brought to bear to insist on this immense and rich territory, the importance Of whose resources we do not fully realise, being thrown Open to the trade of the world. When Russia is being allowed to break her solemn promise to evacuate it, such a condition is the least compensation that might be looked for.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Commerce The year 1914 marks one of the great turning points in history. I have accordingly revised the part Of this book covering the recent'period to close the narrative at that date, and have added another part, covering the history Of commerce in the war and in the two or three years Of peace immediately following. The commerce Of the great nations of the world has departed since 1914 far from its accustomed paths and forms. In my attempt to make intelligible the commercial changes Of the time I have had to take account Of matters in public finance, currency and foreign exchange which are usually treated apart from the history Of international trade. I have thought it better, by touching on these outside subjects, to show the reasons for the course which commerce has followed, rather than to omit the reasons because they are hard for the student Of the history of commerce to understand.
