Download or read book Syria From the Saddle Classic Reprint written by Albert Payson Terhune and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Syria From the Saddle In December, 1893, foreign consuls throughout Asia Minor were directed officially to enforce a decree order ing the expulsion from the Sultan's domains, within ten days, of all who, once Turkish subjects, had become naturalized citizens of other countries. English and American residents in Jerusalem, Beirut, Damascus, and other Syrian towns, at once took alarm and predicted serious trouble in Armenia. It was said; once and again, in my careless hearing, that the imperial man date could mean but one thing it was aimed directly at Armenian Christians. The Turkish government hoped to avoid complications with Christian nations by ridding the land of those who, in the event of a move ment against the doomed race, would be, nominally at least, under the protection of foreign flags. The order was not a despotic caprice, but the pro logue to the bloodiest tragedy that has been enacted within five centuries. Calling to mind what has hap pened since the ominous decree, it seems incredible that neither England nor the United States protested against, or so much as instituted formal inquiry into the meaning of, an act that was clearly either arbitrary in cruelty, or else a useless display of authority. It is of course too late to speculate as to what would have been the result of such prompt and humane action. Yet, with the facts in the case before them, the sadly enlightened public will murmur, and the private Chris tian citizen will draw his own conclusions.

Download or read book Cotton in Five Eurasian Countries Classic Reprint written by William Edwin Christian Jr and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cotton in Five Eurasian Countries It is apparent that cotton has' very strong competitive staying power in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Although the economic reasons for this strong position may vary from country to country, a basic underlying factor is that cotton can be produced and marketed on a volume basis with little risk of quality deterioration as it moves through international marketing channels. Every country has some food and specialty cr0ps that may give higher economic returns to a limited quantity of the resources em ployed in their production. However, limited local demand, seasonality of production, and especially the lack of rapid transportation and modern refrigeration equipment set an upper limit on the volume that can be marketed efficiently at prices returning more to producers than cotton prices do. For this reason, in the competition for existing produc tive resources as well as for new resources that might be brought into agricultural pro duction, the broad impact takes place between cotton and the small grains-either food or feed. Throughout this general area of the world, cotton at 1956 cost-price relationships has been on the average from one and one-half to three times as profitable as the small grains in the irrigated areas. In the rain-fed areas, cotton's relative profitableness vis-a-vis the small grains narrows to the point where the quantity of rainfall is so small and its distribution so unpredictable that cotton production is not practical because of physical limitations. The small grains, however, can be grown during the winter and Spring, When rainfall is highest. Thus they represent the most economic use of the land and labor resources within an individual country, even though the absolute return is very small. This survey of cotton production pointed up the importance of price to the production response of producers. Even with the decline of 20 to 25 percent in world cotton prices from the 1955-56 season to the 1956-57 one, countries such as Pakistan and India and Syria continued to tax raw cotton exports. Despite these export taxes, cotton maintained its competitive advantage over alternative crops in those areas where it has been a traditional cr0p. No country made a marked cutback in acreage during the 1956-57 sea son in anticipation of lower cotton prices. To generalize, it is apparent that the down ward adjustment in world cotton prices from 1955-56 season prices did not cause a significant shift of resources from cotton to other crops. Even further downward adjust ments from the 1956-57 season prices would have only a minor influence, unless they involved a considerable downward trend in cotton prices relative to the prices of other creps-at least 25 to 30 percent from 1956-57 price relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. When Nafir Suriyya—“The Clarion of Syria”—was penned between September 1860 and April 1861, its author Butrus al-Bustani, a major figure in the modern Arabic Renaissance, had witnessed his homeland undergo unprecedented violence in what many today consider Lebanon’s first civil war. Written during Ottoman and European investigations into the causes and culprits of the atrocities, The Clarion of Syria is both a commentary on the politics of state intervention and social upheaval, and a set of visions for the future of Syrian society in the wake of conflict. This translation makes a key historical document accessible for the first time to an English audience. An introduction by the translators sketches the history that led up to the civil strife in Mt. Lebanon, outlines a brief biography of Butrus al-Bustani, and provides an authoritative overview of the literary style and historiography of Nafir Suriyya. Rereading these pamphlets in the context of today’s political violence, in war-torn Syria and elsewhere in the Arab world, helps us gain a critical and historical perspective on sectarianism, foreign invasions, conflict resolution, Western interventionism, and nationalist tropes of reconciliation.
