Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book American Diplomacy in the Orient Classic Reprint written by John W. Foster and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 524 pages. 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.

Download or read book The Obvious Orient Classic Reprint written by Albert Bushnell Hart and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 388 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modernizing of the Orient The East has at last met the West face to face. What has been the character of that meeting? What have been the results of the mingling of these two opposite and distinct sets of people with their antipodal points of view and methods? Is the East becoming West? What is happening? These have been the writer's questions upon two journeys around the world in which many unusual privileges have been afforded for first-hand contact with a large variety of institutions and native populations. It is hoped that what is here set forth may be the means of inducing clearer ideas and further study concerning those people who embrace more than one-half the population of the globe, and who, for obvious reasons, are now becoming the center of international, commercial and racial interests.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Child of the Orient On the morning of my fifth birthday, just as I awoke from sleep, my great-uncle came into my room, and, standing over my bed, said with a seriousness little befitting my age: - "To-day, despoinis, you are five years old. I wish you many happy returns of the day." He drew up a chair, and sat down by my bed. Carefully unfolding a piece of paper, he brought forth a small Greek flag. "Do you know what this is?" I nodded. "Do you know what it stands for?" Before I could think of an adequate reply, he leaned toward me and said earnestly, his fiery black eyes holding mine: - "It stands for the highest civilization the world has ever known. It stands for Greece, who has taught the world. Take it and make your prayers by it." I accepted it, and caressed it. Its silky texture pleased my touch.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in the Orient We feel that it has been a privilege before visiting other lands, to have again first traversed our own, getting a bird's-eye view for comparison with the foreign countries we shall visit. We left San Francisco bay at night, and by morning were crossing the trackless wastes of the Mojave desert. For one day we traversed the land of the coyote and the red man. "Lo, the poor Indian," is showing in many ways the effects of civilization; some of them have comfortable, square stone houses, with books, shaded lamps, lace curtains, etc. The men take care of the babies in some cases while the women go out into the market-place, - which is the railroad station, -to sell bead work and gaudy blankets to the tourists, so in some respects they have even gone a step in advance of the white men and the woman-suffragists. But the white people are beginning to realize the possibilities of this seemingly desert land, and occasionally we saw the shack of the hardy homeseeker. If our government would only spend on this productive land the money it will spend on dreadnoughts in the next ten years how many families would be given comfortable farms, and what an enormous asset would be added to the nation. Now we come to the prosperous states of Colorado and Kansas; the land of corn and wheat. Monotonous in their sameness arc the states of Missouri, Indiana, and Ohio. Then we came to the hills and finally mountains, and found ourselves in historic ground. Occasionally we saw the old hewn-log houses of the pioneers of our country, some of them still inhabited. In "Maryland, My Maryland," we crossed the river at Harper's Ferry, where "John Brown's body lies a mouldering in the grave." Soon we came to Washington, the city of a thousand interests to the patriotic American. We went to the Capitol and sat in the gallery of the House, listening to the debate of the wise men concerning Canadian reciprocity.

The design of this work is to ex tract the more pertinent and significant matters from the tremendous and complex movement of political and economic and sociological forces in the Orient, with intent to expose their directing and controlling elements and tendencies, and with especial attention to their application to America. The accounts of the revolution in China and its aftermath are of course but imperfect pictures of remarkable events volumes would be filled to describe them adequately.
