Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from England´s Strength in Asia It seems to me not altogether inappropriate that we should conclude the session of this Society with something of a general review of England´s position as an Asiatic Power, and the possibility of any serious modification or change in that position which may be brought about by the march of those great events which are making history in the Far East. It is our endeavour that here, at least, should be recorded from time to time the opinions of those who have had the best and widest opportunities for observing the passing changes of Asiatic politics, absolutely independent of their local position in any Parliamentary arena, only giving at first-hand impressions and opinions which have been gathered, as far as possible, straight from free Asiatic fields. We are nothing here if not original observers, and it is just that quality of originality which gives this society such value as it possesses. I will not, therefore, apologize for offering you a few opinions, crude and imperfect though they may be, which can at least claim the merit of being based on personal observation. I have always held the belief that England´s strength in Asia is greater than that which the majority of Englishmen are disposed to admit, if we are to judge by Parliamentary utterances and military warnings. The general tendency is undoubtedly to depreciate our strength and the value of our local geographical position.
