Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from America and the Far Eastern Question: An Examination of Modern Phases of the Far Eastern Question, Including, the New Activities and Policy of Japan, the Situation of China, and the Relation of the United States of America to the Problems Involved Since the publication in March, 1906, of The New Far East, I have again twice visited the regions included in the scope of the Far Eastern Question, and have further observed and studied conditions there. The present work takes up the situation where my previous book quitted it; brings it forward, extends its prospect, and criticizes some results which have become apparent. I have avoided extensive use of statistics, and when any views and conclusions are based upon them I have exercised my own judgment in accepting or rejecting figures presented by governments and individuals. In the East, in perhaps a greater degree than elsewhere, statistics often are prepared to sustain an hypothesis. This is especially true, at the present time, of some statistics which relate to the economic and fiscal situation of Japan. I expect that some persons will profess to find in this, as many did of my previous work, an anti-Japanese preachment. This it is not, in the sense that a desire to injure Japan is among its objects. I wish the Japanese nation and people success in aspirations which do not tend to cause international dissension and strife by impairing interests of other nations. That the present policy of Japan has this tendency is a conclusion I have reached after closely observing its trend for several years, and from studying its practical effects in localities where it is directly applied. Having formed this opinion, I express it without hesitation, and endeavor to present facts and conditions upon which it is founded.
