Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from America in the Orient
Russia is not and never has been our enemy, while the interests of both require that we should be friends. Commercially, Japan is bound in the nature of things to be our greatest rival in the Eastern markets so soon as her industries and mercantile marine are more fully developed; and we must ever bear in mind that the Japanese can never forgive us for having sup planted them in the Philippines, the heritage they coveted whenever those islands should fall from the feeble grasp of Spain.
