The United States and The Orient
Hepburn, A. Barton | March 28, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

There have been, for many years, certain influences at work tending to provoke hostility between the United States and the Orient and to prevent the establishment of entirely friendly relations. The fear that any legislation or treaty agreement permitting an influx of labor from the Orient would be detrimental to the interests of labor in the U.S. has inspired a continuing opposition on the part of labor to any measure leading towards increased friendliness of closer relations with the nations of the Far East. The self-interest of the U.S. prompt the cultivation of entirely friendly relations with the Orient because Orient offers a greater field for commercial activity and development than any other country in the world.
