Can We Escape War With Japan Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Coming Conflict of Nations, or the Japanese-American War: A Narrative How far I have correctly interpreted the workings of these great general causes upon the English-speaking peoples of the world, I will leave the future to judge. The great war-drama that I have unfolded doubtless is, in many of its acts and stages, improbable and remote, but they are all certainly within the bounds of pos sibility. The war between Japan and the United States is only a very remote possibility, and likewise the war between Germany and Eng land. But who can tell! On the other hand, a confederation of the English-speaking peoples of the world is far less remote. It is, in fact surely, although very gradually, coming within the range of practical politics, owing to the inevitable workings of those general laws and causes already enun ciated. At present, it is too distant even to be entertained seriously; but any event, or any course of events, may, in a brief space of timc, appreciably lessen that distance; hence, the purpose of this narrative is to portray certain imaginary events (but events clearly within the range of possibilities), so as to bring about an immense shortening of this perspective, and thus by appealing to the imaginations of men to cause them to seriously consider the bound less and inestimable benefits that would accrue to mankind through this and succeeding ages by the confederation of the English-speaking peoples of the world.
