Problems of the Pacific

Description

The Pacific is the ocean of the future. As civilisation grows and distances
dwindle, man demands a larger and yet larger stage for the fighting-out of
the ambitions of races. The Mediterranean sufficed for the settlement of the
issues between the Turks and the Christians, between the Romans and the
Carthaginians, between the Greeks and the Persians, and who knows what
other remote and unrecorded struggles of the older peoples of its littoral.
Then the world became too great to be kept in by the Pillars of Hercules,
and Fleets—in the service alike of peace and war—ranged over the
Atlantic. The Mediterranean lost its paramount importance, and
dominance of the Atlantic became the test of world supremacy.
Now greater issues and greater peoples demand an even greater stage. On
the bosom of the Pacific will be decided, in peace or in war, the next great
struggle of civilisation, which will give as its prize the supremacy of the
world. Shall it go to the White Race or the Yellow Race? If to the White
Race, will it be under the British Flag, or the flag of the United States, or of
some other nation? That is the problem of the Pacific.
