Excerpt from Asia's American Problem: A Diffident Discussion of the Project Sometimes Called the New International Chinese Consortium, and of Certain Other Combustible Matters Pertaining Thereto

Since Asia has long possessed by inheritance the three comparatively static prerequisites for the Revolu tion - wealth, labour and markets - and is now accept ing, under pressure of economic necessity, the first of the new dynamic factors, it may be said that all the ma terial conditions for the Revolution are already present. Thus, the Orient is being swept into a movement, the character and results of which seem to depend almost entirely upon the quality of Asia's non-material impor tations from Europe, and upon the extent to which Asiatic and European influences operate to modify in Asia the spirit which tolerated all the horrors of the earlier stages of the Industrial Revolution in the West.
