Excerpt from America's Foreign Policy: Essays and Addresses
How this change was to come, no man could anticipate. That we, as a people, are nearer to its realization to-day than ever before, is a fact which stares us in the face.
One important step in the new program, call it colonialism or imperialism or what you will, has been taken in the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands. And the motive for it largely was their strategical impor tance and their convenience as a stepping stone to the Philippines.
The terms of peace to be agreed upon with Spain will go far to decide our future des tiny. A wonderful chance Of aggrandize ment seems to be within our grasp. Shall we seize it? Ought we to resist it? Is it consistent with our true mission, with our highest development?

Excerpt from America's Foreign Policy: Essays and Addresses
The essays and addresses gathered in this little Volume, with few exceptions, have been called out by public events during the past four years. For the courtesy of a permission to reprint certain of them, I return sincere thanks to the publications where they first appeared. They were adapted for special occasions, or to meet special questions, and differ much in style and form on this account. Nor has pains been taken to remove from them the references to time which they contain. Nevertheless, it is hoped that they have a certain unity and present value in a discussion of the foreign policy of the United States.
For some years our national government has seemed to me to be on the eve of an important change of policy in its aims and ideals. It has shown an ever-growing disposition to break away from our early habit of political isolation, and to assert itself in the rivalries of the world's politics.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolving foreign policy of the United States. Covering the period between 1895 and 1898, the author argues that the US's historical isolationist policy was being replaced by a more active influence in the international diplomatic landscape. Drawing examples from Hawaii, Cuba, and the Spanish-American War, the book analyzes speeches and writings of the era, demonstrating that US foreign policy had abandoned the previous conservative approach for a new, more progressive stance. These essays, relevant to current events such as the controversy surrounding US intervention in the Spanish-American war, explore domestic and international implications of this shift in policy. They examine how changed diplomatic tactics would have vast effects on the shape of the nation's future, as well as its economic, cultural, and political development.
