Excerpt from Mr. Blaine and His Foreign Policy: An Examination of His Most Important Dispatches While Secretary of State
The Republican candidate for the Presidency has during the last twenty years played a leading part in the politics of this country. Yet, with one exception, he has held no position which was a test of his capacity for mastering the details of office and his ability not merely to debate, but to decide, questions which concern the national welfare. This exception, however, is an important one. During the Garfield administration Mr. Blaine was so conspicuous a Secretary of State that the English term "Premier" was imported and applied to him, because his seemed too dazzling an individuality to he reduced to the mediocrity of the rest of the Cabinet. Now, it is fair to assume that the methods of Mr. Blaine as President will not materially differ from the methods of Mr. Blaine as Secretary. At this time therefore, when so many are with seriousness and honesty weighing the arguments for and against him, an examination of these ten months of his official life, even if short and incomplete, must be full of useful lessons with regard to his fitness for the higher office which has been so long the object of his ambition.
The Spanish Claims Commission.
Mr. Blaine became Secretary of State in March, 1881, and he had been only a few weeks in office when his attention was attracted by the proceedings of the Spanish Claims Commission, which was then sitting. This Commission was composed of two arbitrators, who could name an umpire whenever they disagreed, and had been established pursuant to the agreement of 1871 with Spain for the settlement of claims of citizens of the United States for wrongs and injuries committed by the Spanish authorities during the Cuban Insurrection. It was specified in the agreement that "no judgment of a Spanish tribunal disallowing the affirmation of a party that he is a citizen of the United States, shall prevent the arbitrators from hearing a reclamation presented in behalf of said party by the United States Government."

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the political career of Republican candidate James G. Blaine, particularly his 20 years of service as Secretary of State under President Garfield, focusing on his lack of diplomacy and how it impacted his decision-making. The author cites instances such as the Spanish Claims Commission, his handling of conflicts between Mexico and Guatemala, and his circular to European powers regarding the Panama Canal, to illustrate how Blaine's impulsive style often led to conflict and misunderstandings. The author argues that despite Blaine's attempts to appear as a champion of American interests abroad, his actions ultimately hindered U.S. foreign policy goals. This book provides a thorough analysis of Blaine's diplomatic failures and how they shaped American foreign relations. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
