152 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. i (1930)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0152 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD CHINA is a land that is old in years and wealthy in her own right, both in man power and in natural resources. In reality a giant among the nations, she is at present weak from internal complications. New wine is being poured into the old bottles of the Celestial Kingdom, where a protracted struggle goes on be- tween youth and age, between conservative tradition and the actualities of the present-day world. In their effort at national readjustment these millions of Chinese have been seeking friends, only to find them too frequently enemies in disguise. The advice of supposedly competent physicians has been decidedly conflicting and practically useless. An operation here, a blood-letting there, has served merely to reduce the size of the country, benefiting the patient not at all and failing to satisfy the rapacious greed of the surgical corps who were anxious to see the patient die but could not decide among themselves as to the best method of dis- patching the victim. In spite of all, China is recovering. She is beginning to realize her strength. Sooner or later she will completely snap her bonds and bring her tormentors to account. Help she needs, indeed, but not that of friendly enemies. A genuinely friendly China awakened would be of the greatest benefit to all the world, for her natural resources, art treasures, literature, and philosophy cannot be other than of untold value. She has much to give in return for whatever service may be done her. Lack of understanding, of harmonious cooperation, and of mutual respect is the result of ignorance. The stranger is always the enemy. It is the purpose of this volume of The Annals to bring to notice certain essential facts and figures that may be helpful to a better understanding of this age-old people which in the past has stood at the forefront of the nations of the world and may do so again. Only on a basis of thorough knowledge can we participate in that renais- sance which will bring a greater enrichment and a finer wisdom to the world. HENRY F. JAMES
