Book excerpt: Excerpt from China's Place in the Sun It was the writer's privilege to travel extensively throughout China during the months following the Peace Conference when these developments were in the beginning and to observe something of their scope and significance. In the present volume we have endeavored to review the history of these movements and to relate them, in so far as is possible to the longer, more gradual growth of the Chinese national consciousness, of which they are the most recent and probably the most significant indica tion. We have sought, further, to point out that in the international struggle for foreign markets in which we have been obliged to participate the United States is destined to be drawn into increasing commercial contact with China. This fact, considered in the light of China's increasing fitness to claim her place in the sun, raises an issue of the utmost concern to the United States. Mr. B. Putnam Weale writes: The Chinese question is the world question of the twentieth century. Of all nations America is most vitally concerned with what takes place in China. To be indifferent to the present situation or to the possibilities, for good or ill, involved in it is to ignore the chief power with which the states manship of 2021 will be concerned.
