About this Item

Print on Demand. This book examines the emergence of a new era marked by unprecedented global interconnectedness, wherein previously isolated races and civilizations now face one another. The author, an experienced missionary and educator in Japan, highlights the drastic transformation Japan underwent upon its forced opening to the West in the mid-19th century and its subsequent rise as a formidable power following its victory over Russia in 1905. This book explores the concept of "The White Peril" - the fear and hostility from Western powers as non-white nations began to assert themselves on the global stage. The author emphasizes the importance of moving beyond racial bias and exclusionary policies, advocating for a path of mutual respect and collaboration between East and West. By shedding light on the historical and cultural contexts that have shaped global dynamics, this book challenges readers to rethink prevailing assumptions about race and international relations, emphasizing the necessity of fostering friendship and understanding across cultural divides to ensure a peaceful and prosperous future. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Synopsis

Two Addresses presents a clear, urgent look at America’s immigration debate and East‑West relations.

It gathers a pair of lectures that examine race, assimilation, and policy in a practical, measured way.

This edition lays out the stakes behind proposed immigration reforms and a more inclusive approach to Asian nations. It explains how fact‑based policy can reduce prejudice, while outlining steps for national action that balance fairness with national interests.

• Key arguments for treating all races as equals in policy while maintaining a careful limit on immigration.
• A practical framework for assimilation, including the role of naturalized citizens and English education.
• Ideas for a national approach to race, intermarriage, and education that aims to reduce bias.
• A discussion of the American and Japanese perspectives during a pivotal era in Asia–America relations.

Ideal for readers of history, public policy, and social issues who want a balanced, policy‑focused take on immigration and international relations.
