About This Item
1890. Very good overall. One page report, initially published in the New York Tribune, supporting the return, or cessation, of the indemnities being paid by Japan: "the return of this indemnity would be highly honorable to the United States and advantageous to both countries. The Japanese people justly regard their indemnity as an extortion. ... No nation ever more needed or merited the sympathy and encouragement of the world than Japan in the present crisis of her affairs." Japan's infrastructure improvements and moral & intellectual advancement are cited. The indemnities were payments forced upon the two nations in so-called unequal treaties, which were imposed by western nations during the 19th and early 20th centuries, on Qing Dynasty China and late Tokugawa Japan. They established reparations payable following military defeat by western nations. Short split to outer edge of horizontal fold, o/w very good. 6 x 10"
