The New Pacific British Policy and German Aims (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The New Pacific British Policy and German Aims<br><br>It is reasonable that the position In the Pacific should be discussed, now that German possessions there for some time have been successfully administered by Australasian officials. International law and the terms of capitulation no doubt have been controlling factors; but the people of Australia and New Zealand look upon the German New Guinea Protectorate and German Samoa with very different eyes to-day from what they did in the beginning of 1914. Their representatives hold these possessions for the Allies, but they have begun to think of them now as British. It is impossible to discuss a Pacific thrown back into the old conditions. It is a new Pacific.<br><br>But this book is more history than fore cast or appeal; and the reader is offered an Australasian view of British policy rather than an indication of future proposals or demands.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
