Summary of the condition of U.S. trade failure in the Pacific field

Harold Bolce uses government statistics to show that the United States is not succeeding in foreign markets, contrary to popular belief. The United States’ “portentous defeat commercially in South America, Oceania and Asia” is detailed. Bolce argues that the U.S. has not managed to dominate markets on the Atlantic side of South America; therefore, he does not agree that the Panama Canal will guarantee trade success in Pacific markets.

Letter from Frederick W. Christian to Theodore Roosevelt

F. W. Christian sends Theodore Roosevelt an advanced copy of a book detailing his travels through the South Seas and French Polynesia. Christian is very concerned over the welfare of the native people of the islands living under French rule, and believes that missionaries should be given a freer hand to work there. He hopes the book will stir up American sympathy for the people on the islands.
