There are but two selfgoverning peoples on this globe. and one of them maintains its existence because neutrality is guaranteed by the great powers of Europe. Others have the form of a republic. but not the genius and spirit. They are good enough republics on paper. but in practice they fall short of the principles which they declare. The Asiatic mind. in my opinion. never will conceive the idea of selfgovernment as we understand and as we practice it. Take France for an example. That nation while a monarchy was for more than a hundred years in the very fore front of civilization.
