With the same patience with which their scientists have evolved working theories. the stolid patience with which they have developed and put into practice theories of navigation. the German has developod his theories of the oriental mind and character. and bases his treatment upon it. in a word. that theory is that the only two things which the oriental mind understands are a plain demand and overwhelming force. The Germandoes not believe that the Chinaman is grateful for special favors shown him. The German theory is that the strong hand is the only thing an Asiatic respects. Therefore. everywhere the German bayonet. everywhere the German uniform. and everywhere German ships of war. and now there is the beginning of another "everywhere." and that "everywhere" is German barracks. How does all this affect German trade?
