Synopsis

Excerpt from The Haytian Question

Calumny, bad faith, abuse and threats hold full sway, at a time when it is thought desirable to hoodwink public opinion in regard to the real causes of certain diplomatic incidents, and to conceal the blunders of short-sighted statesmen or political adventurers.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Haytian Question

Day after day, the Haytian Question is forced upon public notice; and all on account of the affair of the Mole Saint-Nicolas.

It is no new thing, indeed, for a minor State, placed by the mere accident of its latitude and longitude upon the disputed ground of international competitions and rivalries, to acquire a sudden celebrity disproportionate to its place in history or its territorial importance. The Eastern Question, for example, which for so many years past has agitated the Old World, and which today is apparently as far from solution as ever, has given rise to innumerable subsidiary questions which have attracted the attention of the world to obscure peoples hitherto known merely as abstract geographical or ethnological names. Hence the mass of pamphlets and studies devoted to the Danubian Principalities, to Bulgaria, Servia, Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Crete; to the Marronites, the Druzes, the Fellahs, etc. Hence the avalanche of abuse, or the flood of eulogy, according to partisan interests and passions, which we see embodied in the thousands of articles published upon men and things in the petty territories coveted by such and such great continental or maritime power.
