Excerpt from The Rising Temper of the East, Sounding the Human Note in the World-Wide, Cry for Land and Liberty I have called this book The Rising Temper of the East because in it I have attempted to show not only the awakening of a billion backward peoples of the Old World but to sound a note of warning to the white Christian East. I have tried to tell the human story of the rising winds of new freedom, the coming of new ideas, the birth of new hopes, the whole renaissance of the ancient East. The white man's domination of the billion men of the East by force must cease. No longer can our culture and our civilization be carried to backward, ancient peoples on the vehicle of force. If there is a "white man's burden" it must in the future be borne on other shoulders than those that carry bayonets. Everywhere throughout the East there are danger signals flashing their warning to the conquering West. The ruling, the domineering, the looting, must cease. If the West were wise it would shift its course now while there is still time. If it blindly stumbles on, ignoring these danger signals, the day will soon come when the work and the profits of four hundred years will be swept away.
