  • What Roosevelt Took: the Economic Impact of the Panama Canal, 1903-37
    Paper 06-041 What Roosevelt Took: The Economic Impact of the Panama Canal, 1903-37 Noel Maurer Carlos Yu Copyright © 2006 Noel Maurer, Carlos Yu Working papers are in draft form. This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. What Roosevelt Took Noel Maurer Carlos Yu What Roosevelt Took: The Economic Impact of the Panama Canal, 1903-37 Abstract The Panama Canal was one of the largest public investments of its time. In the first decade of its op- eration, the Canal produced significant social returns for the United States. Most of these returns were due to the transportation of petroleum from California to the East Coast. Few of these returns, however, accrued to the Panamanian population or government. U.S. policy operated to minimize the effects of the Canal on the Panamanian economy. The major exception to this policy was the American anti-malarial campaign, which improved health conditions in the port cities. “I took the Isthmus.” –President Theodore Roosevelt, 1904. “Why, it’s ours, we stole it fair and square.” –Senator Samuel Hayakawa, 1977. Modern economic historians have been skeptical of the Canal’s economic benefits to the United States. Stanley Lebergott, for example, noted that the Canal “gave equal advantage to any nation that chose to use the Canal,” and the benefits for coast-to-coast shipping accrued “in the same proportion as American railroads were injured.”1 Early boosters of the Panama Canal, however, had no such doubts.

  • Portuguese Defence Activities at Macau During the Boxer Uprising
    Journal of Chinese Military History 6 (2017) 193-218 brill.com/jcmh Portuguese Defence Activities at Macau During the Boxer Uprising Teddy Y. H. Sim National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University [email protected] Abstract This article examines Portuguese colonial and military activities at Macau during the Boxer Uprising of 1900, connecting developments across the border in Guangdong with initiatives undertaken by the colonial authorities in Macau. The Portuguese perceived the situation to be serious enough that substantial reinforcements were eventually sent from the metropole, in addition to various other measures taken to strengthen the colony’s defenses. Portugal also used Macau as a base to coordinate the operations of its consulates in China, and exploited the Boxer debacle to press for new concessions and other advantages at China’s expense. At the end, it is hoped that the limited and relatively unknown role played by Portugal, in conjunction with the larger kaleidoscope of events around Macau, may be better illuminated. Keywords Macau – Boxer Uprising – events of 1900 – Portuguese Far East – Portuguese colonialism – Portuguese military history Brief Survey A somewhat sceptical source describes Portugal as having “participated in the [Allied] suppression” of the Boxer Uprising.1 While it is entirely possible for a state to be involved in an international campaign in a low-key role, as a few countries were in the Gulf War of 1990-91, the author of this article has 1 Clarence-Smith 1985, 3. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2017 | doi 10.1163/22127453-12341317Downloaded from Brill.com10/01/2021 01:05:02PM via free access 193 194 Sim not seen any fuller treatment on this piece of information about Portugal.

A symposium was held in the Michio Morishima Room at STICERD on 16 March 2004 and attracted a large specialist audience. Since many conference are being held around the world to reassess this event, we chose to entitle our symposium 'On the Periphery of the Russo-Japanese War'. That is, we concentrated on countries like China and Britain whose interests were closely tied up with the war, though they were not themselves belligerents. The following papers were presented: Ian Nish (London School of Economics and Political Science): China and the Russo- Japanese War John Chapman (formerly of the University of Sussex): Britain's Naval Estimation of Japan and Russia, 1894-1905 David Steeds (formerly of the University of Wales, Aberystwyth): Japan at War: The Diary of a British Observer, 1904 Sebastian Dobson (Librarian, the Japan Society, London): Lt.-General Sir Ian Hamilton and his Scrapbook The first two appear in this pamphlet; the last two will appear shortly in Part II.

  • The Eleventh Decade
    1901-1910 The Eleventh Decade Overview As Batavia began the 20th century, it experienced its greatest population growth to date. The number of Village residents reached 11,613 in 1910 (“Genesee County Information,” Richmond Memorial Library, online, accessed 3 January 2014). This was an increase of 2,433 individuals since 1900. The greatest contributing factor to this growth was the demand for labor generated by the industry which had developed in the last several years. This was the decade in which Batavia’s sewer problems came to a head. Recall from the last chapter that a representative of the State Health Department, in a visit to the Village in 1900, had said it was “damnable” that a community like Batavia should allow such an entirely inadequate and wholly defective sewerage system to exist. As the cost of successful law suits from various property owners began to mount, the Village Aldermen were finally forced to act. Information about the events involved is in the following section titled, “Infrastructure.” 1: Infrastructure As this decade began, Batavia had neither a public sewer system (in any real sense of the term) nor a sewage treatment facility. Sewage commonly drained into open ditches and/or the Tonawanda Creek. Sewage that didn’t end up in the Creek instead flowed into fields or swamps. The situation was greatly exacerbated by both construction of a public water system, which allowed for indoor plumbing including toilets, and a major population growth amounting to nearly 3,600 additional residents in the years between 1890 and 1910. Beginning in 1906, property owners who owned land onto which sewage was flowing brought law suits against the Village (The Daily News, Batavia, N.Y., 22 November 1906).
