The attack upon the American gunboat in December, 1937 by Japanese forces contributed greatly to the general deterior­ ation and eventual breakdown in American-Japanese diplomatic relations. Though the immediate impact of the incident did not result in any radical departure from America's isola­ tionist position, it did modify American opinion in respect to foreign and domestic affairs. Indeed, pacifist influ­ ence was to reach its highest crest during the Panav epi­ sode. At the same time, the crisis vividly dramatized America's unwillingness to pursue a more positive policy in the Far East.

Burke '.Basu Dmytrys~"lyn This study is an attempt to combine the disciplines of Asian history and United States diplomatic history in analyzing the 1871 Korean-American Incident. The Incident revolves around the Low-Hodgers eA.-pedition to Korea, and the sub- sequent breakdown of peaceful negotiations into a military dash of arms. To describe the Incident as merely another example of American "im- perialism, '' or as a result of narrow-mindad Korean isolationism, is to over- simplify its causes and miss the larger implications that can be learned from it.

  • Publications of the U,S, Government Paul H. Till
    PUBLICATIONS OF THE U,S, GOVERNMENT PAUL H. TILL For many years the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) regular- ly mailed to anyone who requested it a bi-monthly list of Selected US Government~ Pub~b~f~ns. This practice was totally discon~- ~d a couple of years ago because of the costs. When the list was sent out regularly, many military collectors received it and found on it various prints, books, and other publications of interest and usefulness, such as Meda.l~. of Honor Recipients 1863-1978 and the Army Lineage Series, w-~h--~he-~-~Jrchased for t-h~r--l-i~raries. Now that this regular list is no longer sent out it is somewhat of a hit or miss operation in finding out what publications are available. If one writes to the GPO to inquire about a specific item, gener~lly a current list will be sent back. It is this commentator’s opinion that any collector who receives such a list should review it and forward to the Editor all the details of any government publication which might be of interest to military coll~ctors. The necessary details are the GPO’s stock or serial number for the publication, its name, and the price. Thus, de- spite th9 disappearance of the regular list, many would be infor- med of publications of interest. Having received the August/ September 1982 list and other information from the GPO in res- ponse to a recent request, this commentator submits the following publications which may be of interest to collectors: Army Lineage Series; Infantry: Part II Army National Guard.

  • Introduction: Shanghai War Issues and Personnel
    jordtext.qxd 1/16/01 1:00 PM Page 1 Introduction: Shanghai War Issues and Personnel Shanghai in early 1932, prior to the war, was a place of opportunity and frustration—a bustling new city peopled mainly by those seeking their fortunes and those who had failed. Hundreds from upriver trudged in daily or disembarked from crowded steamers looking for work. The cata- clysmic ›ood of 1931 had left human ›otsam, and those who died of star- vation on the streets during the night were carted away so as not to offend the nouveau riche in limousines. Foreign communities in the International Settlement, such as the thousands of Japanese and much smaller numbers of Westerners, were also there to make pro‹ts, by whatever means neces- sary. This was a do-or-die competitive environment both in the foreign concessions and Chinese Shanghai. Since the world war, ambitious new Chinese industrialists had to price their commodities lower than those of the more advanced Japanese zaibatsu branches that had sprung up, pro- tected by extraterritorial rights and treaties and capital reserves in Osaka and Tokyo. Along Shanghai’s glittering Bund on the waterfront of the Huangp’u River, the solid of‹ce buildings of Mitsui, Japanese banks, and warehouses of large Japanese cotton mills such as Kanebo and Nagai Wata jostled cheek to jowl with the Bank of China and the Wing On mills and department store. The background for the Sino-Japanese con›ict involved the following mix of issues and characters. After 1928, with its anti-Japanese boycott, the new era of the Kuom- intang’s national government at Nanking saw the zealous leadership translate their hot anti-imperialism into calls for a revolutionary diplo- macy in which the new China would assert itself against the evils of unequal treaties.

  • Gunboat Diplomacy on the Yangtze
    Gunboat Diplomacy on the Yangtze By Richard K. Kolb, VFW, April 1991 Between the world wars, duty in exotic China captured the nation's popular imagination, yet service there was punctuated by international incidents that often placed U.S. Marines and sailors in harm's way. Figure 1 ‐ The USS August was hit by shrapnel on August 20, 1937 while moored off Pootung Point, Shanghai, during the Sino‐Japanese War. One sailor was killed and 18 wounded. U.S. Navy Photo. In left hand corner appears the Yangtze Service Medal. War‐tom China during the "Roaring '20s" and depression‐ridden '30s was an exciting place to most Americans. Far away and mysterious, the Celestial Empire was brought to America vicariously through stories by writers such as Marine Capt. John W. Thomason, Jr., forever linking China with the nation's military. Perpetually convulsed by civil war, this ancient land, which was dissected by foreign powers, was constantly the target of outside intervention. Though the isolationist U.S. generally refrained from fighting, it was, on occasion, inexorably drawn into the warfare. Warlords made China ‐ from the Yangtze River Valley to Manchuria ‐ a battleground for their armies. Bandits were always plying their trade, and the Nationalists and Communists battled for control of the country across its entire face. The most explosive element added to this mix was the Imperial Japanese Army, determined to direct the destiny of all of East Asia. At various times, all these factions threatened the safety of U.S. citizens in China. More than 10,000 Americans resided there, many running the 350 firms based in China by the late '30s.

In the sea stories and barracks tales of soldiers, leathernecks, and old salts, China hands have been depicted as swaggering, larger-than-life men. China hands gained repute as the best professional military men and also the best at drinking and womanizing. Why have these men been overlooked? Part of the reason is that most of the troops served in the peacetime military. Most Americans would probably agree with the British statesman, William Cecil, who wrote: ‘Soldiers in peace are like chimneys in summer.’ From Dennis Noble’s preface to his 1990 scholarly monograph on American military men in the Far East, The Eagle and the Dragon: The United States Military in China, 1901-1937.
