Imperialism and World Politics, Supplement 1

Frederic Bancroft

Within the footnotes of “Imperialism and World Politics”, Parker Thomas Moon references a great many short articles or documents so that the interested student may delve deeper. Primarily from these materials, this supplementary collection is drawn. As additional tranches of material enter the public domain, additional Supplements might be released. Other materials relevant to the content and narrative of Moon’s work, but otherwise unrelated, may be included if especially interesting. In particular, Moon was from 1928 until his death in 1936 the editor of the journal “Political Science Quarterly” —some of the articles there are equally complementary. Included in Supplement 1 are:— “The Turkish Petroleum Co.” by Edward Mead Earle (1894-1954), author and academic, appearing in Political Science Quarterly. Referenced in Chapter 11. “The Bitter Conflict Over Turkish Oilfields” by John Carter (1864-1944), a former U.S. diplomat, from a 1925 issue of Current History (a monthly magazine of the New York Times). Referenced in Chapter 11. “The Three Moroccos” by Walter Burton Harris (1866-1933) from Foreign Affairs magazine—this one isn’t referenced by Moon, but is added because Morocco only received a very brief treatment in the book. Dispatch from the Venezuela Boundary Affair of 1895 is a note extracted from the “Foreign Relations of the United States” by Secretary of State Richard Olney (1835-1917), outlining his interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine to London, respecting Venezuela. Mentioned directly in the text of Chapter 16. “The Monroe Doctrine” by John Bassett Moore (1860-1947), university professor and State Department official, isn’t referenced but is a contemporary 1896 response in Political Science Quarterly. “The French in Mexico and the Monroe Doctrine” by Frederic Bancroft (1860-1945), historian, isn’t referenced but is a contemporary 1896 response in Political Science Quarterly. “The Recent Pseudo-Munroeism” by John Burgess (1844-1931) isn’t referenced but is a contemporary 1896 response in Political Science Quarterly to the above diplomatic note. “The Monroe Doctrine Reconsidered” by William Robert Shepherd (1871-1934) is also from Political Science Quarterly. Referenced Chapter 16. “The Recrudescence of the Monroe Doctrine” by James Wilford Garner (1871-1938) comes from Political Science Quarterly and isn’t referenced—indeed this article was published in 1930 and post-dates the book.
