Please read the passage below and answer the questions.
Now let us turn back to inquire whether sending our capital abroad, and consenting to be
taxed to pay emigration fares to get rid of the women and men who are left without
employment in consequence, is all that Capitalism can do when our employers, who act for
our capitalists in industrial affairs, and are more or less capitalists themselves in the earlier
stages of capitalistic development, find that they can sell no more of their goods at a profit, or
indeed at all, in their own country.
Clearly they cannot send abroad the capital they have already invested, because it has all
been eaten up by the workers, leaving in its place factories and railways and mines and the
like; and these cannot be packed into a ship’s hold and sent to Africa. It is only the freshly
saved capital that can be sent out of the country. This, as we have seen, does go abroad in
heaps. But the British employer who is working with capital in the shape of works fixed to
British land held by him on long lease, must; when once he has sold all the goods at home
that his British customers can afford to buy, either shut up his works until the customers have
worn out their stock of what they have bought, which would bankrupt him (for the landlord
will not wait), or else sell his superfluous goods somewhere else: that is, he must send them
abroad. Now it is not easy to send them to civilised countries, because they practise
Protection, which means that they impose heavy taxes (customs duties) on foreign goods.
Uncivilised countries, without Protection, and inhabited by natives to whom gaudy calicoes
and cheap showy brassware are dazzling and delightful novelists, are the best places to
make for at first.
But trade requires a settled government to put down the habit of plundering strangers. This is
not a habit of simple tribes, who are often friendly and honest. It is what civilised men do
where there is no law to restrain them. Until quite recent times it was extremely dangerous to
be wrecked on our own coasts, as wrecking, which meant plundering wretched ships and
refraining from any officious efforts to save the lives of their crews, was a wellestablished
business in many places on our shores. The Chinese still remember some astonishing
outbursts of looting perpetrated by English ladies of high position, at moments when law was
suspended and priceless works of art were to be had for the grabbing. When trading with
aborigines begins with the visit of a single ship, the cannons and cutlasses it carries may be
quite sufficient to overawe the natives if they are troublesome. The real difficulty begins
when so many ships come, that a little trading station of white men grows up and attracts the
whitene’erdowells
and violent roughs who are always being squeezed out of civilisation by
the pressure of law and order. It is these riffraff who turn the place into a sort of hell in which
sooner or later missionaries are murdered and traders plundered. Their home governments
are appealed to put a stop to this. A gunboat is sent out and inquiry made. The report after
the inquiry is that there is nothing to be done but to set up a civilised government, with a post
office, police, troops, and a navy in the offing. In short, the place is added to some civilised
Empire. And the civilised taxpayer pays the bill without getting a farthing of the profits.
Of course the business does not stop there. The riffraff who have created the emergency
move out just beyond the boundary of the annexed territory, and are as great a nuisance as
ever to the traders when they have exhausted the purchasing power of the included natives
and push on after fresh customers. Again they call on their home government to civilise a
further area; and so bit by bit the civilised Empire grows at the expense of the home
taxpayers, without any intention or approval on their part, until at last, though all their real
patriotism is centred on their own people and confined to their own country, their own rulers,
and their own religious faith they find that the centre of their beloved realm has shifted to the
other hemisphere. That is how we in the British Islands have found our centre moved from
London to the Suez Canal, and are now in the position that out of every hundred of our
fellowsubjects,
in whose defence we are expected to shed the last drop of our blood, only
eleven are whites or even Christians. In our bewilderment some of us declare that the
Empire is a burden and a blunder, whilst others glory in it as a triumph. You and I need not
argue with them just now, our point for the moment being that, whether blunder or glory, the
British Empire was quite unintentional. What should have been undertaken only as a most
carefully considered political development has been a series of commercial adventures
thrust on us by capitalists forced by their own system to cater for foreign customers before
their own country’s needs were onetenth
satisfied.

Please read the passage below and answer the questions.
Now let us turn back to inquire whether sending our capital abroad, and consenting to be
taxed to pay emigration fares to get rid of the women and men who are left without
employment in consequence, is all that Capitalism can do when our employers, who act for
our capitalists in industrial affairs, and are more or less capitalists themselves in the earlier
stages of capitalistic development, find that they can sell no more of their goods at a profit, or
indeed at all, in their own country.
Clearly they cannot send abroad the capital they have already invested, because it has all
been eaten up by the workers, leaving in its place factories and railways and mines and the
like; and these cannot be packed into a ship’s hold and sent to Africa. It is only the freshly
saved capital that can be sent out of the country. This, as we have seen, does go abroad in
heaps. But the British employer who is working with capital in the shape of works fixed to
British land held by him on long lease, must; when once he has sold all the goods at home
that his British customers can afford to buy, either shut up his works until the customers have
worn out their stock of what they have bought, which would bankrupt him (for the landlord
will not wait), or else sell his superfluous goods somewhere else: that is, he must send them
abroad. Now it is not easy to send them to civilised countries, because they practise
Protection, which means that they impose heavy taxes (customs duties) on foreign goods.
Uncivilised countries, without Protection, and inhabited by natives to whom gaudy calicoes
and cheap showy brassware are dazzling and delightful novelists, are the best places to
make for at first.
But trade requires a settled government to put down the habit of plundering strangers. This is
not a habit of simple tribes, who are often friendly and honest. It is what civilised men do
where there is no law to restrain them. Until quite recent times it was extremely dangerous to
be wrecked on our own coasts, as wrecking, which meant plundering wretched ships and
refraining from any officious efforts to save the lives of their crews, was a wellestablished
business in many places on our shores. The Chinese still remember some astonishing
outbursts of looting perpetrated by English ladies of high position, at moments when law was
suspended and priceless works of art were to be had for the grabbing. When trading with
aborigines begins with the visit of a single ship, the cannons and cutlasses it carries may be
quite sufficient to overawe the natives if they are troublesome. The real difficulty begins
when so many ships come, that a little trading station of white men grows up and attracts the
whitene’erdowells
and violent roughs who are always being squeezed out of civilisation by
the pressure of law and order. It is these riffraff who turn the place into a sort of hell in which
sooner or later missionaries are murdered and traders plundered. Their home governments
are appealed to put a stop to this. A gunboat is sent out and inquiry made. The report after
the inquiry is that there is nothing to be done but to set up a civilised government, with a post
office, police, troops, and a navy in the offing. In short, the place is added to some civilised
Empire. And the civilised taxpayer pays the bill without getting a farthing of the profits.
Of course the business does not stop there. The riffraff who have created the emergency
move out just beyond the boundary of the annexed territory, and are as great a nuisance as
ever to the traders when they have exhausted the purchasing power of the included natives
and push on after fresh customers. Again they call on their home government to civilise a
further area; and so bit by bit the civilised Empire grows at the expense of the home
taxpayers, without any intention or approval on their part, until at last, though all their real
patriotism is centred on their own people and confined to their own country, their own rulers,
and their own religious faith they find that the centre of their beloved realm has shifted to the
other hemisphere. That is how we in the British Islands have found our centre moved from
London to the Suez Canal, and are now in the position that out of every hundred of our
fellowsubjects,
in whose defence we are expected to shed the last drop of our blood, only
eleven are whites or even Christians. In our bewilderment some of us declare that the
Empire is a burden and a blunder, whilst others glory in it as a triumph. You and I need not
argue with them just now, our point for the moment being that, whether blunder or glory, the
British Empire was quite unintentional. What should have been undertaken only as a most
carefully considered political development has been a series of commercial adventures
thrust on us by capitalists forced by their own system to cater for foreign customers before
their own country’s needs were onetenth
satisfied.
