Quotation from: The Strength of the Strong

Written by: Jack London


The Convention of 1975 was called at Philadelphia. All the Western
nations, and some few of the Eastern, were represented. Nothing
was accomplished. There was talk of all countries putting bounties
on children to increase the birth rate, but it was laughed to scorn
by the arithmeticians, who pointed out that China was too far in
the lead in that direction. No feasible way of coping with China
was suggested. China was appealed to and threatened by the United
Powers, and that was all the Convention of Philadelphia came to;
and the Convention and the Powers were laughed at by China. Li
Tang Fwung, the power behind the Dragon Throne, deigned to reply.
