Description:
"THE object of this book is to present and to explain to the reading
public, and to those who are in authority, the condition of the Karens,
the position they occupy, and their aspirations as a nation second in
importance of the indigenous races of the province of Burma. It is their
desire to have a country of their own, where they may progress as a race
and find the contentment they seek. It is this contentment which gives a
man or a nation that satisfaction and good-will and creates that
patriotic feeling so essential to the well-being of the nation.
Self-respect in a nation begets respect from other nations and races.
What a grand thing the achievement of their ambition will be for the
Karens, and what praises and blessing will be showered upon those who
shall have made it possible. The Karens will then be in a position to
show sincere respect to other races, especially to the Burmese, with
whom they have been at variance, and in turn the Burmese will find them
worthy of respect and esteem..."
