Doc. #1 O.P Austin

In this excerpt, adapted from O. P. Austin's "Does Colonization Pay?" in The Forum, January 1900, positive and negative results of imperialism are pointed out.

Modern progressive nations (European colonizers) ... seek to control "garden spots" in the tropics. Under their direction, these places can yield the tropical produce that their citizens need. In return the progressive nations bring to the people of those garden spots the food- stuffs, and manufactures they need. They develop the territory by building roads, canals, railways, and telegraphs. The progressive nations can establish schools and newspapers for the people of the colonies. They can also give these people the benefit of other blessings of civilization which they have not the means of creating themselves.

1.)According to this author, what are the benefits of imperialism to the colony?
2.)What are the benefits of imperialism to the colonizer?
