Our military situation improved enormously. Our situation with regard to the rest of the world has remained the same. Germany had dropped from the circle of Great Powers. The balance of power had been effected without the participation of Germany. This equilibrium is disturbed when Germany's demands for the necessities of life make themselves felt, and Germany re-emerges as a Great Power.
All demands ire regarded as 'Encroachments'.
The English are more afraid of dangers in the economic sphere than of the simple threat of force. A mass of 80 million people has solved the ideological problems. So, too, must the economic problems be solved. No German can evade the creation of the necessary economic conditions for this. The solution of the problems demands coverage.
