present political units Of central Europe
were strong enough to make an ef-
fective defense, taking into account the

When China was equipped with rail-

the most capable merchants and the
cheapest labor. Russia would have
the largest army and be the greatest

flow 10 the United States and would be
an important increase Of her economic
prosperity. OF the three the United
