ton Of the status QUO ante. The Ger
man colonies. which represent Great
Britain's sole tangible gain. are re-
turned to Germany. Both countries
suffer immense losses without any
compromising profit. Meanwhile Amer
lea, has succeeded In securing the
greater part of the export trade for
merly possessed by England and Ger
many.
The author thus claims that the
German navy is already so strong that
in the event of a naval war Germany
would be far superior, and the British
Fleet would be unable to gain deci-
sive victory. His account of this linz
aginary war is interspersed with elab-
crate arguments and strong appeals
for a more rapid Increase of the Ger
man Fleet. which shall render an An
glo- German war still more hopeless for
Britain.
