European politics that the struggle be-
tween Germany and Great Britain was
inevitable, whether as part of
world war or not British preparation
could not provoke IL. Nothing but
thorough British preparation could
avert il. The campaign for thorough
preparation began in England.
For thirteen years that campaign
was waged in vain. Mr.. Chamber
lan's great project for imperial union
and a national tariff was met with an
indescribable rage OF opposition. II
convulsed politics and was defeated at
three elections. After ten years the
policy Of imperial union seemed 10 be
abandoned by the Unionist party itself
as an effective article in its creed.
At the beginning Of 1913, when the
German government, IN secret, had r.
revocably resolved on war. the German
press exulted in the belief that Cham
berlainism" was dead in England and
with it all prospect Of closer partner
ship for peace and war between the
mother country and the overseas do
minions. Political problems among US
we're working away further and fur
Their from the issues Of organization
for trade and defence. Our endless in
ternal troubles presented to all our
evil wishers abroad every apparent
symptom of inevitable disintegration.
Strikes of a New Type.
There were strikes Of a new type
led by the violent men of the syndical-
ist school. There were mining riots
and dock riots. Railways were dislo-
Gated. The great coal strike OF 1917
threatened national disaster Again
and again responsible labor leaders of
the older type were thrown over, their
control defed, their pledges repudi-
ated. their arrangements with employ
ers upset.
The sufragette outrages putting
back a cause TO which many former OPP
ponents are converted now owing to
the wonderful part played by our
women in the war-were a Illuminating
exhibition which it seemed almost i'm
possible TO suppress. To Germans
with their peculiar ideas about women,
this seemed the last sign Of our degen-
eracy. A country in which the law was
daily defied by the incorrigible frenzy
of insdbordinate females-how could II
ever become a great military nation
To all this was superadded at last the
CHASTITY prospect Of civil war in ireland.
A civil war which if it once broke out
might not be confined to Ireland, and in
a moral sense at least would rend from
end TO end with rival passions the
whole empire and even the whole Eng
lish speaking world.
German View of Democracy.
Nothing could have seemed mo. like
chaos come again among US. Small
wonder if the Germans thought that
our age of power had departed and that
our age of anarchy had begun.
"This," said the Potsdam professors,
