Three months after the end OF the
war, the directors Of the leading
banks and corporations Of Germany
held Q meeting to the number Of 5000
In the reichstag, with the home secre-
tary- for chairman, and founded Q COM
pany For the Development and use
OF inventions discovered during the
war. The object Of the company was
TO employ In peace the technical pro-
gress which had been accomplished
under the stress Of war, and the cap
ital subscribed was forty times a.
great a. required.
''one object Of the company was to
build submarines Tor pleasure trips
and 10 search for treasure lost during
the var. The great shipping compa-
MES followed suit by building deep
sea submarines, In which one could
sail without eeasiclness. These ships
Travelled on q cable laid under the
sea, and were worked by an electric
current from the land. They journey
ed at incredible speed, making the
journey from New York TO Hamburg
in 4S hours.
1T was found possible to build a
submarine which sank to q depth Of
more than mile and from this
sprang the international company for
raising the ships sunk during the var.
The work was an immense success,
and large sums Of money were made
from this salvage work. There was
also huge profit in takii,g passengers
in these ships for trips OF eapioratiCn
and sightseeing plong the toItsc, of
the sea. Ships were focud which had

petition recovered the tressuts of a
whole continent, which vas sunk in a
spanish ATfaaGa. Moreover. rich veins
Of coal and iron and other minerals
we're discovered in the sea. -
.Meanwhile wireless telegraphy vas
perfected until 1t was possible to
send current around the entire
world. u was also possible to supply
airships with the current. A company
was founded for q passenger and par
eel service without petrol, which be-
gan serving all important parts Of the
world. The parcel traffic no longer
needed human pilots, because the air.
ships were guided FRI the land by q
simple wireless contrivsnce.
@At the same time, the peace con-
ference at The Hague, which repre-
scented AL civilized nations, decided ON
the complete disarmament q an tie
world without any restrictions. BY
