economic war against Germany after

Imagine the position if we simulta-
neously have to bear the burden of taxa

and, despite the fallen value of German
money, we still have to buy the most
necessary food and raw materials from
abroad. Can anyone in his heart of
hearts really believe that in these cir
cumstances, without an increase of pow
err without indemnity and without Sc
curity we could avoid Germany's ruin 2"
Germany's plight at the hands of Eng
land he bemoaned as follows:
Not only has England taken our colo
nies and Mesopotamia, but everywhere
she has made deeper and firmer bases for
her maritime and colonial supremacy.
She has tarnished and trodden down the
prestige and honor of Germany by unpre-
calumnies. In the transatlantic
world we are considered as conquered and
