German people have no designs on

German people do not believe him.
For more than a generation they

The friends Of German democ-

IF we bear these simple facts in
mind IL is easy TO understand why
the English have led in the modern
civilized life of Europe Because
England is insular it developed
great sea power and became the
mistress of great colonies and the
sea commerce connected with them.
Therefore England became the FIRST
great manufacturing country Of
Europe IL was perfectly natural
that the steam engine should be in
vented in England. IL was because
they had more use for 10 than else

Because England was the hrst
country 20 develop modern indus
try il also developed the first revO-
luton in modern time. This revolu-

had the nerve and energy TO see this
revolution through 10 its logical end.
