Synopsis
Excerpt from Imperial Problems Mirrored in the Imperial Press Conference
That is indeed an impartial statement of the case. Great Britain has all the dominions she wants, sufficient lands overseas to take care of her overflow population and to provide friendly markets for her goods She is not deficient in any part of the world in naval bases, military posts or strategic possessions. The German diplomat, in reply to this statement of facts, cynically observes that Great Britain has obtained a surfeit of those things which growing nations envy, largely by means of her overwhelm ing sea power, and that it is no virtue for her to now sit back and disclaim selfish motive in that which she no -longer requires. The answer is neither logical nor truthful, but it-throws some light on German diplomacy and adds independent testimony in favor of England's protestation that the last thing she desires in the world is war.
