Excerpt from The New Empire Partnership Defence Commerce Policy A new world is emerging from the Great War, and above all, for us who are British there is emerging a new Empire. Let us admit it - we have had a narrow escape. Suppose Germany had waited for a few years longer. The world never saw such a sowing of dragon's teeth. But suppose that Germany had been content to carry on her naval, military, and industrial plans until the day of fruition had really come. The producer, whether he be manufacturer, merchant, farmer, or workman, carries the soldier and sailor on his back, and only those who have made a special study of the complexities of world trade can realise the extent to which the German producer had won his way in an outside world hitherto predominantly British - not excluding the British Isles themselves. England was the workshop of the world when Germany was almost non-existent as an industrial nation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
