Excerpt from This Perilous Year: A Report on the State of the People of the Union The third latent war lies in the expansion of Germany which is just as certain and inevitable as that of the two other great military powers whose demands have been denied. Either Germany will be given ample territories for her normal expan Sion or She will endeavor to take them as Japan and Italy are now doing. When I know that Germany, said Winston Chur chill recently in London, is Spending much more than eight hundred million pounds in warlike preparations in the course Of a Single year, that She is ruining her finances and depriving the German people Of pork, butter and other foodstuffs in order to turn the whole nation into the most prodigious and terrible fighting machine the world has ever seen, I cannot help asking, for what is this terrible preparation made and what awful event hangs over the future of Europe?' It is strikingly apparent to students Of modern international relations that the expansion Of Japan threatens the integrity Of Russia, the expansion Of Italy threatens the integrity Of the British Empire and the expansion of Germany threatens the integrity Of France.
