I need only montion the fact that in the two Fears 1909 and 1910 the unparalleled aggregate pogramme of naval construction of fificen Dreadnoughts or Invincibles (inelading the two Colonial shifts) bus keen laid down, while the German building programme, even when it has been extended, bas always been known to the whole world for years before its realienti .

It is, therefore, fur Germany, very curious, and even at times incomprehensible, why, year by year when the naval debates in the House of Commons are appronching, a propaganda and an agitation are started in England based on the argument not only that a quile new hot of malice the part

As I have said, we hear these arguments year by year, and every time they we offered to us ne something quite new Great Britain is shown to us again and again us standing on the elgo of a fearful precipice,

We Germans, including em Gererament, Jong ago gave as many explanations on this point as nonid possibly be given, and we we noticed with astonishment and with regret that oficial statistics, noncaruing the presont and future strength of our flest have bou partly ignored in England and partly, as, for instance, by representatives of the British Government, have been pat azide in favour of absolutely falso figures.
