But while an increasing awoker people in the Allied and neutral coup tries are rising to the manifest corollary that this world control demands political unification also in the form of League of Free Nations and while this is becoming more and more definitely the declared war aim of the Allies, the German mind still seems to lag behind, hampered as it is by its militarist Im- perialism and its sabre ideals, and to imagine that mankind may be forced to world control in the economic and financial Belds, with the old German sword and the old German swaggering gloriously in the seat of management.

out

In comforting himself in this war Herr

Dernburg betrays one very common

German delusion. There is nothing in dispensable in German technical science. The Germans are too apt to mistake a spurt ahead, in this as in other mattera for a permanent advantage. So far as the intellectual part of it, the actual science, goes, # Germany has never been superior to any ode of her great antago- nists; she has merely been more heavily organized for the exploitation of technical science and with a vastly greater number of workers therein

It is a baseless German delusion" that the mentality of Germany is superior to that of the Italians or the Atlantic nations. in this' matter. In this, as in many other things, she made her gains. by massed attacks and by getting first into the field. The war has had a most stimulating effect upon all of this side of the mental activity of her enemies, and it is safe to my that to-day, if by some miraculous intervention Germany were suddenly wiped out of existence, the technical science of the world would not be-sensibly poorer.

No greater blow to German self-com- placency is anywhere in preparation than in this Eeld. I have recently been able to look into this matter with some precision, in connection with the forth- coming British Scientific Products Ex- covery alone, not counting what has been hibition, and the record of British re-. done in Allied countries, is astonishing.

It is not merely a record of increased exertion on the part of individual men, though that side of the story is wonder ful enough; it is a record of increasing co-operation, of the formation of great industrial organizations where formerly there was merely a mob of competing. firms, of the systematic undertaking of investigations, of the development of a disciplined systematic Britain out of the Miss N.
