The Kreuz Zeitung rightly summed up the situation by pointing out that "Mr.Churchill's testimony can now be advanced as showing that the will of England alone comes in question as the exponent of peace, and that England for many years past has consciously assumed the role of an absolute and perfectly arbitrary judge of war and peace.

It seems to us all the more significant that Mr.Churchill proposes also in the future to control, with the help of the strong navies of the Dominions, the trade and naval movements of all the Powers on the face of the earth--that is to say, his aim is to secure a world monopoly for England." There has never been any other thought in the English mind.

As I said in Part I.of this paper, "British interests are first the control of all the seas of all the world in full military and commercial control.

If this be not challenged peace is permitted; to dispute it seriously means war." Germany is driven by necessity to dispute it seriously and to overcome it.

She cannot get out to play her part in world life, _nay, she cannot hope to ultimately maintain herself at home_ until that battle has been fought and won.
Arrangements with England, detentes, understandings, call them what you will, are merely parleys before the fight.
