| (1870.—Development and growth. Generally known data and figures. Much the same “journalistic” account as V. Bérard’s.) | ||||
| Chapter II. “The Soul of Imperialist Germany”... | ||||
| and the “Herr Doktor”—and Mommsen and Treitschke ... drawing-room gossip!—-and a little quotation from Marx (requoted from Bourdeau).... Wretched piece of work. | ||||
| Chapter III. “Imperialist Policy.” | ||||
| ha-ha!! || | ...“The twentieth century inaugurates the reign of the barons of the big banks” (165)—and a quotation from Toussenel: “The Jews—the Kings of the Era” (!!). | |||
| Chapter IV. “Yesterday.” More and more | ||||
| figures on Germany’s economic growth. The Baghdad railway, etc. | ||||
| Chapter V. “Today.”—On the crisis of 1900, | ||||
| prattle.... | ||||
| Chapter VI. “Tomorrow.” | ||||
| ...Resolution of the Paris International Socialist Congress,

and wars....
A bit of everything!... |
