Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Out of Their Own Mouths: Utterances of German Rulers, Statesmen, Savants, Publicists, Journalists, Poets, Business Men, Party Leaders and Soldiers
Since the Russian Revolution, and in consequence of the peace program favored by Socialist groups in many countries - groups which seem to be especially in?uential in the new Russia - the question of annexations and indemnities (more properly the question of conquests and of Spoliations) has assumed increasing prominence. Evidence of widespread German lust for loot, movable and immovable, and for monetary ransom, such as will be found abundantly in the present collection, is, there fore, particularly valuable and timely. The protests cited in chapter xi are also of interest, and for several reasons: first, because they give comforting assurance that even in the Germany of today there is a decent, sane and - let us h0pe - saving remnant; next, because nearly all the Germans who protest against German megalomania and greed emphasize the general prevalence of the notions and desires which they combat; last, be cause the governmental efforts to suppress these pro tests indicate more clearly than any direct utterances of rulers or of statesmen what is the real attitude of-im perial Germany.
