THE MENACE OF GERMAN TRADE (BEFORE THE WAR) VI. SOME PREVALENT FALLACIES VII. THE ELIMINATION OF THE GERMAN MENACE "This book might give our sentimentalists something to think over if they would only condescend to learn lessons from experience-even the expericnce of others. But the chief moral of the writer is important to the whole nation; it is that we must "eliminate the German menace"; generosity will be merely interpreted as weakness.
