There are three great figures of nations which seem to have been destined to be, in these times, of critical importance to the United States: in the past Germany; in the present, Great Britain; in the future, Japan.

Transcriber’s Notes

Depending on the hard- and software used to read this text and their settings, not all elements may display as intended. Some of the tables may be illegible on small screens or in narrow windows. Illustrations may be enlarged by opening them in a new tab or window.

Spelling, capitalisation and hyphenation as used in the source document (including the errors and inconsistencies in company, geographic and proper names, titles of publications, etc.) have not been corrected or standardised, except as mentioned under Changes made below. Results of calculations in tables are given in this text as they appear in the source document, even though they appear to contain occasional calculation and/or rounding off errors or are based on incomplete or contradictory data.

Page 50, Table 7, table row Austria: the remark in the last column may be better suited for the row Hungary.
