Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Free Seas in War: A Talk to the Men and Women of Great Britain on the Freedom of the Seas; Together With Extracts From the Writings and Speeches of David Urquhart A strange thing, and a dangerous thing, is happening before our eyes. The "Freedom of the Sea" which, since it was first created, it has been our special privilege to guard, is proclaimed by the enemy to be a mere tyranny which we have imposed upon the world; and he, the German, has declared his intention of ousting us from the guardianship and assuming it himself. The claim is so desperately dangerous that I beg for the thoughtful attention of every man and woman in the country while I try to make the danger plain. The "Freedom of the Sea" was evolved out of the hazy past of ill-defined ideas, but the White Ensign is its symbol. We now know that the English fleet stands on guard not merely for the free seas, but for a free world; and so stands with the consent of the free nations. If, by any adverse chance, the barbarian hordes of Germany should have overrun all the fair fields of France; if, by any foul contrivance of these Devil´s masterpieces, the armies of the Allies should have been overcome; still the Fleet of England would have stood between the Hun and the world-dominion he covets; still the world would have been saved.
