Great Britain and Germany: A Study in National Characteristics; March, 1912 (Classic Reprint) - Livres de poche

Excerpt from Great Britain and Germany: A Study in National Characteristics; March, 1912 In response to many requests, the Association for International Conciliation takes pleasure in printing for circulation in the United States a limited edition of the important address, "Great Britain and Germany; A Study in National Characteristics," delivered by Viscount Haldane at the University of Oxford, on August 3, 1911. This address was made at a time when public opinion, both in Great Britain and in Germany, was in an excited state. Revealing as it did that an influential member of the British Cabinet had a keen and sympathetic insight into the life and spirit of the German people, it seemed to the Association for International Conciliation that the address should be brought promptly to the attention of the German reading public. Through the cooperation and under the supervision of Mr. Alfred H. Fried, of Vienna, the address was translated into German and a very large edition of it was distributed throughout Germany. There is every reason to believe that the effect of this action was helpful to the cause of peace and international good will.
