Description:Excerpt from Speech on the Budget by the Hon. Sir George E. Foster, K. C. M. G., Minister of Trade and Commerce, in the House of Commons, Thursday, February 17, 1916Sir george foster: We have learned two lessons in this war. We we learned the lesson of unpreparedness in military matters. When one begins to think of what the British Empire means. Of what its flag floats over, of what its be aaries encircle one-quarter of the inhabitants of the world. Wards without citizenship, dominions which are equal in citizenship, dependencies spread over the whole universe - one begins to realize the awful responsi bility of the trusteeship of the British Government over that immense area, filled with such precious possibilities. And crowded with such mighty interests. To day, and for nineteen months past, Britain has been mourning the fact that she was unprepared for the defence of those sterling and incalculably vital interests. That lesson of unpreparedness has been learned by every one of the Allies. The only country which did not have to learn it was Germany herself; she was not guilty of unpreparedness, so far as this war is con cerned. She had prepared her weapons and chosen her time.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
