On the contrary, my dear fellow, it increases the danger tenfold, because it increases German jealousy of our military supremacy. (BALSQUITH: After all, why should the Germans invade us?) Why shouldnt they? What else has their army to do? What else are they building a navy for? (BALSQUITH: Well, we never think of invading Germany.) Yes we do. I have thought of nothing else for the last ten years. Say what you will, Balsquith, the Germans have never recognized, and until they get a stern lesson, they never WILL recognize, the plain fact that the interests of the British Empire are paramount, and that the command of the sea belongs by nature to England.
