Quotation from: War of the Classes

Written by: Jack London


In this connection, and as one of many walking delegates for the
nations, M. Leroy-Beaulieu, the noted French economist, may well be
quoted. In a letter to the Vienna Tageblatt, he advocates an
economic alliance among the Continental nations for the purpose of
barring out American goods, an economic alliance, in his own
language, "WHICH MAY POSSIBLY AND DESIRABLY DEVELOP INTO A POLITICAL
ALLIANCE."


It will be noted, in the utterances of the Continental walking
delegates, that, one and all, they leave England out of the proposed
union. And in England herself the feeling is growing that her days
are numbered if she cannot unite for offence and defence with the
great American scab. As Andrew Carnegie said some time ago, "The
only course for Great Britain seems to be reunion with her
grandchild or sure decline to a secondary place, and then to
comparative insignificance in the future annals of the English-
speaking race."
