“Prior to 1870 the population ratio of Germany and France was 9 to 8; today it is 13 to 8. Coal output in France in the last forty years has approximately doubled, in Ger- many it has nearly quadrupled, so that its ratio to French output is today six to one. As regards pig-iron output, a generation ago both countries were approx- imately on the same level. Today German output is almost three times that of France” (p. 15).
