Britain is one of the richest, freest and most advanced countries in the world. The armaments fever has long afflicted British “society” and the British Government, in exactly the same way as it has the French, German and other governments. And now the British press, particularly the labour press, is publishing very interesting data, which reveal the ingenious capitalist “mechanics” of arms manufacture. Britain’s naval armaments are particularly great. Britain’s ship yards (Vickers, Armstrong, Brown and others) are world-famous. Hundreds and thousands of millions of rubles are being spent by Britain and other countries on war preparations, and of course it is all being done exclusively in the interests of peace, for the preservation of culture, in the interests of the country, civilisation, etc.
