But the movement has nevertheless gone forward, and the trend of German thought and endeavour has been to acquire new territories and to overcome the opposing forces that stood across the national path. This ideal has been a perfectly natural one, and its accomplishment would but have been the legitimate expres- sion of the triumph of might and vigour over senility and decay. Germanism aimed at dominating Central Africa, and it has always been a motive, conscious or unconscious, of German thoug...ht to acquire the basin of the Congo, from which eventually to control the greater part of the continent. This design was clearly understood by British states- men. During the Morocco crisis Sir Edward Grey stated that if Germany were to be compensated in Africa for her temporary set-back in Morocco, it should not be "at the expense of the Belgian Congo." The suspicion lurking in the minds of well-informed Englishmen that Germany had such designs then obtained its first responsible utterance, but if the inner history of African diplomacy were revealed, it would become apparent that long before this date there was ample evidence of the inevitable tendency of German African policy.
