Thyssen admits that in consideration of his co-oper- ation he was explicitly promised, as ta, gift, 30,000 acres of land in Aus- tralia and the loan of money wieh which to develop it. This promise, ma,de by tile Chancellor, was confirm- ed by the Itaiser himself, and though Thyssen was omewlaae 'skeptical at first, he made he bargain, as did the other business leaders of Germany. And now tealizing that the bargain cannot be filled, he is tellihg these ' facts with a view to letting the Ger- man people understand that the war was started by the Hohenzollerns for the maintenance of the autocratic military power. Thyssen and the other business leaders of Germany deliberately en- tered into thie bargain, and in dise cussing it, he says: "Every trade and interest was, ap- pealed to.
