I avow that physically it is very possible that Phoenicia has existed not merely thirty thousand years, but thirty thousand milliards of centuries, and that it experienced like the rest of the world thirty million revolutions. But we have no knowledge of it. One knows what a ridiculously marvellous state of affairs ruled in the ancient history of the Greeks.
The Germans at the Conference maintained that if the wealth of their nation were realized and liquid, it would amount at most to four hundred milliards, but that to realize it would involve the stripping of the population of everything of its forests, its mines, its railways, its factories, its cattle, its houses, its furniture, and its ready money.
