Description: NY: George H. Doran Company, (1918). 1st Edition. First Printing. Soft Cover. Publisher's printed wraps. Herr Muhlon was appointed a director of Krupp's, the great German armament firm at Essen. He was employed by them on important business in connection with Morocco shortly before the affair of Agadir. He was brought into close communication with the Deutsche Bank, which has played so large a part in financing German enterprise. In the ordinary course of his business he had a very important conversation with Herr Helfferich, who was at that time one of the directors of the Deutsche Bank, and afterwards became Imperial Minister of Finance. The revelation as to the perfidy of the German Government made a profound impression on Herr Muhlon's mind. He resigned his post as director of Krupp's. In 1917, he finally determined to give up all employment which would make him an accomplice of the German Government; he then left the country and took up his residence in Switzerland. He wrote a memorandum (published in 1918) and a letter to Herr von Bethmann-Hollweg on May 7, 1917. No contradiction of his statements has been forthcoming from the German side. The volume is in virtually perfect, pristine condition, unmarked, tight, square and clean. FINE. 12mo 7" - 7½" tall. Fine with No dust jacket as issued .
