To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
DILKE. I am not offering it as an argu- ment ; I do not differ from the argument.
MR. BALFOUR. I am dealing with the infor- mation supplied to me by those in whom I have confidence, and who, I think, are well qualified to judge, and they are clearly of opinion that 210, 000 tons is a low estimate of the amount of tonnage IMPERIAL DEFENCE 19 required for purposes of invasion. Whether they be right or whether they be wrong, it is plain that the steam tonnage in the Atlantic and Channel ports of F...rance at any given moment is wholly insufficient to carry the required number of men. I do not believe it would carry more than half.
Assume, however, for the sake of argument, that the transport were procured, and assume, further, that the difficulty of collecting them in one harbour* were overcome, what harbour would be chosen ? The nearest harbour available is Cherbourg, which is a very bad harbour in which to arrange a sur- prise, since it is entirely exposed to view, and no operations of the kind we are supposing could be carried on in secrecy.
