But if any hulking stranger should undertake to interfere in our domestic concerns, we shall all unite on the instant to keep things as we wish them to remain.

We shall be ready.
Alfred's maxim of Peace shall be once more exemplified.

In the meantime the factories shall work overtime in our own mountains, and the output shall be for the general good of our special community--the bill to be settled afterwards amicably.

There can hardly be any difference of opinion about that, as the others will be the consumers of our surplus products.

We are the producers, who produce for ourselves first, and then for the limited market of those within the Ring.
