Götz Briefs.
«The Alcohol Monopoly»*. Karlsruhe 1912. («Abhandlungen der badischen Hochschulen». New Series, Issue 7).
Seems—from skimming—a special, uninteresting item.
Pp. 240–241:
«In fact, the association of alcohol factories has turned into a monopoly (3 “outsiders” remain: quite weak), the center of gravity of which is in the almost entirely syndicated agricultural potato-distilling plants; this completes the external development of cartel power.»

[HENRI RUSSELER. «LE PARTAGE DE L’OCEANIE»]
Henri Russier: «Le partage de l’Océanie». Paris 1905. (Thèse).
A very thorough summary of a large amount of material. It is a pity that there are no precise, statistical summaries (à la Supan). The compilation is good. Many references to literature, maps, pictures.
The author divides the history of the "political division" into periods:
1) discovery (16th–18th centuries).
2) period of missions (1797–1840).
3) "first conflicts" (1840–1870).
4) "International rivalry," 1870–1904.
the author cites, among other things, a summary table (of the division) from Sievers and Küchenthal: "Australia, Oceania and Polar Countries." Leipzig 1902, pp. 67–8 look at *
Then follow detailed economic, trade, geographic information about individual colonies.
To the economic reasons for colonial policy, the author adds (NB) — social ones.
«To these (above-mentioned, well-known) economic reasons should be added social reasons.—Due to the growing complexities of life, which put pressure not only on the working masses, but also on the middle classes, in all countries of old civilization we observe an accumulation of "impatience, malice, hatred, threatening public tranquility, declassed energy, disorderly forces, which must be channeled in order to use them externally for some major cause, if they do not want them to explode internally" (Vaulx: "France in the Colonies." Paris, no date, p. 92)— (pp. 166–7).
[HENRI RUSSIER. «THE PARTITION OF OCEANIA»]

References to English "imperialism" (p. 171);—American (p. 175)—after the Spanish-American War of 1898,—German (p. 180).
cites, among other things, Driault: "Political and Social Problems of the End of the 19th Century," etc. (Paris 1900), ch. XIV "The Great Powers and the Partition of the World."
