Read the excerpt from an informational document. Which quotation from the excerpt best supports the

I became more than ever convinced of the importance

of imperialism. My cherished idea is a solution for the

social problem ... we colonial statesmen must acquire

new lands to settle the surplus population, to provide

new markets for the goods produced by them in the

factories and mines. The Empire, as I have always

said, is a bread and butter question. If you want to

avoid civil war, you must become imperialists.
