Kehr here describes how the arguments between the aristocratic agrarian faction and the bourgeois industrial factions about the insufficiency of German food production in time of war and the problems of blockade were alleviated not by resolution of the problems, but by the tolls and tariffs of 1902 which made it possible to reform farming to some extent. The aristocratic-agrarian bloc at the War Ministry did not reckon on needing to deal with food blockades in the event of war with England as the interior ministry had anticipated a surplus in supply following the reforms. The tolls had no point but to silence the claims of those who saw the food crisis as a matter of national importance.
