Keynes's review of Mises was published in 1914. It was much later that 
Keynes wrote in his Treatise on Money (1930, Vol 1, p. 199n2) that: 
 
"in German I can clearly understand what I already know, so that new ideas 
are apt to be veiled from me by the difficulties of the language" 
 
Many Austrians have cited this; See, e.g., Rothbard's essay on "Keynes, the 
Man" in Skousen, ed., Dissent on Keynes, 1992.
