Prof. Starr believes that the greater part of the depopulating-ofvillages on which the agi- tators have dwelt, has not been due to oppres, sion, He says that since tens of thousands of blacks in the British territory have been dying of #isap-sickness, the disease which the ogita- tors chim was falat because of the weakened condition of the "oppressed black," the cry has
