BRITISH AND GERMAN COLONIAL AIMS..
General Smuts" Interesting Comparisons,
- London, January 29. General Smuts, leaturing to-night before the Royal Geographical Society on East Africe, contrasted the German and British viewpoints on Colenial and world politics. He emphasised that Germany was not seeking Colonies after English modes; abo was not looking for homes for German settlers. The German Esat Africen and West African Colonies practically had no white population before the war." He quoted from a speech by Baron von Rechenberg, former Governor of German Est Africa, showing that Germany, owing to the shortage of agricultural labour, could| not shard to encourage emigration. Bron von Rechenberg said:- "Regrettable though it is, there osa be 'Lo question at the con olusion of peace of acquiring extensive territories for settlement. There is no appropriate country and no farmers to settle thereon." The German Colonial sime were really not Colonial but were entirely dominated by far-reaching conceptions of world politics. Her real aime were not Colonies bat military power had strategic positions for exercising world-power in the future. Her object in Africa was the establishment of a great Central African Empire, comprising not only her pre-war Colonies but also the English; French, Belgian and Portuguese possessions south of the Sahara, Lake Chad and north of the Zambesi, She was now claiming the return of her Colonies in order to resume her interrupted march towards this objectivo.
