COLONY PROBLEM.

EAST AFRICANS PERTURBED. MUST REMAIN IN EMPIRE. (United Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 1.30 p.m.) NAIROBI, October 28. The East African Chambers of Commerce passed a resolution requesting an irrevocable declaration from Britain that Tanganyika will remain part of British East Afjrica. Thiey have urged the formation of territories into a customs fiscal administrative union under British sovereignty.

GOVERNMENT TO SEEK A CONFERENCE. ALL INTERESTED COUNTRIES. (Received This Day, 1.45 p.m.) LONDON, October 28. The Cape Town correspondent of the “Herald” says that the Union Government is planning a Pan-African conference of all European States interested in African territory, to consider the satisfaction of Germany’s colonial claims. Mr Pirow has been authorised to consult the British Government regarding the feasibility of the proposal. It is reliably stated that if England, Germany, Franco, Italy, Belgium and Portugal arc favourable, the Union will sock the holding of a conference at Cape Town, to he opened by the King. Experts consider that more than a year will be required to prepare the ground, when it is hoped the international situation will be calm enough to enable the question to be discussed dispassionately.
