GERMANY'S LOST COLONIES.
DEMAND FOR RETURN.
MEETING OF COLONIAL ASSOCIATION. (BT CABLE—PRBS3 ASSOCIATION - -COPYRIGHT). (AUSTRALIAN AXD N.Z. CABLB ASSOCIATION.) (Received September 19th, 10.55 p.m.) BERLIN. September 19. At tho annual meeting of the Colonial Association, which has a membership of 20,000, the customary resolutions demanding the return of Germany's former Colonies were carried, and a significant speech was made by Professor Henning upon the exploitation of the League of Nations for German Colonial needs. He insisted that Germany held the best trumps in the negotiations at Geneva, and it was unpardonable if she did not use them. She could direct annihilating criticism at Geneva, on the way many mandates were administered. "If mandatory Powers treat German Colonies as their own possessions," he said, "then Germany is entitled to have the value of her Colonies credited to her against the reparations." Another speaker said it was a bitter truth that Germany would never get her Colonies again until she was able to throw the weight of her power into the scale.
