A DIFFICULT PROBLEM
It is reported that Germany is preparing an elaborate colonies demand memorandum for s presentation to the interested, powers, including Britain and ; France. It will deal exclusively with Germany’s former colonies, and make suggestions about ways in which mandates can be transferred to Germany without economic complications. Germany will claim that she requires colonies "for the supply *>of raw materials for industries, and that world trade will benefit if the demands are satisfied. The memorandum may be presented on January 30, the fourth anniversary of Herr Hitler’s accession, when the Reichstag is expected to meet. For several months discussions have been held on this subject. One suggestion is that Togoland and the Cameroons should be restored; another is that New Zealand should give up' the mandate over Samoa and that Australia should give up hers over New Guinea.
