GERMAN COLONIES
Sir—We claim that the can.se of the Allies ill this war is to uphold the 'weaker nations against the brutal aggression of Germany. We claim that we entered this war in tho caus3 of right and honour. It would be a great; pity if in the heat and bitterness of war we forgot our nobility, and in the hour ot victory did the very thing we have been fighting against. May I therefore claim a little of your space in supporting the view expressed by Mr. W. Matheson in your issue of yesterday, we have no more right to keep Germany s colonies after the war than she has to keep the territories sh'e has so -cruelly overrun and conquered. "Vaigeante jB mine, saith the Lord; I will repay. Aa for us, when we are victors in. the field i hope the ohivalrous generosity that marks President Wilson's speeches will be carried out in deeds, making us worthy of prolonged peace.-I a^ctc.,
