QUESTION OF GERMAN COLONIES
A SUBJECT FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATION.
LONDON, 24th February.. The Inter-Allied Socialist Conference decisions included the following clause regarding the colonies :—
That the return of the colonies to their pre-war possessors, or such exchange and compensations which might be effected, should not impede the making of peace. Those colonies that have been taken by conquest from any belligerent must be made the subject of special consideration at the Peace Conference, in which each of the communities in their neighbourhood will be entitled to take part. By a clause in the treaty of peace, they must secure economic equality in such territories for the peoples of all nations, and thereby guarantee that, none will be shut out from legitimate access to raw materials and prevented from disposing of their own products or deprived of their proper share in economic development.
