GERMAN COLONIAL DEMANDS.—Map, indicating in black, the territories formerly held in Africa by Germany and for the return of which she is strongly agitating, on the pretext that they are required for supply of necessary raw materials. These areas actually appear to be of small commercial value, being mainly tropical and habitable only by the native populations. German East Africa provides small quantities of sisal, tea, coffee, maize, tobacco, and a little gold. South-west Africa produces small quantities of diamonds, some gold, coppermatte, tin, and vanadium concentrates and tungsten. The Cameroons provide palm oil, almonds, hides, cocoa, ivory, and some gold-all in small quantities. So far as can be ascertained, the cost of administration of these colonies is invariably greater than the revenue derived from them. The latest available figures during German administration (the Cameroons for 1912) indicate a revenue of £320,000 and an expenditure of £480,000.
