GERMANY’S LOST COLONIES

. ♦ _____ 3 DEMAND FOR RETURN. [BY CABLE—PRESS ASSN;— copybight.] ; LONDON, November 22. j “Tho Times’s” Berlin correspondent states: The Colonial propaganda, con- . ducted by the committee of the Ger- ■ man Association, with which one hun- • dred propagandist societies throughout Germany are affiliated, .against “the ’ organised robbery of the German Colonies by England,” is becoming more active, and the demands made for tho return of the colonies to Germany are more frequent. Tho President, Doctor Schnee, who was the last Governor of German East Africa, presided at a protest meeting against tho proposed incorporation of East Africa lin the British Empire. He declared: “Britain will realise her war aim, and will seize the German colonies as war booty. bne has only obtained tho mandates now, but she hopes to accomplish the practical annexation of East Africa by uniting that with her adjoining possessions. Though. England is satiated with .colonies, she aims thus to form a colonial state twice the size of Germany and to acquire vast possibilities of exploitation.”
