GERMANY’S LOST COLONIES.
INTERESTING PRESS DISCUSSION.
The Times. ("Received Sept. 3, 9.15 p.m.) LONDON. Sept. 3. _ The German press is giving prominence to the fate of the German colonies, and in connection therewith M. Zimmerman defines war aims. He says the future should array Central and South America against the An-glo-Saxons, and therefore Germans not emigrating to the German colonies should be made to emigrate to those regions instead of Australasia, North America and South Africa. The Berliner Taereblatfc emphasises the great value of New Guinea and Samoa to Germany, and says Germany has a natural outlet through Turkey. Moreover. New Guinea and Samoa arc easily defended by TT-boat bases there. The article concludes: “If. in the outbreak of war, we knew what we know now. wo would certainlv have had a greater number of U-boats in the Pacific, and things .would have been verv different.”
