FATE OF TANGANYIKA

SETTLERS CONCERNED

LONDON, April 22.. The Daily Telegraph’s Dar-es-Sal-aam correspondent says that the absence of any British Government pronouncement on Tanganyika’s future, coupled with German settlers’ confidence that their former colony of 360,000 square miles and 5,000,000 inhabitants will be restored to them, creates growing uneasiness. Alany important interests, particularly in gold mining, are suspending operations and farmers are restive. The British Indian community intends to appeal to Delhi to take up the matter in London. A committee representative of all races will present petitions to the GoYernnient giving the settlers’ viewpoint and seeking South African and Rhodesian support.
