THE HEART OF AFRICA.
A WHITE MAN'S LAND.
TREATMENT OF NATIVES. By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyrig]
London, August 5. Ex-President Roosevelt, entertained at a banquet at Nairobi, in British East Africa, his headquarters on his. hunting tour, said that few people realised that under the equator was a real white man's land. During his journeys he had seen large tracts of country suitable for settlers, though the coast regions and the far interior were only suitable for blacks under white supervision.
The blacks, he added, must be treated without brutality and also without sentiment. Sentiment would probably be more harmful than brutality.
