“ NAKED IMPERIALISM ”
GERMAN PRESS ROUSED BRITISH ATTITUDE RESENTED BERLIN, February 14. (Received Feb. 16, at 5.5 p.m.) Mr J. H. Thomas’s statement on German colonies in the House of Commons on February 12 has angered the press. The Koelnisch Zeitung claims that a secret honest plebiscite of the natives would probably show a large majority in favour of a return to German administration.
The influential economic weekly, Deutach Volkswirt, describes Mr Thomas’s statement as the worst service the British Government has done itself and the world for a long time. “It is a sign of naked imperialism at a time when the continued existence of the British Empire is assurable only by the maintenance of world peace. All might be saved by a small sacrifice.”
