GERMANY’S COLONIES
BUYING NEW DANGERS. “I express the view, now,” Sir Arthui; Salter said in a recent speech, “that we should not transfer the old German colonies to Germany. We cannot dissociate the, problem from the present doctrine of the German Government as regards the race combined with the measures by which the doctrine is put into effect. In any case, there would be very great administrative difficulty in transferring thq areas concerned, but even if there were none and we said, ‘Shall we buy peace by this concession?’ I believe that in present circumstances we should only buy additional danger. It would mean this: Germany would say, with justice, that this was a gift made under fear and menace of violence. She be encouraged to develop the policy of force both as regards Europe and as regards colonies. We should be buying extra danger, not peace. But when Germany is again collaborating as part of a world comity, I trust she will take her.; part in colonial government worthy of the great qualities she has. This is not yet.”
