BRITISH POLICY IN JAVA
ONE OF COMPROMISE “SIGNIFICANT OF CHANGE,’’ SAYS U.S. PAPER AGE OF IMPERIALISM ENDING? Recd. 8 p.m. New York, Jan. 8. “The British policy of compromise in Java is highly significant, and seems to indicate acceptance by the principal colonial Power of a theory that revolts in South-east Asia cannot be suppressed by force alone, and substantial concessions must be made to the native leaders’ demands.” This statement is made by the “Herald-Tribune” in a leadmg article. “It seems probable that Britain’s attitude is based on an appreciation of realities of the situation rather than upon her political and economic needs and desires,” says the article. “It implies that the age of Imperialism nears its end, and colonial Powers will be forced to trim their sails to suit the change of wind.”
