THE GERMAN TERROR IN AFRICA
One of the things which Germany
fears most is the loss of her African
colonies They arc the most tangible
realization of her desire for “a place
in the sun." We know from the biclt
nowskv memorandum that before De
war sin- was negotiating with Great
Britain for an economic political
sphere of interest in Portuguese Hast
Africa, and that .r member of the Brit
ish cabinet said to Prince biehnow
sky We don't want to grudge Get
many her colonial development."
A condition of the impudent peace
oflcr to Belgium was that tin- Belgian
government should urge the retention
of her African colonies by Germany
after tie- war The plea has been
favorably regarded by tin* pacifist ele
ment in tin- allied countries, ever
eager ' ■ save Gcrumaiiy punishment
for hit* (rimes it is wortli while,
there!*’!' . to emphasize the reasons
vvity c- ''many should lose for all time
the foothold she has gained in Africa.
They are set fortli clearly and eon
ciusivt B m a report which has been
issued as a parliamentary blue hook
a report which is the more impressive
because it is not an argument but a
plain statement of facts.
The accuracy of these facts is in-'
disputable. The evidence is drawn
fron. German judicial and adminis
liatt" piaitiee set forth in German
official documents, from writings by
recognized German authorities and
from “worn statements, both by Kuro
peans familiar with the country and
by native chiefs
That German colonial rule has been
characterized by the cruel exploita
tion of the natives is. indeed, well j
known. The notorious Dr. Peters was :
a flagrant example of German meth
ods. But it is worth while at this
moment that the memory of the civ j
ilizeil world should lie refreshed on '
this point. Germany Inis shown the
cloven hoof in Africa, as in every
other spot which her kultur has eon-j
laminated She lias made an un
broken record of official had faith and
aggression, of private oppression and
cruelty This document shows clearly
that Germany never cun be trusted
to deal justly or humanely with in
ferior peoples Other nations, it is
true, have sins to answer for in this
respi i • : tint in the ease of Germany
alone has there been deliberate and
systematic disregard of even the com
monest human rights
The customary proceeding, when j
Germany wished to extend her infill- j
cnee over native trilies or peoples,
was first to enter into agreements
with the chiefs Hu! these agreements j
were kept only until Germany wasj
strongly enough established to repu
diatc them They were, in the words'
of a German colonial governor, “dealt
witli uniformly without regard to their j
stipulated details" Thus the trilies
were all. "whether this was arranged
tor in the agreements or not. made]
subject to German laws and German
jurisdiction, and received German gar- !
risons "
It might lie argued that this decep-1
tion was intended for their good
that German laws and German garri- j
sons promoted their welfare anil tie- j
veloped their resources. Unfortu
nately for this theory, the records j
show that German rule was brutal |
and tyrannous, that natives could not
get justice in German courts; that |
native offenses were punished by ling-1
Kings, by executions, carried out in
a manner ‘which would have been con
sidered as brutal two hundred years
ago.” Some of the stories told In the
report would he well nigh Incredible
were It not for what bus taken place
in Belgium and Northern France un
der our own eyes. And If u tribe,
like the Hereros, was goaded Into re
bellion. orders were given to extermi
nate it. "Kill every one of them and
take no prisoners." the German com
mander said.
I*et us keep these facts—a few
among many given In the report —In
mind when the mushy-headed senti
mentalists begin to presR for the re
turn to German domination of races
Rhe has so brutally and despicably
abused.

One of the most important factors
in the development of a new country
is Its highways. When a certain sec
tion has poor roads, that same sec
tlon is always behind other sections
In development because or the handi
cap that It has to carry.
The same facts are true in Alaska,
especially where nearly all the trans
portation has to take placo over roads
and trails rather than over railroads
and trolley lines as Outside. Here the
greatest part of tho country haB to
depend upon roads and trails for com
m unicat Ion with other parts of the
territory all during the winter, and
those sections where the roads arc
had or where there are none are nat
urally the slowest to develop.—Fair
hanks Citizen.
