The British Empire is land poor. Many
Of its scattered colonies are sources Of weak
ness instead of strength. 1t already has its
hands over full with the task Of governing
great empires teeming with alien populs-
tions. Not only is this true Of India, but
with the Cape colonies and the Nile delta
England has already all and more than she
can well digest of Africa. British states
men understand that further annexations
are TO be accepted with reluctance, and not
to be sought as Russia seeks them, sword in
hand. Hence German colonial aspirations
are likely TO aid rather than obstruct the
alliance which the Marquis Of Salisbury and
Prince Bismarck made at the Berlin Con-
gress, and which was only temporarily in
terrupted by the fitful and uncertain course
Of the Gladstone Cabinet. Germans and
English both sprang from common stock.
Kindred in blood, it is fortunate that the
great permanent national interests of the
two branches of the Teutonic race do not Sc
rlously conflict. And in this fact lies the
best hope for the maintenance of peace in
Europe.

There is considerable discussion about the
apparent conflict between the colonial in
teres,s of Germany aud of England. That
there is no real conflict will be apparent TO
any one who gives the subject intelligent
attention. England is already overbur.
dened with colonies. Her true policy IS
only 10 acquire new territory when II is es-
sential TO the security of her present posses
sions. German acquisitions on the Zanzibar
coast or elsewhere in Africa can easily be
reccnciled with British interests, and no
more welcome coadlutor in the civilization
and opening to commerce Of the Dark Conti-
nent could be found by English statesmen.
What far-seeing Englishmen should most
desire in Africa or Asia is a strong and
friendly neighbor, able to aid in the open
ing up and development of the resources Of
the savage nations. Such power must
be one which has no natural antagonism Of
interests or feeling toward England. Russia
or France are therefore undesirable as colon
ial neighbors.
