"COlOnizIng As A POlicy.o

The Boston Globe reaches the con-
clusion that the question of whether the
possession of extensive colonies is a
great national advantage is one con-
fronted by many possibilities of loss as
we'll as of profit.
England, of course, is the great col
onizer of the world. Though her little
home domain contains but 121 900
square miles and domiciles but 40, 900, :
900 people, she governs nearly II 900, :
900 square miles of territory and owns
an almost endless water front. She
makes laws for some, 1922 900, 900 per-
sons.
France has 204 900 square miles OF
real estate at home and lodges 3S, 500, :
900 citizens. To this she has added
colonial possessions covering 2,505 ,0O0
square miles and forming the abode of
A, 900, 900 people.
Germany though larger than France,
has a far more modest showing in
colonial stocks, aggregating, even il
Kiau Chau be included, only ,615, 00C
square miles and 1000, 900 people suf-
fering from loneliness and the red tape
of lieutenants.
Without going further into the de
tails of old world colonizing, it sufices
to say that eight nations in Europe
possess colonies greater than them
selves in extent of territory, Will,
Great Britain, France, Holland ant
Portugal have more inhabitants in thei
outlying possessions than at home.
But while it is true that Great Britain
has acquired vast wealth in forme
times out of her territories, it is nom
the less true that colonial investment

are not.

decade, while poor Spain has bee
