German Colonies a Failure. :

It is generally known that Germany
has not made a striking success in its
attempts to colonize, especially in Af-
rica, but the extent of its failures has
been fairly well concealed. Almost
all the German colonies are largely de-
pendent on subsidies paid by the i'm
perial government to balance their
budget. This year these subsidies
amount to considerably over $780,
900. The one colony which is finan-
cially Independent this year is Togo
land. and this is due to the fact that
the expected contraction of a railway
has been delayed and the payments on
1t deferred. And the worst of 1t is
that both the reichstag and private
capital have SO little faith in the COL
onies that very little new capital is
going into them for their development
