GERMANY TO GET AN ISLAND
Steps Taken To Secure Possession
OF Fernando Pc.

Berlin August 21-Maior Curt Morgen,
the well-known German colonial expert
writing in The Colonial Gazette, asserts
that the German government has already
taken steps and is preparing to take
further steps to insure the Island of
Fernando Pc coming into the possession
OF Germany when Spain is ready to dis
pose of it. Major Morgen says:
''If the island were to fall into the
hands Of a military and naval power like
Great Britain ii would constitute 4 wedge
in our flesh such as We have permitted to
he driven into US at many points. but
winch we must hereafter guard against"
The writer adds that the possession of
Fernando Po carries with it the COM
rncrcial and military domination of Ger
many's west African colonies, and urges
German capital to emulate the recently
formed Liverpool syndicate and prepare
to achieve economic conquests of the
island.
