RACE QUESTION N GEnnANy

NACE QUESTION IN GERMANY
Germany's African experience again
emphasizes the fact that whenever the
white races are brought into CONNER
clal or economic relations with the
colored races, the inevitable issue
arises. Berlin Is far enough away
from German Africa to be free from
the charge OF racial prejudice. and
yet In recent discussion before the
German Colonial Society, Duke Johann
Albrecht. of Mecklenburg. Regent OF
Brunswick. said that the experience Of
the Boer States was that the white
man could not get on without the coll
ored worker, and that the latter could
still less get on without the white man,
who must form the leaven for the
sluggish memberc of the indigenous
population.
The duke directed the attention Of
the colonial secretary to the fact that
the Beers understood this thing, while
the British, who had attempted to
create an equality between the black
and the white man by law, had in
reality left the black man in despised
and dependent position. A special cor
respondent of the London Telegraph
says an Interesting discussion on the
native question followed. All the
speakers, including couple of mis-
sionaries. Were Of the opinion that the
1 LII u IA. / a A.
negroes should be treated as creation
of a type inferior to that Of the white
man. and the only differences were
as to the degreetof his inferiority. The
general expression used was that the
distinction between the ruling race and
an inferior race must be maintained
The Berlin branch OF the Colonial So
cicty even went so far as to offer a
resolution that no colorcd man should
be permitted to acquire German .citi-
zenshp, or to occupy position in
which he was directly or indirectly the
superior Of the whites; that marriages
of the whites and blacks should not be
registered, and that the children Of
such marriages should always be
ranked as blacks. This resolution was
laid on the table, but it served to show
the feeling.
Such resolutions and spirit as these
show, as The Tmes-D dispatch has
steadily maintained, that the South is
the best place in the world for the
negro. The climate suits him. and the
people understand him: lie is pro-
tected in his property. in his liberty,
and in all political rights which he is
fitted to exercise. The more the negro
is left to the South, $ all experience
shows, the better has his position be-
come. and the more have his oppor-
Itunities for happiness and advancement
increased. remembering always that
there is a social gulf which Is as im-#
passable In New Orleans or Richmond
as in Berlin or Boston.
