WOMEN FOR GERMAN COLONIES
Effort to Overcome the Disparity Be-
tween the Sexes.

In the colonies OF Germany there
are regions aggregating an area larger
than the mother country herself where
German settlers may thrive and make
new homes for themselves. They NAV
live in these new homes in greater
comfort than in the old country. At
present there are about 10000. white
men In these colonies, but only 1000
women. This disparity between the
sexes is being much talked about in
Germany. Many of the leading Ger
man women are studying the problem.
They are asking il it would not
be blessing to the colonies IL their
white population consisted OF some
thousands of German families instead
OF few thousand German men. Would
1t not transform the colonies into new
Germanys? The women say the Ger
man family should be the social unit
in the colonies.
In June last the Womens Colonial
union was organized under the patron
age Of Grand Duke Johann Albrecht of
Mecklenburg. Nearly every member
or the managing committee is the wife
OF government official or of an army
officer.
In September the union sent it's first
party of young women to one OF the
colonies. Thousands of German WON
EN- are joining the society and a large
scheme of work has been cut out.
In October the union began the pub
Ecation of 16-page paper called Kolo-
ME and Heimat. 1t appears fortnight
iy. and is filled with fine photographs
or colonial scenes and news and COM
ment of the colonies. This is the or
gan of the union. but il is only one
among number OF means through
which the influence OF the union is
beginning to be widely felt 1t is
working to interest German women of
all ranks in life in the colonies. giving
advice and material support to WON
en- who intend to emigrate.

one means adversely. while the other
means prosperity: one means low
wages. the other high: or. means
doubt and debt. the other means conf
dence and thrift.
In principle the difference between
Democracy and Republicanism is that
one stands for vacillation and timid-
ity I'm government. the other for
strength and purpose; one stands for
OBSTRUCTION. the other for construc-
ton: one promises the other performs:
one finds fault. the other finds work.
Tendency Toward Socialism.
The present tendencies of the two
parties are even more marked by in
herent differences. The trend of
Democracy is toward socialism. while
the Republican party stands for a wise
and regulated individuaIism. Social
ism would destroy wealth. Republic
anism would prevent Its abuse Social
ism would give to each an equal right
10 take; Republicanism would give to
each an equal right to earn. Socialism
would oner an equality OF possessi ion
which would soon leave no one any
thing to possess: Republicanism would
give equality of opportunity which
would assure to each his share OF a
constantly increasing sum OF possess
sions In line with this tendency. the
Democratic party OF to-day believes
I'm government ownership. while the
Republican party believes I'm govern
racy would have the nation own the
people. while Republicanism would have
the people own the nation.
