TRAWELETTE
Banana.
BY NIKSAH


At the mouth of the great Congo
river, here as wide as an arm of the
sea- stands the important city with
the picturesque name of Banana the
importance of Banana lies in the fu-
ture rather than the present. 1t is
the port of entry to that immense
wilder ness filed with a thousand I'M
developed possibilities known as the
Belgian Congo. If Belgium comes
thru the war with her African empire
intact, Banana will probably grow
into the leading Belgian metropolis.
At present it is little more than
name and a possibility.
Banana consists of an excellent nat
ural harbor and a village of few
score homesick Europeans. Consid-
ering the importance of the Congo
trade even today, ii is surprising that
local development has not gone far
Their. There is no adequate wharf or
pier. There are no adequate unload
ing facilities. There are only stretches
of sandy beach dotted with noble
palms, great mangrove trees with
their multitudinous earth gripping
branches pier of rotting and bat
tered piles, and the native canoes
with their ebony oarsmen. The pros
pect is beautiful in a natural way, but
| there is a surprising lack of industrial
development.
Banana is proba bly, one of the best
| hated ports in the world. Hither
come the exiles who have signed three
and five-year contracts in PARKWAY
| Europe, where years looked short and
salaries looked large. Here they see
] the West Coast of Africa. the land they
must live with. for the first time. and
| there is little in Banana to cheer them
over the prospect There is an air
of shiftlessness and Incidence over it
all, from the inadequate wharves to
the tin cans that litter the streets. The
spell of Africa, the land that changes
mems spirits and philosophy. is over
| it all. And here they have to pluck
up the courage to face the years up
| river. in Borna and Leopoldsville. and
the rubber and ivory posts lost in
| the Jungle.
