Now, the positioneof the Union Of
South Africa, for example, 10 exactly
that of the thirteen colonies. save as
the situation in Africa is far worse.
German Southwest Africa was not
merely the base for an invasion Of
British South Africa in the present
war; it was also a center from which
rebellion against Britain was foment-
ed before the war. It was to abolish
not merely the immediate but all fu-
ture peril Of the sort which had been
experienced in the De Wet rebellion
that Botha and SHUTS led Boer as
well as British troops into German
territory. -.
Southwest Africa having been con-
quered and the peril aboli he'd, the
British colony is resolved that it shall
not return. If Germany comes back
to her old colony it means a perma-
nent menace and a permanent neces-
sity to maintain an army. It means,
in addition, the possible danger Of the
old intrigue and the certain peril of
an interruption Of communication
with Britain in case of another war,
since the German colony faces the sea
route from the mother country and
offers an admirable submarine base.
And what is true of German South
west Africa Is in the main to be said

Unmistakable propaganda now COM
ing from all quarters In Germany dis
closes the expected attempt to divide
the victors on the question OF the I'LL
innate disposition OF the German col
onies. It is to America, too. that the
Germans are looking in the matter Of
the colonies, as we'll as in the ques-
ton Of tho freedom Of the seas" for
the initiative in . move which shall
split the nations which have won this
war.
It Is, therefore, Of utmost impor-
tance that the American people should
understand the question Of the Ger
man colonies. The obvious German
maneuver will be to establish the
idea that the single question involved
is one Of territorial expansion. 1t is
already being artfully insinuated that
the British are preparing to grab"
German colonies with no other intent
than to increase their empire and en-
large their commercial markets.
Not European Problem.
Now. what are the facts? First of
all, tho decision Of the British in the
matter of the colonies will not be
made by the inhabitants Of the United
Kingdom; the problem is imperial. not
European. And In this connection we
have reported this week the demand
of New South Wales, following that
of New Zealand, that the German col
onies shall not be returned. Prime a.,
this country last summer. spoke with
great emphasis in the same sense; the
will of the Union of South Africa has
been made clear and is the same.
Now, Britain has won this war In no
small measure because OF the support
Of her colonies. She cannot by sheer
force compel q restoration Of German
colonies to Germany in the face Of the
opposition Of her own colonies with
out the gravest consequences. In point
of fact, the Pacific islands OF Ger

Of q return Of Canada to France would
have precipitated q revolution in the
thirteen colonies, and for the simple
reason that it would have meant q

It was not that New England or
New York was primarily interested IN
the annexation of Canada; what con-
cerned them both was the imperative
need for peace on their frontiers, for
an end, Of Indian raids, border war

Not an Expansion Scheme.

It is not British scheme of expan-
sion. then, this purpose not to return
German colonies. It is a matter in
which British policy is not made in
London, but in Cape Town, Sydney
and Melbourne. It is colonial, not
q metropolitan policy.
But If the Germans were able to
gain American support for their de-
sire to reclaim their lost colonies they
would not only divide Britain and
America at Versailles, but, were they
successful in attaining their object,
they would divide Britain from her
colonies and succeed at the peace
table in doing exactly what they fail
ed to do during the war. There is,
then, every reason to watch this
latest maneuver.

Australia's Purpose Plain.

Exactly the same emotion is re-
vealed by the people of Australia and
New Zealand. To return New Guinea
and Samoa to the Germans would be
to restore to them bases for future
naval aggressions. Had the Germans
developed their submarine plans be-
fore the war as they did subsequently,
had they been able to station subma-
rines in naval bases at Samoa and
New Guinea. all the British sea routes
in the far east would have been cut,
and the results would have been dis
astrous. Neither Australia nor New
Zealand wishes in the future to have
to maintain navy against a new
German attack. they desire the danger
which has been abolished to remain
abolished. and their purpose in the
peace conference is unmistakable.
There are other aspects to the prob
lem. On the humanitarian side the
story of German colonization is one
Of the blacklist in all history; the de-
liberate determination Of all but a
handful Of the Herrero people in
Southwest Africa is a page Of brutal
ity passing even the Belgian and Po-
fish episodes In the war. To turn
back helpless people to cruel and vi
cious masters would be crime
against the principles championed by
the allies.
