Editorial Opinion
MOW GERMANY TREATs NEGROEs

From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
It is true. as stated by a writer in the
letter column, that the negroes have
good cause to fight against world DOM
ination by Germany. History has shown
that in Africa Germany has treated the
natives worse than any other govern
ment which has invaded that CONT
nent
Belgian individual cruelties in the
Congo caused indignation i'm Belgium
and compelled the Belgian government
TO investigate and put a stop 10 them.
But in Germany's treatment OF the ma
tives, determination OF whole tribes
was the pclicy and this policy was not
only excused but exalted as right by
German publicsts.
In the case Of the Hereror, IN South
west Africa, General Won Trotha is
sued this proclamation: 1.-THE Hereros
must now quit the soil n they re-
fuse. / shall force them with the gun.
Every Herero, with or without a weap-
on. with or without cattle found in
German territory / will have shot. II
shall not look after the women and
children, but will drive them back TO
their own people OF shoot them"
The German pastor, Schowalter. wrote !
in 1907 that as a result Of this policy
about fifteen thousand Hereros died
OF hunger on the desert Almost the
entire HererO tribe was destroyed. And
DR.. Rohrback, imperial commissioner
for Southwest Africa. reported that
"the question Is solved. The Hereros
have lost their land, but that cannot
be regarded as tragic, owing to the
splendid fertility Of the land, which
is now fiscal"
That is TO say. it paid, This is the
German test.
