From New York On. y Telegram,
August ~
It IS impossible that certain negro
natives OF the United States will go
over to Africa and take possession
Of the tremendous continent and turn
it into either an empire or a republic.
Not all the power OF the United
States could do that, and the country
that attempted TO do il would face
war with Great Britain, France, Italy,
Spain and Belgium, TO say nothing Of
the free countries of Morocco, Al
geria. Iripoli and Abyssinia. Egypt,
too, would make a fight, although it
virtually lies under England's rule.
Africa is too big for any group of
men to handle. 1t contains 100000
600 people, and has about 100000
more square miles in its borders than
North America has. The attempt OF
few thousand North Americans to
seize the second greatest continent in
the world would be like the negroes
of flayti trying TO capture the United
States.
