Sin assuming that the latter choice
will prevail. the problem Immediately
arises as to what intelligent cooper
peoples. Here we are most fortunate
in having the reports of a commits
sion of American. African, and Eu-
ropean experts who recently spent
ten months and travelled $4,000 miles
in Africa to study the religious and
educational activities conducted both
by the great missionary organizations
of the United States and Europe and
by the ........? colonial administra-
lions of the powers having possessions
and protectorates in Africa. This re-
port which will be shortly published
has been written by DIR. Thomas Jesse
Jones, who headed the African Edu-
cation Commission and whose twenty
years of devoted conservation to the
of educational advantages for the Ne
groes of the United States has made
him one of the greatest authorities on
inter-racial cooperation and educa-
tional adaptation. IT Is significant of
the coming changes in European poll
cy toward the African natives, that
questions asked by DIR. Jones and his
colleagues in the course of their in
vestigation in the field have already
chambers of commerce organized by
the white traders to a new attitude
toward the natives with whom they
are dealing.
Although interests in Africa has
so far been restricted largely to the
nations of Europe which have had
colonies and concessions there for
many years. the United States is be-
ginning to share in that interest
both because Of Africa's influence on
international affairs and because of
its vast commercial potentialities. At
the same time we have one special
stake in Africa which dates back a
full century, and that is in the future
of the Republic of Liberia which was
founded by American Negroes and
which has patterned its government
on our own. Because of the dislo-
