GERMANS PRESS
FOR COLONIES
Demand Action by League
on Return of Holdings
BY FREDERICK kUn

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, Nov. 20.--Germany's
demand for the return Of some of
her ex-colonies is now live issue In
international politics.
Before and during the conference
at Locarno. Germany told the allies
that she expects her entry into the
league OF nations to be rewarded
with mandate for Togo and Cam
Groom.
Once in the league, the Berlin gov.
eminent means to press this demand
vigorously. II is too early 70 proph-
esy the fate OF this campaign, but of.
fetal circles here are optimistic and
believe that Britain will facilitate the
delivery Of the coveted mandates to
Germany.
inside Of Germany, however. there
Ia a difference Of opinion as to the
desirability Of regaining lost colonies.
The former owners OF plantations
in CAMERON, who lost their posses
sions after the war, have been re-
purchasing them privately and quiet
ly and today the German planters
are again masters Of the CAMERON
plantations. BY granting Germany n
mandate over CAMERON, the league
would simply be putting It's rubber
stamp on an accomplished fact.
More radical circles in Germany in
sist that the return Of the ex.colonIes
to Germany Is a trap. calculated to
embroil Germany In impending co.
lonial wars. Germany say these
critics, viii foot the bill, economically
and milltarily for such adventures.
