 Judging by past performances is there any urge among Germans to become settlers in colonies like for mer German East Africa and South west Africa? They preferred to go to settled lands like the United Str 'es, Canada, Brazil and Argen- tine. Before the war, the total Ger man population in all German col- onies scattered all over the world was 10000. Of these 11,140 were settled in Southwest Africa and 3l13 in German East Africa.
 The present leaders of Germany say that these figures do not give criterion of what the country would do in the future. Under Nazi impulsion, they say they could send thousands of strong young men to the two former colonies who would not only develop the vegetable resources of the country, but also the mineral wealth be- yond anything that was ever dreamed of in Kaiserist days.

mark and Margaret Bondfield had looked after labor in England, there still remained the feeling in this country that, after all, a Cabinet position was a mans job. When the head of the American Federation of Labor learned of the appointment he said Miss Perkins was charm ing lady but unacceptable to or- ganized labor. This did not riffle Miss Perkins. She had her daugh- ter buy the dress she wore at the inauguration and she herself dust ed off the desk in her office in the old Labor building.
 Dr. Oswald Garrison Willard, for- nler journalist of note, has been in- vited to sit in the pulpit on Sum- day evening and introduce Miss Perkins. pr. Willard was editor and owner of "New York Nation" from 1918 to 1892 and for the next three years was publisher and con- tributor. He also owned 'Tl1e Nau- tical Gazette" which he sold in 10S5. He is the author of many books and magazine articles.

 Tanganyika, former German East Africa, is one of the worlds lead- ing producers of Sisal, out of which cord and rope are made. But that would hardly rank as one of Ger many's greatest needs. Southwest Africa Is one of the leading produc- CTS of vanadium. That is very val- tlable, but does not rank among the primary requisites of great manu- featuring country.
 Taking the world production fig- ures, outsine of sisal and vanadium, the leading products of Southwest Africa are six-tenths of one per cent of the world copper produc- tion; 1.3 per cent lead, one-tenth of one per cent tin; g per cent as- bestos and three-tenths of one per cent silver.
 In Tanganyika, former German East Africa, there is one-tenth of one per cent world production of gold; the same amount of cotton; six-tenths of one per cent copra and half of one per cent ground nuts and sesame.
 There is no showing in available statistics that either of these for

 London, Nov. 18-"It is largely due to the loss of her colonies that Germany is so adversely affected by the present position of foreign exchange and raw materials"
 This statement, put forth by the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce, is typical of the many made by German statesmen and industrial bodies and newspapers in the past few years.
 It is part of their concerted plan to force the matter of colonies as 8 world issue, particularly between Germany and England. The Ger man people are being educated into the belief that, if the bigger former German colonies were returned, the situation as to raw materials, food, foreign debts and industrial manu- featuring would be enormously im- proved.
 Cold figures do not seem to bear out this claim. The year 1911 is typical pre-war year as any. In that year the exports from all Ger many's colonies to the homeland were $10,525, ,000. In that same year Germany imported, exclusive of foodstuffs, raw materials to the enormous sum of $1,35O, O,O00, ,000.
 The British maintain the Ger mans have no kick coming so far as trade is concerned as there is no preferential tariff for British goods. Tho last available figures for im- ports show that the United King dom supplied 272 percent, the whole British Empire 43.5 percent, Japan 23.3 and Germany Al of British African export trade, the United Kingdom took 32.2 percent, British Empire 595 percent, Bel gium 12.7 percent and Germany. 7.2 percent.
 Germany bought sisal, coffee, CO., pra and hides. She sold Tanga- nyiRa machinery, motor cars, rails, locomotives and chemicals. But as Tanganyika's total exports were only $22,000,000 for the year, they would not fill very large German gap. if all went to Germany.
 Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Min- ister of Propaganda, has said that the six basic materials of modern industrialism are coal, iron, oil, cot. ton, rubber and copper. Now of these. Germany has god supply of coal and iron. It has to import

Germany clamors for the re- turn of her colonies. How vale uabIe were they to her when she had them? How valuable to her would they be today? Milton Bronner discusses these questions in the last of three articles written, under the title of "Swastika Over Africa" ex- clusiveIy for The Waterbury Democrat.

at the last session of Congress, have
been completed and bids will be called
for July 5, Traffic Director William
A. Van Duzer said yesterday.
At the same time Mr.. Van Duzel
revealed the Traffic Advisory Council
early next month will again undertak,
study Of proposals to increase speed
limits in the District. He said the
proposals probably would be submitted
to the Commissioners later.
In Favor Of Increase.
Several months ago Mr.. Van Duzer
and other District officials made
known that they favored increasing
the 22-mile speed limitation to Is and
the 30-mile limit to 35, but these pro-
posals never we're presented formally
to the Commissioners.
The traffic director said the Traffic
Advisory Council probably will meet
next week to discuss the proposals to
place the Districts speeding regula-
tions in line with those in effect in
other large cities.
Mr.. Van Duzer said the exact loca :
tions at which the parking meters will
be installed probably will not be made
known until about the middle of July.
In Congested Area.

used in the congested downtown area
probably within the section bounded
by Fifteenth and Seventh streets and

Two types of meters will be used in

D0n0uan Moves to Retrieve
Lost 'Saping' of $3.50, 600 Here
Forcing City to Pay Cost of Court
Officials Should AlI0w 1t to Get
Return, in Fees, He SAYS.

The late Congress spoiled q chance
for the District to effect a saving Of
/ approximately $250,000 during the
1899 fiscal year. it was revealed yes
terday when Maj. Daniel j. Donovan,
District auditor and budget officer.
took steps to counteract the effects Of
provision in the new supply bill
Maj. Donovan's first move was ask
ing, and receiving. permission from
the Commissioners to query the con-
troller general whether the District is
entitled to so per cent Of the fees COL
lected in District Court by the clerk S
once and the United States marshal's s
once.
Behind the move lies this story Of
Congress sometimes weird processes
The appropriations for District
Court and the United States Court
Of Appeals have been carried in the
Districts budget from year to year.
This year, however. the Budget Bu-
reau recommended that the court ap-
propriations be transferred to the JUS
tice Departments budget, with the
District paying so per cent of expen-
ditures from the funds for District
Court and 80 per cent of the appellate
courts expenditures
Add Costs Of Two Offices.
Congress, however, went somewhat
further-in the other direction. In
stead Of limiting the Districts part
payment to those appropriations pre-
viously carried in the annual local
supply bill. the legislators added the
costs of the clerks office and the
marshal's ONCE, none of which pre-
viously had been charged to the Dis
trict.
Result: Instead of saving an antici-
pated $250,0o0 an additional charge
Of $Sl .l20 is imposed against the
District revenues for the 1899 fiscal
year.
The total appropriations for the
two courts, as carried in the Justice
Departments 1889 Appropriation Act
amounts to $1,00S,199 Sixty per cent
of District Court expenditures-the
Districts share-is $500, 100, and 80
per cent Of the Court Of Appeals costs
amounts to $49.3S5, or for the two a
total of $555,575. Applying this
against the total paid by the District
for the two courts in the 1898 fiscal
year, $474,655. leaves an additional
cost against local revenues Of $81 ,l20
Districts Part Is S244,1S0.
The Districts part Of the additional
cost resulting from inclusion Of the
clerks and marshal's offices Is $244,
$50.
1T would seem to be fair and just. y
said Mai. Donovan, "as the District
is now going to be required to pay 60
per cent Of the cost Of operating the
ONCE Of the clerk Of the District
Court and the United States marshal's
ONCE for the District Of Columbia
that it should be entitled to 60 pei
cent OF the fees arising from those two
Offices. If this arrangement could be
