Cameroons would permit a wide

British colonial communication
lines would be vulnerable to such
bases. .,
French CAMERON is governed
by a commission as an autono-
nous territory. 1t has a popula-
ton Of 2,355,O00, of which fewer
than 2, 400 are whites. The native
population is about 20 per cent
agricultural. About 10 per cent
are cannibals. Most, of the natives
live in the forests, producing on
ly. for their own needs, although
recently France has done much
to encourage a flourishing new
cattle industry on the high inland
plateau. The low ma ngrove
swamps are fever ridden.
Cameroon has a good trade,
importing about $2,000,000 worth
ofogoods year and. selling ST.
500, 900 worth of cattle, palm oil,

have built up about 200 miles of

TOGoLAND ?.
Germany was proud of Togo
land before the war because it
paid its own way. When it was
split up, Britain took one-third
attached to the Gold Coast and
France took two-thirds or 2O,464
square miles attached to French
Dahomey. 1t has a population OF
100000 natives and 1000 whites.
Whether Germany, which needs
raw materials, could find them in
Togoland in appreciable quantity
remains doubtful. Experts include
cocoa and palm oil and rubber on
a reasonably large scale. There is
no oil or tin, no iron or coal. The
interior is rough and cut by many
watercourses. The climate is not
suitable for colonization and the
port facilities are poor.

Bv RALPH HEINZEN ..
United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, Nov. IL. (UP),-Ger-
many's demand for return of pre-
war colonies is deemed of greater
concern to France from a politi-
cal and military viewpoint than
economically.
When the World war ended and
the victorious Allies split up Ger
many's overseas empire of more
than a million square miles,
France did not reap any out
standing economic gains. 1t got
! two-thirds of Togolahd (the only
German pre-war colony which paid
its own way) and about four
tifths of the Cameroons.
As German West African pos
sessions, the Cameroons had
about $4,000 square miles area
and Togoland $4,000 square
miles. If the Third Reich regain
ed al lor part of these areas,
Fuehrer Adolf Hitler would have
a foothold in Africa on which ne
might develop important subma-
rine and aviation bases that would
worry both Britain and France
and would be less than 5000
miles from South America.
From practical standpoint,
Frances colonial wealth lies in
colonies other than those taken
from Germany. Morocco, Tunisia,
Algeria, Indo-China and New Cal
edonia provide mineral and agri-
cultural wealth and furnish mar
kets for many millions of dollars
worth Of French industrial ex-
ports annually.
The former German colonies
now held by France under League
of Nations mandate, their back
ground and Importance arc shown
in the following: g.. ..
CAMEROONS ...h
French and English forces cap
tured CAMERON from the Ger
mans in 1915 and, after the peace
treaty, they divided the territory.
France took 154,444 square miles,
including an area which had been
ceded to Germany by France in
1911 from the French Congo in
settlement of Germany's recogni-
ton of Frances grab of territory
in. Morocco.
The, Cameroons would provide
a foothald for Germany on the
West African coast. They extend
inland to Lake Tchad, in the heart
of the continent and at the seuIce
of water supply for much of the
interior. In this connection, Pre-
mier Renito,. ,Mussolini has been
seeking further cession : of
French Sahara to Italy to extend
the southern borders of Libya to
Lake Tchad.
If the aims of the Nazi-Fascist
powers in this direction were real
lied, they would have a strip
through the heart of Africa ex-
tending northWard to Libya, thru
Italy and Germany right to the
North Sea. Even if the Mediter-
ranean sea were corked up at
both ends in event of an emer-
gency, the German-Italian combi-
nation would have an overland
outlet to the Atlantic ocean.
France, while expecting a solu-
ton of the German colonial de-
mands, does not expect any such
settlement as that to be made, al
though. part of the Cameroons
eventually may be returned to the
Reich. There are two seaports,
Douala and Kibri, in the territory

Famous Hollywood stylist Writing For
International News Service

HOLLYWOOD, July 13.
A THOUGH too many people
IA have strayed from the fold
of hat-wearerS, they'll come
back in body if hat designers
continue to create styles as flat
tering as they've done this sum-
mer. For those who like large
hats there are cartwheeis or

stiffened lace. Bretons and

sprinkling of mannish models

felts take care Of the women
who prefer a medium-sized brim.
At least 81 varieties Of the tur-
ban and calot are available for
the small-hat wearer.
One Of the most attractive
cartwheels we've noted this sum-
mer belongs to Joan Blondeu,
who is the perfect mooel for
the extremely large brim due to
her height and facial contour.
Joan's hat is heavy flesh-colored
linen worked with an eyelet en-
broidered daisy design. The flat
crown is banded with extremely
narrow black grosgraiu ribbon
which also binds the edge Of the
brim. She has a flaring bolero
to match this which she can
wear with many costumes.
Bette Davis is one Of the few
petite girls who can wear wide
brimmed hats with the popular
elan. Her natural leghorn with
a band which reaches only half
way around is extremely becom-
ing to her. The reason for this
is that her splendid carriage
gives an illusion Of height.

Wash and wipe the apples and
cut into quarters without peel
ing or removing the seed. Put
into a preserving kettle and
barely cover with water; set on
the fire and simmer until the
apples are tender. Then strain
through a jelly-bag - don't
squeeze the bag, merely let it
drip. To every pint of the juice,
allow one pound Of cut-loaf
sugar. Put the juice in a pre-"
serving kettle and place it where
it will quickly come to a boil;
let it boil hard for 20 minutes,
then add the sugar; stir con-
stantly until the sugar Is dis
solved-be careful to remove
every particle Of scum as it
rises. AS soon as it begins to
boil, after the sugar is put IN,
try to see if it jells. Have the
Jars ready: as soon as it jellies
take from the fire, put a spoon
full in the jars, turn it about,
then fill the jars very full. Put

then cut papers the size of the
