talk about New Guinea as a possible
future home for the prosecuted masses
of Central Europe. That enormous is
land is situated due north of Australia.
and the Torres Strait is so narrow that
until the eighteenth century New
Guinea was believed to be part of the
Australian mainland. In New Guinea
too. as far as we know, the density OF
population is quite small and the high
plateaus of the interior could feed mil
lions of people. But how are new
comers going to maintain themselves
against those cunning natives, whose
entire religious life is bound up with
the practice of head-hunting?
shall never forget the sight of the
village of those semi-civilized Papuans
who live in a little settlement of their
own, only a few minutes removed
from Port Moresby. the center of
government for the western half of the
island. Those poor creatures lived in
few rows of houses, built for safety's
sake on piles in the waters of the
sound. But it had been necessary to
erect three rows of barbed wire fences.
brightly illuminated at night by rows
of electric lights. that they might
enjoy some sort of protection from
possible raids on the part of their more
savage brethren of the interior. For
these wild heathens would use every
opportunity to sneak in under the
cover of darkness and get themselves
another trophy in the form of a human
head.
This CHASTITY custom has so COM
pletely decimated whole tribes of this
entire part of the Pacific Ocean that
within the Dutch half of the island,
one often comes across villages con-
sisting of perhaps forty women and
twenty children and only three or four
men. All the other males have been
killed off by some neighboring clan
during a head-hunting raid. For head
hunting is not a sport but an inherent
part of the religious beliefs of New
Guinea and there is nothing much the
European administrators can do about
it. They have tried their best but the
moment they had put an end to the
head-hunting habits of their charges.
these poor creatures lost all further
interest in life They no longer built
themselves boats for their warlike ex-
peditions. They neglected their tenn
piles and communal houses and finally
they died off from sheer lack of in
terest in the business of living.
1t is undoubtedly fascinating sub
ject for the professional anthropolo-
gist but the future white settler IS not
greatly interested in such strange sur

vivals from prehistoric days. He would
rather starve at home or die in some
ghetto than run the risks connected
with free existence" in this grue-
some jungle. even if he is assured a
thousand times by the administrators
that his white head is OF no value to
the woolly-haired and invisible in
habitants of the dark forests. who
specialize only in the grinning skulls
of their own kinsfolk.
And then we proceed little further
towards the west and we come in con-
tact with highly civilized Malayans.
who have nothing in common with the
Papuans, and despise them as cam
nibals and barbarians Unfortunately,
being highly civilized, their death rate
is proportionately low, and Java and
Madura, with more than forty million
people living on their fifty thousand
square miles, offer standing room
only" to all newcomers. Indeed. there
is so little breathing space for the
original inhabitants that for many
years now, the Dutch government has
made experiments with mass migra-
ton of Javanese to Dutch Guiana and
other distant parts of the map, where
they would enjoy much better eco
nomic opportunities than at home.
These well-intentioned projects have
never been successful. On the con-
trary, the emigrants returned home
the moment they had saved the price
of one-way steamboat ticket.
Apparently few things are quite as
difficult on our planet as to take one
group of people who for thousands of
years have lived in certain spot and
persuade them to take root elsewhere.
In Europe it has been tried time and
again but what happens is clearly
shown in the case OF the Sudeten
Germans. After four hundred years on
foreign soil. they were still just as
foreign as on the day they arrived.
The same holds true. if to lesser
extent. for Borneo and Sumatra and
the Malayan Peninsula. The fertile
tropical sun encourages very high
birth rate. and now that the Dutch
have covered all this territory with a
dense network of free medical centers
and have introduced hygiene and have
stamped out the plague and yellow
fever and cholera, there has been such
an enormous increase in the pOpula-
tion that Java alone has today ten
times as many inhabitants as it had
4 century ago.
The white settler therefore has no
chance whatsoever in that part of our
planet. and furthermore the principle
that the land should really belong to

Those curious for further informa-
ton | would advise to study the his
tory of lne Boer settlements in South
Africa. They would therein read OF
three hundred years of an uninter-
rupted struggle that has not yet come
to an end. For there still is COM
pletely unsolved native problem.
There still are large and completely
pauperized groups of former independ-
ent farmers who could not make the
grade, no matter how gruelingly they
worked their wives and children and
no matter what sacrifices they made
of both life and limb to hold their own
against mans btterest enemy, the
merciless jungle of the tropics.
Then what is the solution? A world
dotted with little Palestines where
only the constant presence OF a large
foreign police force prevents opposing
groups of people from flying at each
others throats? Experiments like
those we made in Alaska where even
selected groups of immigrants found
the task too much for their powers of
endurance and we're forced to confess
defeat and return to the homeland? I
don't know, but the history Of the
past five hundred years (the era OF
colonizatiOn) seems to show us in
most convincing manner that Nature.
in this as in all her other activities,
refuses to let herself be hurried. And
all attempts to interfere with her IRON
clad and steel-riveted laws seem FORE
doomed to failure.
On paper there still exist hundreds
of thousands of square miles which
some day can very possibly be brought
under cultivation But it will take
many decades OF slow. scientific plan
ming and plodding - endless failures
and even more endless endurance and
courage. Any hasty or sudden action
- any artificial attempt to force the
pace of the white mans progress
across our planet - is direct invita-
tion to disaster For, come to think
of it, as a result of the white mans
behavior during the last twenty-five
years, are we quite sure today that
eventually he will really spread all
over the face of the globe?
Suppose that we ask the Japanese
and the Chinese and the Malayans,
and the rapidly awakening masses of
India and Africa They may give us an
answer that will come both as shock
and revelation. but most of all as
shock, for it will probably read as
follows:
'All these spaces on the map are
undoubtedly still available for colo
nization. But from now on we have
reserved them for ourselves. You had

that all this talk of giving unoccupied

traitors that no white man can own a
single square foot of East Indian real
estate. He can rent what he needs for
a definite number of years, but the
title remains with the native, and our
millions of future refugees will have to
look elsewhere.
But where? This is the question.
British India, teeming with hun
dreds of millions Of dusky people. is
already so hopclessly overpopulated
that most of them never get quite
enough to eat, and the same goes for
China, where there is hardly room
enough to bury the dead.
But then someone suddenly had an
other bright idea. There was the island
of Madagascar. Alas. nine million
Madagascarians find it already too
hard to make living to be very eager
to welcome an influx Of outsiders.
There are other disadvantages. The
island is not very we'll situated. There
are few good harbors. The interior is
quite high but also very, very damp
and nobody knows exactly what these
white people would do there, once they
had arrived. Once upon time, spec
ulating upon Madagascar as possible
tourist center, we did some figuring
and we discovered that the average
large New York hotel has about
hundred more rooms at its disposal
than the whole of this mighty French
possession. know Of course that the
settlers would not stay at the best
hotels, but where in heavens name
would they go? 1t took the French
long enough to pacify these strong and
energetic Hovas. so that now they
would most surely not risk a revolt by
threatening to introduce wholesale
immigration of white people In con-
sequence whereof. Madagascar too.
must be stricken off the list of potential
homes for refugees.
And 50 we sail across the Mozam-
bique Channel and we reach Africa.
and names begin to loom up that
sound mighty promising. such as the
high plateaus of Tanganyika, with less
than two people per square mile, and
Angola and Southwest Africa, that
former German colony which is now
administered by the Union OF South
Africa. But here again l must remind
you of that warning l wrote at the
beginning of this article: Remember.
my dear sir, that colonizing is now a
profession and a mighty difficult one
A city-bred populace has no more
chance to survive in those unsettled
regions than pet Pekingese that
should suddenly be turned loose upon
the streets of New York to dig for
itself. Genealogical charts and an
nual rainfall statistics are of no use
unless accompanied by some definite
information about the death rate
through sleeping sickness and the
ferocity of the Crocodiles that infest
the waters and the willingness (or
more likely the unwillingness) of the
natives to do any work whatsoever for
the white man.
Does all this sound exceedingly dis
couraging? rather hope it does, for
the actual conditions in our world of
today are bad enough without making
them even worse by any sudden out
bursts of enthusiasm for establishing
full-fedged civilized communities in
regions where years of preliminary
work will be necessary before single
white baby can be born with fair
chance of survival.
