Britain Pushes Plans
For Development Of
Il African Colonies

LONDON, Dec. Is (CDM M.-Un-
daunted by the blow-ups in India
and Palestine, Britain is pushing
full-scale plans for the development
of II colonies in East and West
Africa.
On them, the British Colonial Of
fice is counting for vast supply
of raw materials and wealth during
the next generation.
They are counted on to play a
big part in replacing important
colonies that are gaining their in
dependence to remain only loosely
a part of the British Common
wealth.
Few people recognize many OF the
names of these IL British colonies
But more is bound to be heard OF
them as they start producing and
contributing to British as well AZ
world economy.
Colonies Are Listed.
Seven, on the east coast of Africa
are: Kenya, Northern Rhodeisa
Nyasaland, Somaliland, Tangan-
yika, Uganda and Zanzibar. -Four
on the west coast. are: Nigeria
Gambia, the Gold Coast and Sierra
Leone.

to that of Canada, of course, ano

some OF the eastern colonies, The
climate In the southern quarter
of the dark continent is both warm
and invigorating.
Currently, these colonies have a
favorable export balance of only
S10O, 100000 annually. The British
feel they can increase this by Is
times within a generation.
Health to Be Improved.
They are going about it as they
have in other parts Of the world.
Natives, ranging from savagery to
semi i-civilization, will get improved
health standards and some slow
degrees of education. They will be
taught to work in fields and in fac
tories, and to take minerals from
the soil. Standards of living, now
on bare subsistence level, will be
raised to some extent.
The object, of course, is to furnish
Britain with cheap raw materials to
compete with other exporting ma
tions in modern, mechanical society.
Britain's Socialist government,
while it is uncertain that colonial
exploitation and socialism go well
together, has taken the position that
the country will be contributing to
the welfare of the natives in Africa,
Sir Stafford Cripps, chancellor Of
the exchequer, recently said that
$500, 100000 earmarked for colonial
development might be held up for
a year or so.
Parliament Gets Protests.
But this has brought a flood of
protests in Parliament. British econ
omists see the development of Africa
as one of the empires best long
tenn investments. They consider it
more essential than many of the
things on which England is spend
ing its money today.

windfall this year. Formerly, the
Congress annually appropriated out
Of the accumulated funds, which are
derived from excise taxes on SPORT
ing arms and ammunition, only an
amount which it deemed the Fish
and Wildlife Service could expend
wisely. This year it appropriated
all the funds accumulated during
the fiscal year ending June. 80, an
amount estimated to be nearly So
000,00G. All of it, except the 8 per
cent required for administration, will
be allocated to the States. This
leaves in the Pittman- Robertson
fund slightly over $4,000, 900 which
has accumulated over the years.
It is to be hoped that some wise
plan for using this huge sum, paid
in by sportsmen for a special pur-
pose, will be devised, so that it will
not revert to the general funds in
the United States Treasury.
In order to halt the decline in
renewable natural resources, the
Maryland Board of Natural Re-
sources has recommended a six
year conservation program in that
State. Statistics evolved from the
boards survey, covering tidewater
fisheries, game and inland fish,
mines, water, forests, parks, geology,
and research and education are most
Illuminating. AS an example, the
oyster crop from Maryland waters
has dropped from $4,000, 900 pounds
in 1890 to 14,000,0 600 pounds in 1914.
Commercial fish in the same period
declined from 64,000,000 to 16,000,-
900 pounds. The water table around
Baltimore was feet below the
surface in 1909 and now Is $50 feet
or more down. Only 20 acres Of
virgin timber is left standing, with
timber cutting exceeding new
growth. While game birds and AMI
mails show an increase, the number
of anglers is increasing faster than
the number of legal-sized fish, &C

.Suggs-Hopkins Battle
Repeat Of '46, Heads
Women 'sGo|f Semis
BY the Associated Press

EVANSTON, Ill, Aug. 15.-Two
friendly rivals Of the tournament
golhng wars-Jean Hopkins OF
Cleveland and Louise Suggs of At
lanta-meet today for the second
successive year as semifinal foes In
the women's Western Amateur.
In ls46 at Cleveland, the 112-
pound Miss Suggs eliminated that
city's district champion, and z,
and went on to the amateur title.
Later the two teamed up to move
to the finals of the women's inter-
national four-ball championships.
Miss Hopkins teed of today de-
termined to keep the Georgian from
her bid of making women's Western
Golf Association history-that of
winning the Western Open and
Amateur in consecutive years for q
double slam.
Miss Suggs jumped into national
prominence in 1946 by capturing
both tournaments and earlier this
season successfully defended her
Open crown at Atlanta.
The other two semifinalists today
were Mary Agnes Wall Of Menomi-
nee, the Michigan State titleholder,
and newcomer Carol Diringer OF
Tifdn, Ohio, who gained the quar-
ter-f1nals of the amateur last season
in her biggest bid for national rec
ognition.
With the exception of 21-year- -o1d
Miss Diringer, the match play sur
vivors are familiar leaders Of West
ern competition. Miss Wall twice
was a runnerup for the amateur
championship but never a winner,
and three times she finished second
in the Michigan State tournament
until breaking through for the title
this year. Since that victory, her
game has appeared to reach its peak
and today she rated a slight edge
over Miss Diringer while Miss Suggs
was given the nod by observers over
Miss Hopkins.
