Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The German Colonies: What Is to Become of Them? Pan-Germans who feel absolutely sure of victory - in the absence of such a conviction the projects of annexing Antwerp, the Briey basin, etc., would be paradoxical - will not even discuss the question of whether the German colonies should be restored to their pre-war possessors. A large section of the public regards their restitution as reasonable enough. It is admitted that a prolific country like Germany needs colonial possessions to take her surplus population; and, as nobody dreams of stifling the German people when it has received its punishment, or of forbidding it to resume a normal and healthy existence, it is expected generally that the future peace treaty will include a clause exchanging the captured German colonies for Alsace-Lorraine or the freedom of Belgium. This is the normal view, seldom discussed, and never opposed. However, the problem is far less simple than it appears on the surface. In the first place, we no longer live in the times of Ruy Blas, when "niggers" were a kind of merchandise to be bartered for "arsenic" without the least consideration for the "niggers" views on the matter; in the second, the opinions of the British Colonies, Dominions, Commonwealths and Federations, whose armies conquered the colonies in question, cannot be disregarded.
