In the course of a speech Mr Walter Long, Secretary for the Colonics, emphasised tho great part that natives had played in tho conquest of German 3-ast Africa. <r \Vc must never forget our consequent great responsibility to these natives." he said, "who have given freely and loyally their best services, thereby running tremendous risks; for, if tho captured territory is allowed, to be returned to Germany, German retribution on the natives will be Indeed terrible. Therefore, it is necessary that the question should be settled 'so that tho natives might he fully rewarded for their splendid services. /This question affects not only the British Empire and its allies, but the whole of the civilised world, or certainly that part of it which is determined that the terrible sacrifices of tho v.ar shall not have heen in vain.''
