AFRICAN MANDATES
REPORTS TO LEAGUE COUNCIL INTERESTING POINTS DISCUSSED (British Official Wireless.) Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright RUGBY, September 19. (Received September 21, at il a.m.) Reports on the administration of Togoland and the Cameroons, which are under British mandates, presented to the League Council, contain a quantity of material of interest to anthropologists and students of Native life. In the course of the report on Togoland emphasis is laid on the principle that any policy which does not foster Native institutions must result in the detribalisation of Natives and the destruction of the All-African atmosphere. Outside influences can quite easily destroy all tribal institutions and traditions unless they are carefully fostered and grafted on to modern organisations. The first principle of the Gold Coast Government, it is stated, has been to adopt for the purpose of local government, the institutions which the people themselves have evolved through the ages, modified, where necessity demands it, but moulded so that the people may develop oh their own lines and stand in due course on their own feet.
