PART OF THE NATIVES.
(BRITAIN MUST REMEMBER.
LONDON, Feb. 1,
In the course of a speech Mr Walter Dong, Secretary for the Colonies, emphasised the great part that natives had played in the conquest of German East Africa, “ Wer must never forget our consequent great responsibility to tllioso natives,” he said, 1 who have given freely' ancf loyally their best services’, thereby running tremendous risks; for, if the 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 the natives might be 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 detertined that the terrible sacrifices of the war shall not have been in vaiu.”
