AFRICAN TERRITORIES MAY AMALGAMATE
GOVERNOR’S ADVICE OBVIOUS ECONOMY British Wireless—Press Assn.—Copyright RUGBY, Sunday. Major-General Sir Edward Northey, who commanded a northern force in the East African campaign in the Great War, and was afterwards Governor of Kenya, was the guest of honour at a dinner held to celebrate the campaign. He expressed the view that some sort of amalgamation of East African territories was bound to come. Kenya, Uganda, Tanganyika, and Zanzibar, he thought, ought to be able very shortly to come to some understanding. It was obvious that if the working of the posts and telegraphs, police, garrisons, and customs could be properly arranged it would be economical. He certainly hoped it would be done. A more difficult question was what Southern and Northern Rhodesia and Nyassaland were going to do. Personally, he would like to see the two Rhodesias and Nyassaland joined together as soon as they could decide. He would look forward to a central African dominion being formed in a quarter of a century. Then the old motto about unity being strength would be proved there.—A. and N.Z.
