AILL HINGE ON RESULT OF STRIKE mplete Victory Means Retention But Possibility of Compromise Leaves Room for Doubt, Says Walter Long, British Colonial Secretary. “Safety First” Is England’s View on Return of Colonies. Walter Long, British Colonial Secretary, made these striking nts as to the future of colonies captured from Germany, in an iusive United Press statement today : : British colonies insist that hereafter their peace shall not be naced by “troublesome” and “menacing” German neighboring mnies. ‘Since England is not prepared to discuss any possibility »pt that of a conclusive peace, the suggestions for return of nany’s colonies in exchange for surrender of Alsace-Lorraine ot be considered Germany’s colonial policy of the future is to be that which she pea ried out in the past, the peace of the world will be gravely venaced by Germany’s retention of the now captured colonies ngland's policy is not to seek increased territory for territory's ake, but it may be that new territory must be added in order that he safety of British colonies be amply safeguarded. British Secretary of State for the Colonies. (Written for the United Press.) LONDON, Sept. 1.—(By mail.) —You ask me to give my opinion on the question of the German colonies which we have captured | ‘ing the war. I do not think that that question can be put in quite | simple a ‘form. It really is dependent upon two totally different iditions. The first and most important is the form and character of | r victory. If it ig as complete as we all hope and believe it will be, | en of course we can dictate our terms and there can be no doubt I} ink, in the mind of anybody what will be. If on the other hand, the | ¢tory were to result in an inconclusive peace, it is quite obvious that | iy declarations made now would have very little effect. These Ger-| an possessions have been captured by British troops, many of them | om our dominions and colonies. The policy of the empire is not, and | ever has been, to seek territory for territory's sake. } ‘ Take for instance Australia and the Union of South Africa. Each is land enough and problems enough to keep it engaged for = !ong IGPOSITION OF ERMAN COLOMES me to come, but in the case of each, her German neighbor sonatas F grave menace to her security and peace, and it was to remove this} nace that they determined to capture the colonies, not for the pur-| bse of increasing their imperial possessoins, but the same remark ap- lies equally to German East Africa—not yet fully conqucred, but tobably soon about to be. I am quite sure of this—that our do- jinions, looking, as I have said, to the question of their own security, fill vehemently resent any attempt to restore German rule in these ' trritories, at all events if German rule in the future is to be anything ymparable with what German rulehas been in the past. Further we jnnot with wisdom ignore the fact that in the future the submarine nd aeroplanes, and all the modern and terrible inventions of war, will ‘ave materially altered the situation, and we are compelled to ask our- ves what would be the opportunities of a selfish and aggressive dwer, animated solely by military lust, if we were to allow them to staini: part of Africa out- > pets which’ they would assuredly | pense her for the loss of her African take submarine and aircraft bases,| possessions. Well, there has, I know, E convert into strongholds from | been some discussion about this. Per- ich to attack their peaceful neigh-|sonally I am not inclined to favor the brs. idea which seems to me to saver far You also ask me what is m7 view; too much of disregarding the views j the propositions that the I ortu- lot the natives, and treating t.em as hese should sell Portuguese East .though they were mere chattels.
