6/ The arguments applicable to Germans. If the German Colonials think they will make more money by driving the English out of Africa they are much mistaken. It is the healthy rivalry between these two nations that gives East Africa any value. When the English retire in dis gust from Africa German interest in the Continent will heceit, and if by any accident the Germans were to retire from a similar cause British interest in it would die away. I shoued like to see both nations coming to a fair and honourable understanding. Then both nations would prosper, and make their respective territories fruitful in returns. Resolve that thought carefully yourself, and you will arrive at the same Conclusion. The whole of Africa is not worth to Great Britain what a quarrel with Germany would Cost. nor is the Continent worth to Germany what a rupture with England would Cost. Therefore in order to stimulate a healthy raçes interest in that Africa. both nations should agree upon frontiers in order to the process of attrition each upon each would produce what I as a lover of Africa would clearly love to see. England for instance does not Care in the least for the Congo State, because she has no share in it - Cannot have - and if she is driven out of East Africa she will not care for it. and the Germans will then Cease to take that keen interest in it which their pride, amour propre he would otherwise have in the neighbourhood of a rich, powerful & enterprising Power.
