Berlin: The German Colonial Society issues a statement saying Germany’s colonies from before the World War (mostly in Africa) should be returned to her, and that this would save central Europe from financial and economic disaster. The society urges all 11 political parties running in the upcoming parliamentary elections to make the former colonies a prominent issue in their campaigns. “The colonial problem is more than an academic question for German political interest. It is the central problem of German life and German economics, and its solution is the only way by which the German people can lead themselves out of the severe depression.”
