HOW NATIVES ARE TREATED

IN GERMAN AND IN FRENCH COLONIES

A Reply to the Statements Published in the "Journal Officiel de la République Française" of November 8, 1918 and January 5, 1919

Compiled by the German Colonial Office

This work is a clear and detailed repudiation of the reckless and unsub­stantiated charges which have been levelled against German colonial methods by the French in their efforts to establish a pretext for the annexation of the property of the German People.

It refutes point for point the baseless slanders which the French have uttered against the administration of the German colonies, and quotes French testimonials to German colonial efficiency. It exposes the inwardness of the French colonial system, the curse of forcible conscription which it has imposed on helpless subject peoples, the depopulation of the colonies through war, the bloody riots resulting from oppression, the evils of the alcoholization, exploitation and prostitution of the natives, the treatment of coloured troops in the colonies and in Europe, the atrocities perpetrated in the French Congo, etc.

The book is compiled by well-known colonial authorities and is based chiefly upon French sources of information. Its disclosures deprive France of every vestige of right to appoint herself a judge of German colonial methods and arraign her before the bar of public opinion upon the very charges she had preferred against Germany.

FRANCE'S BLACK MILITARISM

SIDELIGHTS ON THE FRENCH COLONIAL SYSTEM

BY

The author, a well-known publicist, concentrates his attention upon the great menace to peace and the supremacy of the white race which is embodied in France's system of ruthless militarization of her coloured subjects. This brilliant and interesting little work throws a clear and merciless light upon conditions in all French colonies during the war. It reveals the cruel system of enforced drafts, the constant revolts of tortured and betrayed native peoples, doomed by the hundred thousand to serve as cannon-fodder, and the brutal military measures take to suppress these uprisings.

The whole is a calm, terrible and irrefutable indictment of France's inhuman­ity and her violation of her duties to the natives. Its facts and figures are based almost entirely upon French sources and are absolutely authentic.
