German Police Aided the Traders and Furnished No Redress to Dis- tresaed Colonists. There aro two opinions concerning tie riglit of any nation, however ad- vanced, to subdue and to govern' an uncivilized or partly civilized people, even'when the government is just itiid beneficent. There can bo no two opin- ions regarding a nation that urea its power to oppress and rob its weaker neighbor. it ,); as the Germans' own deeds in their African colonies that made it iln=,oss'ble to restore those colonies after the war. In an article on the Oernian rule in Southwest Afri- ca, printed in the Fortuighty Review, the writer quotes the testimony of an under chief, Daniel Korego, of Oitlaru. ru, coneerning the reasons for the na- tive rebellion of 1904. Our people. he said, were beiafg robbed and deceived right and left by German traders; our cattle were driven by force; we were flogged and ill-treated and got no redress. In fact, the Gorman police assisted the traders instead of protecting us. 'Traders would come along and offer goods. When we said that we had no cattle to spare, as the rinderpest had killed so many, they said they would give us credit, Often, when we refasod to buy goods, the trader would simply unload goods and leave them, saying that we could pay when we liked; but , in a few weeks he would come back and demand his money or cattle. He would then pick out the very best cows he could find. Theft and Robbery. Very often one man's cattle were taken to pay other people's debts. If we objected and tried to resist, the police would bo sent for, and, what with floggings and the threats of shooting, it was useless for our poor people to resist. If the traders had been fair and reasonable, we should never have complained; but this was not trading at all—it was theft and robbery. They fixed their own prices for the goods, but would never let us place our own valuation on the cattle. For a bag of meal they took eight cows, which were equivalent to six- teen oxen; for the Hereros would al Ways give two oxen for the cow. She is .0 breeder, and we loved to increase our herds. For a pair of boots they took a cow. Most traders took only cows, for they were farmers also and wanted more cattle. Often, when credit had been given, they came hack and rlaime(l what they called interest on the debt. Once I got a bag of meal on credit, and later the trader came and took eight cows for the debt and two more cows for what he called credit; thus it cost use ten cows altogether. Just before the rebellion in 1903 things got worse than over. All the traders came round and bcp;ssn to collect debts. Often their cleans were quite fake, and they were deliberately stealing our cattle. We complained to the German police, but they told us that we were all liars, and that the word of a German would al- ways be taken, oven if half a dozen of us had tile impudence to contradict- ' him.. That macre us feel as if it were just as well not to be alive. Our People cried and lamented the loss of their stock; our poorer people 110 longer hacl enough milk to drink; all our cows were going, and every month saw our property dwindle away. We saw our chiefs, who complained and complained until they were tired. No heed was taken of them, and we had no courts of law to which to appeal for Justice.
