The Report on East Africa The Report on East Africa
by Sir Samuel Wilson, Permanent Under-Secretary of the Colonial Office, was published last Saturday. He went to East Africa to correlate the various opinions on the Hilton Young Report, and if possible to find a highest common factor of agreement. He seems to have had an appreciable success. He at least suggests a nucleus of agreeinent. It is a very important matter for Kenya in particular, as the progress of that Colony has been checked by persistent uncertainty: It is only fair to a young Colony that it should know what to expect. It is quite possible to make this clear while also making it clear that the welfare of the natives must be the primary charge on the conscience of the white community. We cannot discuss Sir Samuel Wilson's Report this week, but we shall return to it.
