KENYA
[l's the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]
---.In the course of 1030, letters appeared in your columns in which the statement that the standard of conduct of settlers in Kenya towards the natives was high was hotly disputed.
Perhaps the nearest approaels to finality on such an issue is the authoritative opinion of the Government officer in charge of native affairs. The following extract from the Ainslie! Report of the Acting Chief Commissioner for Native Affairs, Kenya Colony, for the year 1030, may, therefore, be of interest to your readers. I am indebted for it to the current issue of that admirable weekly, East Africa.
" Probably nowhere in the world are relationa between employers and employed better than in Kenya. But quite apart from that, the concern of the unofficial population for tho development of native communities has manifested itself in many and diverse ways, and is a particularly noteworthy factor in the social and political life of the Colony, and ono which I em glad to be able unreservedly to acknowledge."
Shirley Holmes, Lytnington.
