ABSTRACT
The European has introduced his own civilisation, taking over little or nothing of Native methods of life. His standards are high in education, health, hygiene, industrial efficiency, living, art, music, recreation, food requirements and in thrift. A few of the more generous Europeans, mostly those of long residence in the colony, respect the Native for what he is, recognise the integrity of his social life and accommodate their standards of judgment to the values discoverable there. Tension between differing racial groups in the environment and the menace of overt conflict is not peculiar to Africa. “Close connection between free peoples of different cultural type, especially if they are in partial occupation of the same territory, is liable to produce grave social tension. One of the main obstacles to Native agricultural development is the absence of a large proportion of the able-bodied men in the local mines and farms and in the mines in other territories.
