An African Peril

"Throw Off the White Yoke"

Propaganda Important information 0 of the growing pan-african, and in many respects anti-white, propaganda in Africa, has been received by Reuter's Agency.

The details forthcoming are based on documentary and other evidence, obtained at first hand by an authoritative British observer who lately crossed Africa on foot. This authority emphasizes the growing cohesion of native races throughout the continent in the direction of anti-European propaganda.

The real basis of this movement, he says, is race consciousness, which is fostered by skilful propaganda from an extreme section of American negroes. Circulars—coming from Nationalist sources in India and Egypt and from pan-African societies in the United States, translated into five of the principal African languages, are distributed in enormous numbers throughout Africa.

Booklets of 25 to 20 pages urge that the time has arrived for the Black races to assert themselves and throw off the white yoke.
