Population problems of Tanganyika Territory

Abstract

In this article a set of East African problems will be discussed which are thought much more fundamental to the development of Tanganyika Territory than mere white settlement: problems of our native population, its present distribution, and its future better adjustment to the dictates of an environment that is, on the whole, difficult and in places almost grim. For do not let us forget that, as the great British geographer Sir Halford Mackinder told us forty years ago, "Man initiates but Nature in large measure controls".
