WEATHER FORECAST, SECOND GENERAL
NEWS BULLETIN
MR. MILES WATTS describes a recent journey on the Trans-Zambesi Railway through Nyasaland, Portuguese East Africa and Northern Rhodesia. This journey, and his previous experience as a tobacco planter, entitle him to speak of the lives of the Europeans in Africa outside the Union who are essentially immigrants and settlers and not colonials by birth. Economic development in these colonies by Europeans is dependent on transport and communications, and Mr. Watts emphasises the difficulties encountered by the settlers by the lack of these and other facilities. He draws attention, too,to the growing importance of Rhodesia as a link in Imperial African policy.
