Tropical Colonisation and the Future of Australia

Abstract

IN North America the presence of the Negro has introduced problems of inscrutable perplexity; in South America a mixed race is in firm possession; in Africa as a whole the white man has no chance as a colonist; and in South Africa his future depends on some complex measure of segregation. In Asia, only in the north and north-west has the white man any prospect of permanent dominion. In contrast to these restrictions., in Australia the fundamental problem is the possibility of the occupation of the whole continent by the European race.
