Southwest africa, the latest
political division of the world to
acquire a constitution, was for
merly German Southwest Africa,
the product of the first of Ger
many's efforts to obtain a co
lonial "place In the sun." It *as
on this huge territorial "bone" that
the empire, unused to overseas pos
sessions, cut the teeth of Its colonial
policy, later used effectively in other
parts of the world. Since the World
war the region has been under man
date from the League of Nations to the
Union of South Africa. The consti
tution recently granted to the man
dated territory was conferred by the
parliament of the union and Is only
the forerunner, according to South
African political leaders, of a still
broader charter.
Germany became Interested In col
onies In the eighties of the Nineteenth
century after most of the desirable
areas In Africa had been staked out
by other European powers. Along
the Atlantic coast, Southwest Africa
(then generally known as Damara
land) was practically the only unap
propriated region between the Cape of
Good Hope and Gibraltar; and Great
Britain looked upon this region even
as more or less hazily within her
sphere of Influence. Undoubtedly It
had remained unappropriated largely
because of Its utterly desolate appear
ance from the sea. Seeing only Its sea
aBpect one traveler described It as
without question, "the least attractive
part of Africa, except only the Sa
hara."
Southwest Africa has an area of 322
400 square miles, and so Is two-thirds
as large as the four states of the union
together. Beginning In the south at
the Orange river. It extends northward
past the Tropic of Capricorn and on
to the southern border of the Portu
guese colony of Angola, marked by the
Kunene river. The total frontage on
the Atlantic Is approximately 800
miles, a distance equal to that from
the island of Jamaica to central Flori
da, and In corresponding latitudes. In
the north the territory is 620 miles
wide, extending inland to within little
more than 100 miles of the middle line
of the continent. The territory be
comes narrower to the south, and at
the southern boundary Is only 220
miles wide. The most striking and pe
culier feature of Southwest Africa as
It appears on a map Is the long nar
row "finger" of territory that extends
eastward from the northeast corner.
This corridor, only about 30 miles wide,
extends for nearly 300 miles to the
Zambezi river, which It reaches only a
few miles above ^Victoria falls.
Coastal Desert Is Desolate.
\ Southwest Africa's worst foot, which
she puts forward to the Atlantic?the
coastal desert?Is known as the Na
nilb. Few coast regions of the earth
are .more desolate. Shallow water,
low desert Islands, absence of har
bors, and a dry, sandy shore, devoid
of vegetation, combined to make the
region so inhospitable to seamen that
they always gave It a wide berth. The
sand, mostly blown Into dunes, ex
tends inland from ten to forty miles,
and the barren, desert character of
this strip is marked from the southern
boundary for about 600 miles north.
The few stream beds that have been
worn Into the Namib during the ages
have water In them only now and
then over a long series of years, end
when moisture does flow down frees
the highlands It seldom reaches tie
sea.
The northern 200 miles of the coast
region is only a little less desolate
than the Namib. It Is more mountain
ous, less dominated by loose sand, and
in a more tropical latitude. The
stream beds are better defined and
usually support a growth of bushes
and trees.
Perhaps once in ten years the Na
j mib receives a drenching rain and
demonstrates the magic that nature
I hides In her drops of water. Verdure
(.-springs up all over the parched sands,
animals flock In almost overnight, and
for a while the former desert teems
with game. Soon, however, the sun
parches the soil again, the animals dis
appear, and once more the desert Is
supreme. <
From ten to forty miles Inland the
desert gives place to a transition belt.
Sparse grass and bushes appear on
rising ground and afford some pas
turage. Immediately beyond is the
escarpment of the inland plateau, its
edge marked in many places by fan
tastically piled bowlders.
It is in the upland back of the sandy
coastal strip that the worthwhile part
of Southwest Africa exists. This re
gion Is least promising in the south
where the rainfall is scant. But even
there, the broad valley of the Fish
river and the valleys of Its tributaries
furnish regions In which thriving com
munities have sprung up, while much
of the dryer land supports flocks of
sheep and goats. >: ? ? , ,
The plateau region becomes more
and more promising as one Journeys
northward. In the center of the coun
try 14 Inches of rain falls annually.
A little farther north 16 and then 18
inches is received; while over most
of the northern quarter of the inland
region 20 or more inches fall each
year. \1''
Has Few Ruitnlng Streams.
One striking thing about Southwest
Africa is the lack of running streams
O ' : A to'
even In the regions of heaviest rain
fall.. The only year-round rivers are
the Orange, which marfcs the southern
boundary, and the Kunene and Oka
vango, which form part of the north
ern boundary. Most of "the rainfall is
absorbed and trickles down Into un
derground strata. In the dry stream
beds and the "pans" or dry lakes,
shallow wells usually find an abun
dance of water for men and stock.
Many wells have been bored to con
siderable depths and tap abundant sup
plies for individual and community
use. From the slopes of the numerous
mountains thgt rise from the plateau,
too, springs flow.
Just as a rather extreme lack of
rainfall seems to have decreed that
the southern pleateau country must
be devoted to sheep and goat raising,
so the relatively light rainfall keeps
the southern three-quarters of the
country from agriculture except In a
few small areas where Irrigation la
practicable. The region of medium
rainfall, however, is well adapted to
stock raising and it is in this field
that the greatest development has
been made. Excellent grass grows
over the plateau region, In the moun
tain valleys, and even in the extreme
east along tha edge of the Kalahari
desert which stretches off into
Bechuanaland. %
Before the coming of the Germans
the natives, especially the Hereros, had
large herds of cattle. These were
nearly wiped out by an epidemic of
rinderpest In 1897. An excellent vet
erinary service, organized by the Ger
man colonial government, took the sit
uation in hand and made the country
once more safe for cattle. Since then
the cattle population has increased
greatly, Improved by the importation
of blooded stock. Horse-breeding is
also carried on successfully and camels
have been Introduced and are doing
well. ,
One Good Farm Section.
The one section of Southwest Africa
well adapted to the European type of
agriculture, and quite the Ideal region
from the point of view of the small
farmer, is a small district around
Grootfontein in the north-central por
tion of the territory. There, In a re
gion about 100 by 75 miles, the rainfall
is from 24 to 28 Inches annually, the
soil is good, and the climate, thanks
to the altitude, is ideal. This region Is
at the present end of the railway which
penetrates toward the northeast. Un
like most other sections of the terri
tory this little area is reasonably well
wooded. Potatoes, tobacco, wheat and
the other European cereals thrive, as
well as kaffir corn and maize. The
climatic and soil conditions even per
mit the growing of such different fruits
as grapes, apples and peaches on the
one hand, and citrus fruits on the
other.
The extreme northern portion of
Southwest Africa has never been de
veloped by the European population.
This area next to the Portuguese
frontier Is more heavily populated by
natives than any other. It has not
been penetrated by railways and only
a few white settlers Hve there.
Plains alternate with wooded re
gions. Good timber trees and palms
are scattered about. Undoubtedly this
section Is capable of producing cotton,
tobacco, flgs and dates, as well as the
present staples, maize and kaffir corn.
It was known long ago that a large
variety of minerals were present In
the rocks of Southwest Africa. The
copper mines inxthe northeast have
been the most valuable of the ore de
velopments. Copper has been found in
less promising quantities elsewhere,
and also tin. Extensive deposits of
marble are known In several parts of
the territory. Strangely enough, the
worthless appearing coastal desert has
gelded the greatest returns. Diamonds
were found near Its seashore In 1008
and from then until the World war
$50,000,000 worth were taken out. In
1922 alone $3,500,000 worth were ex
ported.

About the Towns.
At present the white population of
Southwest Africa is almost as much
South African and Boer as It Is Ger
man. thousnnds of Germans having left
the colony sifter the armistice. The
estimated population Is something un
der 20,000 whites and Perhaps 200,000
natives.
Walvls bay, the only good natural
harbor, has never been developed.
Swakopmund and Luderltz bay pr An
gra Pequena are the chief coast towns.
The latter can be made Into a port
little If any Inferior to Walvls. Swa
kopmund was entirely a makeshift of
the Germans, with only an open', road
stead. But it Is so solidly constructed
that its abandonment would be un
thinkable. It has a resident popula
tion of about 1,400 whites and 2,500
natives and Is becoming popular as a
seaside resort. Life In the coast cities
Is more comfortable than might be sup
posed. The shore Is washed by a cold
current which brings cool nights and
tempers the days. The principal diffi
culty is a lack of fresh water.
Windhoek, the capital, is the most
delightful residence place In Southwest
Africa. It has. a population of about
4,500 whites and "13,000 natrves. It Is
more than a mile above sea level, yet It
Is set in a beautiful valley surrounded
by mountains. Trees and flowers
thrive and there are parks and orna
mental grounds in the city, while In
the neighboring country are vineyards
and orchards ,'/)
