JOURNAL
OF AFRICAN ADMINISTRATION
The
present report points
out
that
this has tended to produce permanent
holdings which are too small to be viable and has thereby done much to
perpetuate
the
problem
and
to bring it to its present state.
The remedies which
the
report recommends are of no less interest
than
the
analysis upon which
they
are based.
They
make very significant reading
when set beside those of
the
recent
East
African Royal Commission report.
It
is
not
possible to outline
them
in this brief review
and
in
any
case they can
only be properly understood in
the
specific context in which they are intended
to apply.
But
it is hoped
that
enough has been said to indicate how interesting
and
instructive this report will prove to all those engaged on
the
task of restoring,
or of reforming,
the
economy of undeveloped areas. L. B.
