II. Content
In the first part of the article, the author, Wilhelm Arning, writes about the need for trade inspectors in the colony. He reports that the rubber trade had seriously declined as a result of the rebellion in 1905. Indian agents who pushed the producers were only a collateral reason for the uprising, likewise magic practices. The principal cause was the introduction of new taxes.
III. Further Remarks
Dr. Wilhelm Arning, the writer of the first part of the article, lived in German East Africa and had already written various essays for the newspaper (particularly about the rubber trade) to which he sometimes refers.
The second part of the text includes a lot of information about the uprising from different sources, for instance telegrams from the commander of the warship "Bussard", Governor von Götzen, Captain Richter, but also rumours. It seems that von Götzen tried to convey a positive picture of the"Schutztruppe" activities.
