would constitute an initial threat against South America, the Panama Canal and the Gulf of Mexico coast of the United States. The necessity for observing future German intentions at Dakar thus becomes a strategic problem for the Western Hemisphere, as a consequence of France's surrender to Germany. It gives the Western Hemisphere a direct interest in the redistribution of African west coast colonies after the war. The nearest Dakar is Bathurst, capital small British colony of Gambia, bordering French West Africa on the Atlantic Coast. Bathurst 100 miles south of Dakar and within easy striking distance. Great Britain would be as much concerned as the

cause it might be used to command the sea route to South Africa. Farther south of Dakar is Liberia, the Negro republic formed early in the last century, under American influence, During the World War, Liberia joined the Allies as a belligerent and expelled many Germans who had sought refuge there after the loss of German African colonies. The Liberians are willingly susceptible to American influences and would not interpose objections to plans that might be considered essential at some future time for serving Westerm Hemisphere military interests, The fact that the United States has such possibilities of gaining defensive outposts on the West African Coast is a matter for strategic study in association with German interest in Dakar. The Germans will have to take it into consideration if they hope to make Dakar a striking post for Western Hemi-
