From the lowly shrimp came the name Cameroons for the one-time German colonial wedge of tropical Africa divided between France and Great Britain after World War 1. Both Allied powers have now proposed United Nations trusteeships for their respective League-mandated portions of Cameroons and Togoland on the Gulf of Guinea coast. A Portuguese navigator dubed the region five centuries ago when he found camaroes (shrimps) abundant near where the port of Douala now stands, in the wide mouth of the river that empties into the Gulf's northeast corner. The colony was Kamerun to the Germans, is Cameron to the French, notes the National Geographic Society. Like neighboring colonies along the south coast of Africa's big western bulge, Cameroons consists of fertile but oppressively humid and unhealthful coastal lowlands and wild interior uplands.

On lowland plantations, cacoa, Coffee, bananas, spices, peanuts are grown. Rail and motor road lead to the docks at Douala. Back in the plateaulands, roads are few. They pass through occasional native villages, ruled in some instances by sultans complete with palaces, gardens, harems, 100-piece orchestras, cavalry guards, and simimilar appurtenances. Away from the motor roads in the Cameroons hinterland is Africa at its near-wildest- grassy plains and open forests in which dwell primitive tribes, herds of elephants, and the full range of wild animals from lions to small monkeys.

The colony exploited by the Germans for three decades prior to World War I was almost as large AS their homeland, bordering Nigeria for 700 miles from the Gulf of Guinea northeastward to Lake Chad.
