Uganda

Abstract

UGANDA is a British Protectorate in the heart of Africa, bordering on the great equatorial lakes that form the sources of the White Nile. It is essentially a native Protectorate, climatically a black man's rather than a white man's country. In its 80,000 square miles of land area, it contains an African population of more than 3½ millions; almost exactly 2,000 Europeans, of whom no less than three-quarters are either Government officials or missionaries and their dependants; and some 15,000 Asiatics (Indians, Arabs and Goans). Uganda is accordingly a very different country from its much larger neighbour Kenya, with its highlands suitable for European settlement and an actually smaller African native population.
