Jang pertama-tama menjebabkan kolonisasi jalah selamanja…
““Jang pertama-tama menjebabkan kolonisasi jalah selamanja kekurangan bekal-hidup dalam tanah-airnja sendiri, begitulah Dietrich Schafer berkata. Kekurangan rezeki, itulah jang mendjadi sebab rakjat-rakjat itu mendjajag negeri-negeri, dimana mereka bisa mendapat rezeki itu. Itulah pula jang membikin "ontvoogding"-nja negeri-negeri djadjahan oleh negeri-negeri jang mendjadjahnja itu, sebagai suatu barang jang sukar dipertjajainja. Orang tak akan gampang-gampang melepaskan bakul-nasinja, djika pelepasan bakul itu mendatangkan matinja!””
