Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the early 1900s concerns of Cape Colony officials about the potential diversion of trade away from their ports by railway lines under construction across the borders by foreign powers. The authors discuss the threat posed to Cape Colony's economy by the construction of railways from Benguela, Swakopmund, and Delagoa Bay, arguing that these lines would allow foreign countries to capture a significant portion of the trade that was currently being carried over the Cape Government Railways. The book delves into the potential economic consequences of these foreign railway lines and proposes strategies for safeguarding Cape Colony's interests by potentially placing tariffs on goods imported through these foreign ports. It examines the broader implications of these foreign investments within the context of international trade and economic competition. The author emphasizes the significance of protecting Cape Colony's economic well-being and the importance of taking proactive measures to maintain its position as a major trade hub.
