C. TRANSPORT. That, having regard to the difficulties of transporting agricultural produce to the railway systems and the heavy cost thereof, it is desired to invite the attention of the Governments of the East African Territories to the importance of reducing the capital and running costs of motor vehicles, in particular, by every means within their power. 7. NATIVE AGRICULTURE. (a) It is desired to impress upon the Governments of Fast Africa the great importance of a pronounced agricultural bias being given to the ‘education of Africans in these’ territories, where agriculture is almost the sole industry upon which the sustenance and advancement of the African peoples depend—a principle which has already been emphasised by the Phelps-Stokes Commission. (b) * It is further considered that, for the development of native agriculture, a staff of Africans trained in agriculture and capable of performing the duties of agricultural instructors is essential; and it is urged that the necessary provision should also be made for the systematic training of African teachers in agriculture for schools in native areas. 1119
