		In April 1884 the Gesellschaft fur deutsche Kolonisation (Society for German Colonisation) was formed as the second stage of the described development.
		The basic idea on which this society was formed is a brief one : to collect from German patriots funds, even in form of small membership fees, to establish an action apparatus which shall devote itself exclusively on questions of practical colonization.
