Threat to Civilization Under the

Concluding, Mr.. Blair says: 1T is
my firm belief that, the basic cause
of the spiritual, moral, social, and
economic decline of our present era
lies largely in the unjust and pre-
JUDGED treatment accorded to the
black peoples of the world, who UNI
questionably come under the same
category of Gods people,"

A Strange Journey to Afrlcl


Godfrey Gorer, young English
writer of good family and excellent
education, picks his friends because
of their characters and not because
Of their color. He and Feral Benga
met in Paris wheis Benga. a Sen
galese, had grown famous portray
ing African dances Benga longed
to bring real African ballet to
Paris and Gorer liked the idea. So
one fine day they set out with
much enthusiasm and little money
on this strange quest. In African
Dances" published by Alfred Knopf
at a price of $3.50, you win great
ly enjoy exploring with these adj
venturers.
French Oppression
They certainly did not plan to
write of the French Colonial sys-
tenn but before Gorer got through
he found himself writing less Of
dancing than of economic and ra-
cial oppression. If you would see
how the French are decimating the
West Coast, if you would see how
little the Senegalese, most FORUM
ate of their colonials, have left of
liberty and property, if you would
see how the chiefs have to become
Government tools or get out, how
even in Dakar. Africans are barred
from hotels and public amusement,
if you would behold Dahomey with
out an educational system because
"the Dahomeyans learn too quick
ly," don't miss this book.
Aframerican reaction to Africa
seems to fall in two categories.
Either there is complete ignorance
of the subject and a consequent
hidden shame about it, or, as am
ong those who have read a little
about Ethiopia and Liberia, there
is an almost hysterical enthusiasm.
Goth attitudes seem out of keeping
with the facts.
Clothes and Character
Certainly, there is nothing to feel
shame for. The Africans are an
ancient and cultured people of var
led customs and colors, who had
the misfortune not to invent gun
powder before the Europeans. Be
cause Africans dress differently,
sometimes not at all, the shallow
minded are confused. But if one
must make comparisons, the muca-
touted Greeks wore no more than
most Africans 1.-THE Senegalese and
Dahomeyans have elaborate and
picturesque costumes), neither did
the ancient Egyptian or Roman.
Neither do we wear any more in
summertime. Naturally, the AT
ricans don't wear coats and furs.
dwell upon this because I think
that most of the secret shame I've
noted here about the Africans
springs from the fact that Afram-
