Declares Africa
Must Have Freedom
By AUSTIN BRIGGS-HALL

NEW YORK lamp Kingsley
Ozumba Mbadiwe Of Nigeria, West
Africa, author of "The British and
Axis Aims in Africa" speaking be-
fore a distinguished audience at
Teachers college, Columbia uni
versity, gave his listeners food for
thought in his discourse on Africa,
the War and Peace Aims"
Mr.. Mbadiwe pointed out the
forbearance of the African by re-
calling that Africa took arms %
years ago in oder to help save the
world for democracy. Developing
further he added: africa came
back home not only to find indi-
vidual and family disorganization,
but also had to summon courage
to face loss of democracy at home
and to Withstand brutality to totali-
tarianisn"
Mr.. Mbadiwe in no uncertain
terms warned the newly formed
committee to study Africa, the
War and Peace Aims" whose spe-
cial report, "The Atlantic Char
ter and Africa From an American
Standpoint" has just been issued
by Phelps-Stokes fund, that Africa
will welcome people who take a
stand that all men and all nations
are entitled to freedom, but Africa
will condemn any person or or
ganization or group of them who
think that they can speak for Afri-
ca or apologetically beg for Africa

To HANDLE DISCRIMINATION
While there will be an overlap

pointed out clearly that DR.. W.eav-
ver's group Is not concerned par
ticularly now with racial discrim

with seeing to it that all available
manpower in districts is put to

cases Of discrimination are to be
taken care Of by the FEPC.

liberty with it. "The west" he said,
"has not understood the mysteries
of the African mind, and until it
does, Africa must be the captain of
her own destiny.
TEACHERS WARNED
Mr.. Mbadiwe again warned the
teachers Of their sacred trust as di-
rectors of the human minds, and
as the invisible hands tina fashion
the policies of government and ma
tons, and urged that such a trust
be not used for selfish or egotistic
ends. Perhaps challenging George
T. Renner, professor of Geography
at Columbia university, who recent
ly wrote an article in Golfers mag
azine, June 6, on the possible re-
partitioning of Africa to afford a
more equitable economic basis for
future world peace, Mr.. Mbadiwe
said that, "the men who talk ge-
opolitics must find themselves in
Germany. We are fighting for de-
mocracy here and we must talk de-
mocracy here"
Climaxing his speech, Mr.. Mbadi-
we said: II wish to say emphatical-
ly, the world that dareS to overlook
Africa in the peace resolution and
appointment of liberty to hopeful
peoples will learn what it means
when the African says no. For
while I live, Africa shall no longer
be the pawn of alien government.
We must, and we will take all nee
essary steps to ensure our liberty,
and should strength fail us in the
task of complete redemption. we
shall leave it for the coming gen.
Grafton as legacy, that they shall
neither sleep nor shudder until the

its school just didn't happen to
be under observation at that time,
but as I told him, if Campbell had
got all the money that had been
raised in it's name it would be one
of the greatest schools in the Ma

One might well imagine that

Organized Labor.
But those vital questions are
being asked by millions of good

are asked over and over again
