more and more self-government
and representation on the highest
judicial and administrative councils
grows stronger each year.
In the face of this situation col
onial governments are granting
more recognition and self-govern-
ment to the local inhabitants. Even
in the notorious South Africa, 10
times worse than Mississippi, the
government, in spite of resigna-
tions and the bitter protests of it's
white clerks, has ordered all its en-
ployes to address persons of color
as Mr.. and Mrs.
The real strength of this trend
can be indicated by certain basic
economic facts. England and
France expect and fear stiff compe-
tition for world and colonial trade
from Russia and the United States
after the war. This competition
must be met not only in Europe,
South America, and Asia for exam
pie, but also in the colonies under
the political control of France, Eng
land, Holland, and other powers.
Both America and Russia, thetwo

great military and economic pow
ers in the world today, are demand
ing that the trade and raw mate
rials of all colonial areas be an
open door to all nations. To this
both countries have agreed.
Among the Negroes in Africa
both the French and the British are
trying to strengthen their competi-
tive position by investing millions
in both private and government
funds. These and similar acts which
will seem very strange to many, are
not for the purpose of suppressing
Negroes, but to improve their eff
cheney and productivity as workers
and as farmers. Specifically this
means better health and education
facilities, better housing and trans
portation methods; better agricul-
tural methods and increasing self
government.
Of course there is very little that
is charitable in all this. The Brit
ish and the French realize that be-

RAPID PROGRESS
OF NEGRO COLONIAL
AREAS RESTRICTED

Regardless of the language which
might be used in the charter of the
united nations organization con-
cerning self-government and indie
pendence of colonial areas, far
reaching political and economic ad-
vantage seem certain to visit Ne
groes in colonial areas.
The worldwide struggle against
fascism and the growing power of
labor and progressives in the major
colony-holding countries, is turn
ing the tide of world opinion
against the political suppression
and economic exploitation of So
called dependent peoples.
This tide has been enormously
strengthened through the condem-
nation Of colonial exploitation by
World Trade Union conference
which met in London in February
and by the Brazzaville Conference
Of top French colonial and national
officials which met in Africa, 1914
Felix Ebeue, a Negro and governor
general of French Equatorial AT
RIGA, was host to the conference. He
drafted the policy which is expected
to remove French "Black Africa"
from the status of a dependent
area. Since Ebeue's death in Cairo,
Egypt, in December, France, has
continued to carry out the decisions
of the Brazzaville conference.
Again the tide was strengthened
by Soviet Russia's attitude in San
Francisco that self-government
and eventual independence for col
onial areas should be the policy of
the united nations organization.
This tide against the exploitation
of millions of black, brown and yell
low men in colonial areas is likely
to produce lasting results. Take At
RIGA for example.
Negroes in Africa are fast in
creasing their ability to resist col
onial abuses. The Negro African
press is highly vocal; unions are
fast growing in industrial areas,
and organizations to promote par
ticular health, education, or other
social projects are gaining healthy
support. The organized demand for
