MY AFRICA

II is not news these days when
somebody writes a book But it is
news when stark, hard decisive
challenge leaps from white pages
backed up with the quiet asser-
ton: For nature has made Africa
indispensable to civilization.
For seven years, Mbonu Dixie,
one of the fifty children of a
chieftain in Nigeria, has been
studying the white mans culture.
He has read his books and list
ened to his lectures; he has taken
degrees from his universities and
observed him at home and abroad.
Now, Mr.. Dixie steps forward and
without shame, pretense or apol-
ogy tells of My Africa.
Africa" he says. lis not
country. 1t is the second largest
continent, whose area is almost
twelve million square miles. You
could roll up China, India. and the
United tates and spread them like
carpets over Africa and still have
enough space to accommodate
the whole of Europe minus Rus

West to know the African as he
feels and as he thinks and be-
HAYES in conformity with his cul-
tural discipline With acquain.
lance, the West could be in ia
vorable position to appreciate the
the African, cultivate his friend
ship, and march joyfully with him
on the thorny road towards broth
erhood."
There is history in the book and
geography, rich material for the
anthropolOgist, the economist the
sociologist, but African culture is
at its core. 1T is this human way
of life in Africa that this book
is about"
These are not the days when
we would like to see others only
through our own cultural norms.
They are days when we have to
see other cultures through the So
cial norms of those cultures. They
are days of cultural liberalism, of
give and take, of compromise and
acculturation. For, if you hate me
because am black, | would hate
you because you are white .
without self-respect and mutual re-
spect, our exchange will be stupid
and dangerous"
And so he strikes out fearlessly
against all those invaders who
have destroyed and devitilized the
age-old culture of Africa. After
discussing the wealth of the land,
he says, We have learned through
the ages that free access to the
land is the key to all freedoms. "
The story of how the African
has been systematically, ruthless
ly and wholly robbed of his land
may not be new, but here reduced
to simple, human terms it be-
comes unforgettable. Summing up:

nave lost everything have moth
ing left with which to pay taxes.
They are the ones to be pitied.
Surely we don't any of US like
taxes. But this is our country.
Slaves do not pay taxes. They
work at the behest and for the
benefit of others. The conquered
do not pay taXes-they give trib-
ute. Only free men are taxed
only free men can support the
government that is their own.
Never king dropped out of the
clouds" No tyranny starts with
out someone paving the way.
Taxes are our insurance against
tyranny. Taxes are what we the
people pay for safety, for the
rights of all men. A government
of the people. by the people-a
government of freedom-needs the
support of all the people. There
are no privileged few when it
comes to taxes. The right to pay
for his own government is the
right of every freedom man.
Freedom claims an active effort
from each citizen-we have no in
dividual rights that are not in
some sense modified by the de-
mand for collective security and
collective prosperity. The success
of our efforts will be dependent
more upon our willingness to
make sacrifices to back them up
than upon the perfection of any
machinery. Taxes, freely and
cheerfully paid-are proof of our
sincerity of purpose.

spite many excellent items in his
public record we urge you take
notice his opposition to cloture
on both Fair Employment Prac-
tice Commission and Anti-Poll
Tax legislation and his vote to
override presidential veto of
Smith-Connally bill These mat
tiers are particularly important to
country as a whole but even more

One lady returning home, not
feeling the shock, saw a man run
ming out of a house scantily at
tired with one garment in his
hand. She out-ran the man.
Another, recognizing the quake.

When it was past, she sat down

One brave man, remembering

Two permits to erect cellar foundations were also issued, valued at eeOO.

Hits Lowest Point Since Last April

Additional government restric- tons on un-essential construction which went into effect during Aug ust caused a drop in non-residen- tial building in the city to the lowest point since April, Building Inspector John T. Hartley afl- nounced as he issued the month- ly report of the Building Depart nent for October.
 Non-residentiai construction toe tailed only S33,000 for % permits, one-fourth that of September when the value hit el2o,42b. In April, the lowest month of the year, the construction was only S1s s,32O.
 The government's attempt to de vert materials into veterans hous- ing appears to be meeting with some success. Hartley said that supplies for homes are coming into the city "a little better" than they have in the past.
 Although still remaining at high level, residential construction took a slight drop in October. The 52 permits Issued were valued at S2O6, 100, while in September, 5I permits totalled $2l2,025. Permits affording accommodations for Ss families were obtained from the building inspector in October. n September, the permits issued vii afford accommodations for 36 fam flies when all construction is com plete,

Policy of NY. Daily News

NEW YORK-The long smolder-
ing resentment Of many years du-
ration of a large section of the
population of New York City
against the anti-Jewish and anti
Negro bias in the columns of the
Daily News came to a dramatic
head this week when the American
Jewish Congress presented it's case
against the News at a hearing on
the newspapers application for
an FIN license.
Despite the fact that Congress
was not an applicant for an FIN
licese and therefore not a party
to the hearing, the Federal Com
munications Commissions reversed
its earlier decision and permitted
the AJC to intervene and cross
examine officials of the Daily
News on anti-Semitic and anti
Negro articles which it has pub
lished. In two full days Of testi-
mony the AJC presented an air.
tight case to prove a consistent
policy of bias on the part of New
York's largest tabloid newspaper
Setting a new pattern in the
fight against discrimination and
bigotry in New York City, this
was the firt time that documen-
tary and statistical evidence that
