don't think it is impossible.
Africa has both resources and
human material making excellent
opportunities for both African
md American capital.
Our help was a long time in
coming; although the support we
have given them has helped Lii
IBERIA to preserve her independ-
nc. but it did not keep Britain
or France from grabbing about
half Of the original territory.
Mr.. w. v. S. Tubman who in
1914 became President of Liberia
and whose term will last until
1852, Is fast bec9ming one of
Africa's outstanding statesmen.
He has done many things to help
Liberia. He admired the late Pre-
sident Roosevelt, and resembles
him in his wholhearted liking for
people. He has a great goal in
view, and has accomplished much
in a short time. He wants to wipe
out the class differences, giving
all Of the people equal rights, o.
portunities and social status.
In the he4p that we have given
them one of the biggest surprises
was how quickly and enthusiast
tically the people took to the new
ideas and new methods which has
been carried out. Referring back
to DR.. Mcmillan I often hear him
tell how eager the natives r to
learn. Their pent up souls burst
forth with surprising alacrity
with little encouragement.
There r no people who are
productive unless thy r free.
Without freedom no one can be
what they want to be or what
they ought to be. Freedom is the
highest Of all possessions and the
most creative Of all virtues.
Africa wants her freedom, not
charity. She wants cooperation
and seh4detaf limitation, not do
mination, or paternalism. Free
dom is indivisible and they want
freedom-to be their own master.

He looked forward to future day
when the United States might find
herself alone against hostile world,
as England was after the fall of
France.
II am convinced that the world
has got to find way to settle diff
ferences peacefully" Gen. Eisen-
hover said. WARS are emergencies.
They come on unexpectedly. In the
past we've had allies and factors
which gave US ample time to pre-
pare. This holds true today, but
perhaps it will not in future years.
"In recognition of this we have
one staff in Washington whose job
it is to deal with scientists for the
future superblitz age. These mems
only job is to contact these sci
entists and learn what may be
ahead"
The general said he believed in
the amalgamation of all military
services, but that this effort turned
out to be service fight and I don't
believe in service fights" He said
wars had to be fought with mutual
friendship among the various serv-
ices.

BATAVIA, Java, Jan. s. The
Dutch Army reported today that
serious clashes had occurred at
Medan, Sumatra, and that the mill
.itary situation elsewhere in Sumatra
was growing worse in spite of an
