 Spring came and with it came new grass and tender flowers: rain came and We all managed to scrub clean and partly cleaned our bedding and the few rags we wore as clothes.
 We were let out of the enclo- sure several times that spring to gather new grass and some of us also gathered flowers with it. We were not thinking of mak- ing the home more beautiful. as million people at home were doing. We were thinking of our hunger. The grass wasn't as good as greens but the flowers managed to season it to the point of being edible. By sum- ner we had managed to steal extra rice and some salt which We buried and when we were let out for grass tho or,eebo,,,-.

Malan regime, Nationalist policy
of aggressive territorial expansion
would come into conflict with cur
rent British and American i'm
perialist aims in Africa, the settle
ment said.
In conclusion, South African
leader, Professor z. K. Matthews,
was quoted as having said recently
that precisely because they expect
ed the worst from the Nationalist,
the African people are most eterm-
ined than ever to fight for their
rights.
The Council on African Affairs
also issued simultaneously a brief
review of the difficulties which
have arisen in the organization
since May 26 as a result of the re-
fusal of Max Yergan to obey a
resolution of the Councils Execu-
tive Board adopted on that date
suspending him as Executive Di-
rector of the organization.
The suspension of Yergan re-
suited from the Boards endorse
ment of detailed charges brought
against him by three members of
the Council citing evidence of his
unwillingness to continue militant
struggle against imperialist OPP
preston of Africa today, his neg
lect of duty, Encouragement of the
finances of the organization, and
arbitrary administration of the
Councils affairs.
The Councils statement further
declared that Yergan's unsuccess-
full resort to police action and
strong-arm tactics on several oc-
casions, and his statements to the
press concerning Council matters,
represented efforts to destroy the
reputation of the Council and dis
rupt its functioning; but that the
Councils work would nevertheless
be carried forward by it's officers
and members.
