Extension Tie Up
In Ohio Sims

COLUMBUS-There is no legal
tie-up or agreement between the
states cooperative extension ser
vic and Farm Bureau, John w.
Sims, executive secretary, Ohio
Farm Bureau Federation, declared
here this week.
Sims issued public statement
in order to clarity this states pos
ition on the bill (H. r. 3222,) pro-
posed by Rep. Granger of Utah.
The measure would sever Farm
Bureau connections with exten-
sion services in the few states
where a cleavage does exist.
In Ohio there is no legal tie
up or agreement between tn Co.
operative Extension Service and
Farm Bureau. Both voluntarily CO.
operate and correlate their efforts
in the interest of Ohio farmers,
Sims pointed out.
while we prefer to operate in
Ohio without any legal agreement
between the two, other states
have found such agreements of
great Importance in developing and
carrying forth an effective educat-
ional program"
The farm executive asserted
that the individual states should
be allowed to decide how they
want their state extension services
to operate.
THE federal government should
not tamper with the law as pro-
posed under the Granger Bill,

say that such a step is long over

Why Seretse
Khama Was
Tricked Into Exile
BY w. f. B. Du ROIS


(This is the second and last Of
two series on why the young
African Chief was tricked into
leaving his white wife to come
to England, by the eminent au-
thority on Colonial history, Dr..
Du Bots, written exclusively ~
ATLAS NEWS SERvICEX
NEW YORK - The English
sought some reason to keep the
young Chief, Seretse Khama from
ruling. They tricked him into leav-
ing South Africa for England, and
then refused a visa to return. He
was to stay in exile for five years,
and on salary furnished by the
British government. This, Seretse
refused to do, and declares that he
is going to return to his kingdom.
This series of incidents marks
the beginning of independence of
Africa, which is coming in this
century. All over Africa, the tribes
are stirring; in West Africa, they
are demanding independence of
Britain; in French Africa, they are
organizing an independent state
within the proposed French Union;
in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, they
are demanding autonomy; and in
East Africa and even in the Bel
gian Congo, they are beginning to
demand recognition.
Some incident like this in Bech-
uanaland, is going to light the
fire which will eventually drive
the white man from Africa, just
as he has been driven out of Asia
The Union of South Africa, with
its gold and diamonds in which the
whole white world has invested
does not believe anything of this
sort can possibly happen. They de-
pend on white investors to stop it
But this last stand Of colonial and
financial Imperialism in Africa is
bound to end and today it is q
greater threat of war than the
Iron Curtain, or the Atom Bomb.
