African
(Continued from Page Onel

Africa had made violent objections
to his taking white wife and
queen.
The young chief told tribal
leaders upon his arrival that he
was still preparing to present his
case to the highest British Court
and if necessary to the United
Nations.
Meanwhile, the Sertese khama
case is taking on increasing I'M
poltance in British government
and Parliament circles. British
statesmen here are beginning TO
see and point out the grave and
serious damage done to the world
wide prestige of the British nation
as result Of lis conduct OF the
case.
The lifting of the five year exile
long enough to allow the young
chief TO return to the native cap
ital long enough for a five days
visit with his wife and queen is
seen as indicative of a possible
early change of policy with respect
to the case by the British govern
ment.
