Missionaries Planted Africd's
Future, U.N. Observer Reports
Pioneered In Education, Introduced New Products
And Processes And The Christian Concept

Hundreds of devout native
priests are working with white
missionaries effectively carrying
on apostolic and cultural work
throughout Africa. Africa's future
will be determined largely by
what the African himself takes
from the white civilization he
meets.
"The future leaders Of Africa
are being trained in the United
States, African students in our col
leges have not been sufficiently
welcome here. Their contacts, dis
illusionments and inspirations will
have an effect on the Africa of
the future"
Miss Zizzamia also urged that
courses in cultural geography be
set up IN us. colleges.
Technical assistance through
Point programs can do q great
deal Of good for Africa, but there
is a danger IN economic blueprints
which do not take the human fac
tor into consideration" Miss Ziz-
Zamia warned.
''Too rapid industrlahzation can
ruin people,
THE African is deeply and sin
cerely religious. Atheism, to him,
is nonsense. His gentle humor and
native intelligence are traits
which should help protect him
against dangerous outside influ-
ence and pressures."
The forum also heard brief
talk by the Rev Charles keenan,,
managing editor of America, who
emphasized the fact that the i'm.
preston of American democracy
gained by African students IN the
United States depends to large
extent upon the treatment which
they as Negroes receive here.
American practices of discrimina-
ton and segregation plant in their
minds distrust Of western ways. he
said.

ones food with another was
sin most displeasing to God.
Rather than be guilty of it the
people either would not eat or
else they would go out in search
of the hungry who might share
their bounty. Sometimes this vir-
tue is developed more highly IN
the natural order among pagans
than among some who are sup
posed to be Christian. Herodo-
tus, the great pre-Christian his
torian, tells how after he was
shipwrecked on barren coast,
strangers took him in, gave him
their best bed and even their
best food. 1t so endured in his
memory that he wrote a page
about it in his History. Among
the Moslems, when visitor
comes, and there is no food,
but only a single young lamb
in the possession of the host,
the Moslem will kill it for the
sake of hospitality to the strang-
rr.

the House that there was no doubt
that Mr. Cox will aim his shafts
at one particular foundation, the
Julius Rosenwald Foundation. He
quoted Cox as having said that
funds Of the Rosenwald Foundation
"were disbursed irresponsibily to
aid organizations which made 3
profession of stirring up class and
race dissension throughout the
South.
Cox denied that there was any
thing in the resolution "antagonis-
tic" to colored people. He said it
would please him if even larger
share of foundation funds went to
the aid of colored people.
AS an illustration of what the
foundations are doing, he cited
Langston Hughes, whom he called
an "atheistic" poet. He charged
that Hughes has been supported by
foundations since 1881, "and ever
now is enjoying a grant by the
Rockefeller Foundation.
After the committee is organ
lied, Cox said he would retire as
chairman. He also said he has
asked that Representative Brooks
Hays, Democrat, Of Arkansas, au-
thor of a civil rights compromise
program be named to the commit
tee.
Representative Arthur G.. Klein.
Democrat of New York, who voted
against the resolution, said he was
disturbed" because Cox "has ap-
parently already prejudged some of
the foundations which he proposes
to investigate"
He added that Cox 'is apparent
ly upset by the fact that some
foundations are today using their
funds to promote better race rela-
lions. He apparently is of the
opinion that this is American"
Representative Abrahab j. Null
ter, Democrat of New York, point
ed out that the Treasury Depart
ment had spent four years with a
special staff investigating founda-
tons and similar organizations
and took away tax exemptions
from those organizations which
could not Justify their right to
such tax exemptions.
Representative Hugh B. Mitchell,
Democrat, of Connecticut, told the
House that the vote in the Rules
Committee to report the Cox reso-
luton has rot been unanimous as
Cox had stated. He said there was
no formal vote in the Rules Com
mittee and both he and Represent
alive Ray j. Madden, Democrat, of
Indiana, were opposed to it.
In a vigorous defense of the Jul
Jus Rosenwald Foundation, Mr.. Gel
Ter said: when the julius Rosen-
wald Foundation centered it's at
tention on human relations, it con-
cerned itself primarily with dis
elimination against all peoples,
Jews, Negroes, Catholics, Mexicans,
every one-not out of favoritism
for any one group but out Of re-
gard for American democracy"
