Africans And Self Government
(FrOm Central Christian Advocate)

The pages of history clearly reveal that people
permanently be kept in servitude and subjection
said Dr. Ralph E. Dodge administrative secretary of the
Board of Missions in his recent report to the Board In
describing the basis for the upheavals in Africa, Dr.
Dodge said "The African people challenging the
domination of the white minority of the political upris
ing and the incorporation movement in the Union of
South Africa
1t is the opinion of Dr. Dodge that it is too early to
predict what the outcome of the non-cooperaon
ment will be- If the movement is not successful he thinks
it will probably be largely due to the lack of sufficiently
trained leaders among the Africans to direct it.
DR.. Dodge concludes "Ony at a tremendous cost
can we ignore the social conflict that is building up
throughout the continent between white settlers and
those of European groups In all probability, the only
way avoid eventual open conflict between these two
groups will be compromise that will recog
nize certain rights of each Certainly to ignore the pas
sonate request of the numerically superior African
muy opportunity to advance along with the rest
of the civilized world will lead to eventual disaster
Inherent in the statements of DR.. Dodge is the fact
that South Africa is part of the world revolution in
which men are no longer willing to be subjected and OPP
pressed because of race color nationality other arti
ca considerations The African must be given chance
for his development and opportunities to share more
fully in the of his native land Any approach
that does not take this into consideration will only make
for increased tensions and violent conflicts.

The jury deliberated nearly two
hours before freeing the youths.
Judge Dougherty told the three de-

Man upstairs
Gutknetcht was equally as in

plore the verdict.

NEW YORK-(GlobaD -Febru
ary is a great month for birthdays
and observances. We have Abra-
ham Lincoln, George Washington
Thomas Edison who were born
during February. But in addition
we have many other things to OBJ
serve-Negro History Week, Fin
err Womanhood Week, Brotherhood
Week, Prayer Week. Of course it
is true that we should try to prac-
tice these things every day. We
hear much about practicing broth
erly love, but before the month is
out we hear of people hating 9TH
ers. killing others and mistreatlng
their fellowman. Finer Woman
hood Week is fine, but how about
practicing it's principles every day,
instead of the envy, jealousy and
lust for power we see around US
always? And then, of course,
there is Prayer Week. When one
mentions praying every day, people
look upon him as some sort of ia
matte. We could do little more
/, studying the Bible-the number
one best seller-and practice what
we say we believe. And, of course
pray every day.
SCOUT WEEK also comes in
February and we might all learn
to live as the Scouts do-giving
more love, more time, more service,
more money, as we go along :.
