the violent protests of the white
settlers. Hopelessly outnumbered,
the settlers seem to feel that they
must guard jcalously every single
inch Of their domain and domina-
ton. Their failure to yield some
thing may result in their losing
everything.
AS AMP dispatches have point
ed out, the long-range aspect of
the struggle runs against the white
man. He is on foreign soil,
whether he will acknowledge it or
not, and he is outnumbered, and
this he will admit. Many white
farmers have been financially
wiped out because they have spent
so much time fighting the Mau
Mau, they have been forced to
neglect their farms.
Not to be forgotten is London
and Moscow-trained Jomo Ken
yatta. Cooling his heels in a Brit
ish confinement somewhere in
kenya, Kenyatta is the symbol of
new Africa to many natives. An
observer put it this way:
HE belongs to those who chal-
lenge routine and an order based
on the accidents of history and for
whose ideals, even if half under
stood or in fact unclear, men are
prepared to die"
The essence of Kenyatta's mes
sage is that society concerned
primarily with the needs and de-
sires of the white man has no
meaning for Africa and Africans.
In a wierd mixture of Ghandi,
Marx and Kropotkin, he has taught
that in the ancient intimacy of
African tribal life and African
morality and customs lie the seeds
of the future Africa.
AS correspondent for the New
York Times said:
He has somewhat mystic
vision of an Africa based on the
African spirit and designed for the
fulfillment of African aspirations"
Two years now have moved on
since the long, anguished wall of
Drive the White Man Out"
echoed through the Kenya coun-
tryside. Kenya is now an armed
camp. 1t is embroiled in a war
that all Africa watches and which
all white Africa fears.

Kenya. But the lands were not
empty. They were Kikuyu lands

old customs.
The whites, proceeding to oper-
ate on the "empty land" idea,
have taken most of the good lands,
appropriating it for their own uses
and 20 the total exclusion of the
Africans.
The 1000 white settlers are own
ers and managers of 10000 square
miles of white" reserve in the
rich green highlands. The Kikuyu
tribe of 10000 has to make out
as hest it can on 1000 square miles
of land in the richest farm area

This, in nutshell, excluding
other subsidiary issues, is the
Kenya problem and the reason for
Mau Mau. 1t is about the same
problem which faced the American
Indian when the white man invad-
ed what is now the United States.

leading Negro weekly, says that
Joe johnson, convicted for solicit
ing funds on government property
and scheduled to begin a seven
month prison term, listed four
points to support his assertion
that johnson did not represent the
regular organization.
The letter from the National
Committeeman follows:
Republican National Committee
1925 / Street, Northwest,
Washington 6, D. c.
November /, 1854.
Mr.. Percy l.. Greene,
Jackson, Mississippi.
Dear Mr.. Greene:
AS a subscriber to your paper,
l read with amazement your dis
play of an announcement that
Johnson was recently convicted of
soliciting funds on Government
premises and was said to be a
state leader of the regular organi-
cation.
In order to set the record
straight, we wish to make the fol-
lowing brief statement:
1. Mr.. Johnson did not represent
the State organization or anyone
in it, as he was only engaged in
local activities.
2. He was certainly not soliciting
for our State organization.
3. The funds for the National
Committees maintenance and the
maintenance of the State organi-
cation are solicited directly by the
State Committee by mail.
4. Our State Chairman, Mr.. S.
w. Miller, is also our State Fin
ance Chairman, as provided under
the rules of the National Commit
tee and he is the only one who has
authority to raise funds in the
State and he did not authorize Mr..
Johnson to do any soliciting.
Thanking you in advance for
this correction, / am
Sincerely yours,
Perry w. Howard.

While the pumpkin pie always
has been Synonymous with the

changed its appearance and taste
much more drastically over the
years than has it's mince-meat
cousin.
Shortly after the Pilgrims ar
rived in the New World, failure
of the grain crops resulted in a
shortage of -four for pastry.
However, their craving for bak-
cry delicacies was satisfied be-
cause of the never-failing pump
kin crop which the Indians had
taught them to raise. Pilgrim
women used pumpkin -four to
make pastry goods and the filling
also was made from the pumpkin
after it had been cooked and
sweetened with sugar and honey.

1t was not until the sea trade,
on which the early colonists de-
pended, was free to bring in the
spices of the West Indies and the
Orient, that the pumpkin pie be-
gan to taste anything like it does
today. And it was the early Penn
sylvania Dutch cooks who are
credited with developing the fiat
pie as we know it now and with
making the greatest improve
ments in all types of pies.

Always considered an essential
part in the Christmas observ-

were more of a main course than
dessert. They contained large
portion of boiled pork mixed with
minced dates, cloves, mace, rails

reign of King Henry V.
Boiled pork was replaced by
finely shredded mutton as the
chief ingredient in the mince-
meat pies at the time of Henry

of dough were used to line large
deep-sided dishes and this in turn
was covered with another layer
