Nigeria's slogan is "Indepen-

majorities, most of them elected on
the basis of universal adult suffrage.

Lately we have been reading about
the struggle for the control of

control of the New York Central
Railroad pass into the hands of
Robert r. Young after a big proxy

names to couture with: Ford, Du-
pont, Mellon, Carnegie, Morgan,
Rockefeller, Edison and many, many
others whose works survive.
One recalls, too, the struggle for
the Northern Pacific and other rail-
roads: Hartman, Gould, Fisk, Van
derbilt and the many more whom
the muckrakers called robber barons
and whom ''T. R." labeled "male-
factors of great wealth." Henry
Demarest Lloyd termed the issue
wealth versus commonwealth"
Louis d. Brandeis told how the

Colonialism and racialism occupy,
quite naturally, high priority in
the list of topics to be discussed at
the conference of thirty African
Asian countries which convenes at
Bandung, Indonesia, tomorrow.
These two topics are closely inter-
twined since most colonial powers
are white and their colonial sub
jects colored.
Racialism is not entirely pattern
Of white VS.. colored, nor is the West
alone vulnerable to attacks against
colonialism. Chinese and Indian
merchants and traders in Malaga
and Indonesia, East and South
Africa. respectively, sometimes
exploit Africans as much as do
white merchants and traders. The
peoples Of the satellite countries of
Russia have little more voice in
their own government than do the
inhabitants of most of the trust and
non-self -governing territories under
the rule Of Western nations. Con-
tiguous colonialism Is not neces-
sarily more virtuous than salt
water" colonialism. It remains none
theless true that the remnants of
white dominion over colored peoples
provide abundant ammunition for
the criticism of the West by dele
gates to the Bandung Conference.
Especially since World War II,
colored peoples In Asia have lib
Grated themselves from colonial rule.
Some 900 millions in India. Pakistan,
Indonesia, Burma, and Ceylon are
now independent. Laos and Cam
bodia have large share of indie
pendence. Southern Wet Nam, Ma
laya, Netherlands New Guinea,
Papua, Hong Kong and the trust
territories inN the Pacific are the
principal areas in the East that still
lag behind in this mid-century pro-
gression toward independence or
Self-government.
Africa thus remains the last
stronghold of colonialism. One may,
therefore. expect that Africa, rather
than Asia. will be the main target
Of the criticism at Banding of
colonialisn and racialism. While
the West will suffer some sledge-
hammer blows, the credit side of
the ledger Is brighter than Is gener-
ally known.
The accompanying map Of Africa,
showing the extent to which afri-
cans share in their own government,
reveals graphically the balance
sheet of colonialism and independ-
ence or self-government. BY Afri-
cans are meant the inhabitants
prior to the coming of the modern
white man, say about 1450. These
Africans are the multicolored
white" people north of the Sahara
and the "black" people (some of
them almost as white as the white
people north of the Sahara) south
of the Sahara. They number some
100 million by contrast to the fewer
than 4 million modern whites and
their descendants and the fewer
than / million Asian and other
.colored immigrants.

Junior Partners

Tanganyika. a British trust ter
ritory, is a good example of the
limited participation by Africans in
their own government. Seventeen
thousand whites. $4,000 Indians and
rs million Africans have the same
number of unofficial representatives
on the legislative council. But all
the q official representatives must
be whites of British descent. Com
parable conditions prevail in Gam
bia, Bechuanaland, Basutoland,
Swaziland and Italian Somaliland.
Until the larger measure of self
government promised recently by
France to Tunisia and Morocco
become realities, these protectorates
must likewise be included in this
category.

A Security Exchange Commission

Of the country's 200 largest corpora

was not always confined to one In

The Du Point family held some

The Mellon family controlled sig

financial companies.
Rockefeller family influence was
found in 81 companies in oil, rail-
reading. steel, etc.
The chips of the finance game are

But the stakes are o lot higher than
