ton of Land-Grant Colleges and
Universities.
The land grant schools are SO
desienated because under an 1852
act Of Congress they received fed
eral lands In return for offering
courses in agriculture and the

one fifth Of American colleg stu.

One of the arguments used by
opponents Of federal aid to public
schools is that the federal govern
ment might determine what should

The federal scholarship program
advocated by the associations sen-
ate calls for a maximum payment
Of $3.50 q student year, with the
student to receive the money d.
r.ctly and choose his own school
and course of study.
Additional grants could be made
directly to schools for administra-
tive expenses. The association did
not estimate total cost Of the pro-

which is all good for business.
A government spokesman agreed
that Belgian policy is to keep "a
jump ahead" of African demands,
or ito give before it is taken away
from u.s." Till now, the accent has
been on speedy economic advance
ment, with no political develop
ment, on the grounds that Africans
are unready for it. Consequently
Africans, in common with the Con-
COS 10000 whites, get no vote and
the Congo is run from Brussels
through encouragement in
Leopoldville, the Congo capital.
Latterly, however, there has been
growing evidence of political a
wareness, particularly among At
ricans, in Leopoldville. And there
are some grounds for believing
that the Belgians may treat this
situation with that same flexibil-
ity for which they are noted in
meeting economic demands.
Law Study Planned
Within a few months they plan
to introduce law into the Congo's
two universities-a course Of study
which has been opposed in some
conservative quarters on the
grounds that it breeds agitators.
Additionally, plans are under
way for extension Of higher du-
cation facilities for Africans. And
in the Belgian-administered ter
ritory of Ruanda- Urundi, the first
elections have just been held for
representatives to local territorial
councils.
Then again, the Belgian admin
istration has not attempted to stifle
discussion of recent call for self
rule from a group of Leopoldville
African intellectuals.
Officially the Belgian aim is t.
create a "Belgian-Congolese com
munity" in the Congo. But there
is no desire to settle large white
population in the Congo. The ex
tremely practical Belgians admi

will be the far numerically greater
Africans who will decide the Con-
COS destiny.
To this end, although they will
not be tied down to a hard-and-
fast, long grange declaration of pol
icy, many Belgians state that their
object is to create such a fund of
good will among the Africans that
they will be favorably remembered
if control of the Congo should fall
into African hands.
But whatever their future, they
believe that with the prosperity
they have taught Africans to en-
joy through western skills, they
have for the moment made the
Congo, with it's strategic minerals,
a firm bastion against communism.
