not agree to April 2, 1860, there
seems little doubt that the British
Government will suggest a date
close to it.
Meanwhile, Frances Gen. Char
les de Gaulle has concluded a tour
of French African possessions dur
ing which he held constitutional
discussions which hold out the pro-
mise at least of African self-gov-
eminent within a French-African
union, if not Of complete independ-
ence itself.
Terms Spelled Out
Aside from demonstrations in
the Senegalese city Of Dakar, Gen.
eral de Gaulle appears to have
been well received by Frances nom
white subjects. At various stops,
he assured his listeners that they
would be allowed to choose their
own future freely under the terms
of Frances new draft constitution,
which will be the subject of a
public referendum in late Septem-
Der.
However, General de Gaulle OBJ
viously hopes that his country's
Negro territories will elect to re-
main within a Community" of
metropolitan France and French
overseas possessions, albeit on a
self-government basis. He has not
barred the prospect of complete in
dependence, entirely divorced from
France itself, but has warned blunt
ly there will be little economic or
other assistance Forthcoming for
African territories which choose
this course.
Nevertheless, self government
within an overall French "com.
munity" represents major po-
litical advance for Frances Negro
peoples. Thus, although African
peoples often are highly elusive tc
the enumeration, it is probable there
are some 100000 Africans ir
French Africa and Nigeria who
are we'll on the way toward self
rule in the near future. Wher
they join the more than 100000

ence last year, probably about hall

may loom, however, Nigeria's AZ
rican peoples are pushing ahead
toward independence with cheerful
confidence. There seems little
doubt they soon will get it, eth
er.
Two big oil companies, for ex-
ample, have just donated 81, 400, 900
to the Nigerian federal government
as a gesture to mark Nigeria's
approaching independence" and to
be used to train Nigerian techni-
clans. Commerce in general, and
the oil companies in particular,
are often the best barometer to
the forthcoming political climate,
and it seems apparent that the
two companies involved-Shell and
British Petroleum-are convinced
that Nigerian independence is
both inevitable and imminent.
Already the companies are sup
porting at cost of some L TO-
900 annually, more than 80 Mig
erian students undergoing univer-
sity training.

the nonwhite people living in AZ

will thus be largely running their
own affairs.
Meanwhile, Nigeria's House Of
Representatives, or local parlia-
ment, recently adopted a motion
setting April 2, 1860, as the tar
get for independence. Nigeria's
federal Prime Minister is already
an African, Alhaji Abubaker Ia
fawa Balewa, and he has announc-
ed his intention of speeding up
the various steps which must be
taken before Nigerian sovereignty
can become reality.
Foremost among these is the
need for training more Nigerians
for some of the senior positions
in the country's civil service, for
the Nigerian diplomatic corps
which will have to be established,
and in technical positions. Many
senior posts in Nigeria are occu-
pied currently by British and other
white officials. 1t seems evident
that, like Ghana, Nigeria must
retain many of these officers for
some years after achieving indie
pendence until Africans are avail
able to replace them.
Even at the moment Nigeria is
short of both white skilled per-
sonnet as well as African. Va
cancies in the senior ranks of the
federal government service total
ed 848 at the beginning of this
year.
British Aides Vital
Thus in a white paper on re-
ional self-government issued by the
government in Nigeria's northern
region recently, it is stated clearly
that the exodus of British ("expat-
riate") officers twill be detrimen-
tai to the progress Of the region"
The regional government further
adds that the services of these ex-
patriate officers are "still required
after self-government" - an atti-
tude which it seems must logically
prevail throughout the whole of
Nigeria until sufficient skilled At
ricans are available to replace
white personnel.
