Perhaps this event more than
any other is q significant pointer
to the black mans ascendancy in
this continent, for when the more
than 81 900 900 Nigerians take over
their sovereign state, adding their
numbers to the already independ-
ent nations of Liberia, Ghana, and
Guinea, the number of self-govern-
ing Africans in this continent will
outnumber many times the to.ai
number of white settlers.
Although the Nigerian indie
pendence date to which Britain re-
portedly has agreed is some six
months later than that requested
by Nigerian leaders currently at
tending the constitutional talks in
London, it will likely be received
with great enthusiasm and salts
faction by the Nigerian people.
Thus the good will between Nj
geria and Britain, which has lat
terly been underlined by most COM
plimentary comments from Niger
ian members of the federal Par
lament, will likely remain unim-
paired at least during the early
days of independence.
Indeed, Nigeria's Prime Minister,
Alhaji Abubaker Tafawa Balewa,
has even gone on record as saving
that Nigeria will remain in the
British Commonwealth and, fur
thermore, has no intention of be-
coming a republic. This is much
firmer pledge of mo change" than
has been given by Ghana's Prime
Minister Kwame Nkrumah, who
during his recent visit to Cairo
said that his country is to seek re-
publican status, but still within
the Commonwealth.
Although DR.. Nkrumah has put
Ghana in the forefront of black
African affairs, an Independent Nj
geria, with it's large population and
considerable resources, may well
prove a challenge to Ghana's lead
ing role.

Shreveport.-Esso Standard Oil
Co. has reduced from to Is cents
per barrel the price it pays for
certain crude oil in Arkansas and
