sion yesterday overruled an
earlier decision by its trial ex-
aminer and ordered the Rem

representing savings obtained

Jules Hecht, vice president
in charge of the Washington

surprised by the FTC decision.
This decision goes against
the weight of the evidence, "

definitely going to appeal it to
the higher courts"

cember found Renaire not

food for the same amount as
they would pay for the same
quantity Of food in regular
stores. The corporation was
also charged with wrongly de-
Scribing its sales personnel as
expert food analysts" and
trained qualified food con-
sultants."
The commission upheld the
examiners dismissal Of charges

INDEPENDENCE COMING
| Comeroons History
Is PoIygIot Record
BY SMITH HEMPsTONE
Contributing Writar

YAoUNDE French Cameroons--on August T. 1877. King
Akwa the Ringing business Just south Of Mount
the west coast Of Africa wrote another monarch
Queen Victoria. follows:
Dearest Madam: We your servants have Join together
and thoughts better to write nice loving letter which

will tell you all about our
wishes. We want to have every
fashion altered, also We viii do
according to your consul's word.
plenty wars here in our coun-
try. Plenty murder and idol
worshippers."
King Akwa went on to ask
for British protection. But APP
parently the Queen was behind
on her mail; she never got
around to answering his letter.
But Others Noticed
Others were interested, how
yer, and it was only a few years
later that the Cameroons began
q long period of servitude under
various foreign masters that
only now appears to be ending.
The question of independence
on next January for the
French Cameroons is now be-
fore the United Nations Gen.
eral Assembly's Trusteeship
Committee and an answer-al-
most certain to be affirmative
lis due in a few weeks.
To catch up On the history
about the time King Akwa was
angling for British help, Bis
marck, the German Chancellor
sent DR.. Gustav Nachtigal OF
to West Africa. DR.. Nachtigal
was supposed to be on q bust
ness trip and nobody noticed
his slipping a couple Of hundred
treaty blanks into his luggage
with his spine-pad and sun he'll
met.
Now those were the dayi
when, If you felt like annexing
a chunk of Africa, it was con-
sidered sporting to let the other
enthusiasts, the British and the
French, know about 1t. Then
they could send their gunboats
racing for the same spot. 1t all
made for good reading in the
Sunday papers.
British Arrive
When the British finally
caught on to DR.. Nachtigal'S
mission, they sent an expedi-
ton. But when it arrived in
the Cameroons on July 10, 1888
the German flag was flying and
King Akwa was in no mood to
write any more loving letters.
DR.. Nachtigal had given him
$4,000 plus enough rum to keep
everybody on Mount Cameron
squiffed for a week.
This happy state of affairs
did not last very long and, a:
in their other African posses
sions, the Germans had to re.
sort to that old persuader, thu
bayonet. They fought 20 cam
paigns in one 12-year period.
When World War / brok,
out, the British chucked thl
Germans out of the Cameroonl
and confiscated their banani
plantations. After Versailles
France and Britain split thu
country and the German plant
ters bought back their estates
France got most of the rea
estate, a hunk as big as Cali
fornia in which 80 millior
