Germ is being expressed here over
the question of how South Africa's
Nationalist Government, with its

able to keep its white policemen
from causing incidents by demand
ing that. diplomatic representatives
from Ghana or Nigeria show
their "passes.
BY the end Of next year half
Africa's 220,000,000 inhabitants
will live in self-governing states.
In addition to the present ten in
dependent African states, Nigeria,
the Cameroons, Somalia and Togo

pendence in 1860.
