question. He was asked why the
African bloc now pursues a neut-
ralist position as between the Sow
let and the West.
He told his questioners that the
African people generally lean to
ward the West but that the prac-
tees of the colonial powers and
other western nations endanger
that friendship.
When asked why the Africans
were in such a hurry for indie
pendence he retorted that he did
not think they were in a hurry
but wanted now the same right
to determine their own destinies
as others enjoy.
He secuted the theory that the
African natives should not have
their independence because OF the
high illiteracy rate. He said the
Africans wanted their freedom &C
cording to the standards and terms
they themselves set rather than
those which the colonial powers
and their friends have arbitrarily
set up.
The 20 year old Kenyan explain
ed that the African native MEM
bers of the Kenya Parliament have
boycotted the sessions because
they want the Constitution al
tered to give the majority group
more voice in the government of
Kenya.
Mboya said the segregation
issue in the United States has
harmed the prestige of this count
ry all over Africa. He said when
such things as the Little Rock
incident occur the African people
are moved to doubt the sincerity
Of Americas democracy.
He said that he criticised both
the West and Russia for violation
of the freedom Of people. He said
Frances treatment of the Alger-
ian was on the level of Russia s
treatment Of Hungary.
Mboya, a very personable man
only 20 years of age, seemed to
have the mind Of a man many
years older. Completely poised he
deftly answered with a smile the
most caustic inquiries about what
African nationalists want.
One significant point he made
was that the black African nation
alists had no desire to see whites
who are native to African or
who have settled in Africa leave
there.
ANY man white or black who
wants to become an African and
abide by the African constitutions
will be welcome and have the same
rights as the natives when they
reach power, Mboya said.

BY w. e. DAHIQUIsT

Cairo, Sunday, March 22.-My
time in Cairo has been spent large
ly in sightseeing, part of it on
my own and part of 1t under the
direction of guides. have visited
the Museum and I have a lot of
information about King Alexander
First and the End. I wanted to
know few things about Alexander
the LIST, whose teacher, Aristotle,
was once embarrassed, so the Cos
sips had it, by the unexpected ap-
pearance Of young Alex who took
exception to the kind of a game
his teacher was playing with his
light of love, Phyllis. I always
liked the classic reply of the in
structor who justified his conduct
something like this: II have eau
toned you about the danger of
women, who have made fools of
many wise men. I have tried to
convince you Of this by precept.
I therefore prove it to you now by
example" Well the guide didn't
know anything about Alexander
the LIST and I didn't give a boot
about Alexander the End so my
visit to the Museum will not be
remembered by me as a highlight
of my visit to Egypt.
King Tut must have been quite
a fellow, judging by the space
they have allowed him at the Mus
cum. His collins took up lot of
room. First class funerals must
have been terrifically expensive in
those days. But, come to think of
it, our undertakers seem to be
doing fairly well for themselves.
I do not regret the cost of a
visit to the pyramids. These mon
umental tombs are the only sur
vivors of the seven wonders of
the ancient world, and was one
guided tour about which I will
always have a pleasant memory.

representing Nigeria, Ghana. Ken
va, Liberia, Uganda, Nyasaland,
Somala and Ethiopia, appeared at
the British Embassy Tuesday to
present a resolution urging the
British to give the colonies in
East and Central Africa their po-
itical independence.
Before the petition could be pre-
sented, however, the police inform
ed them that no such action could
be taken without first setting up
an appointment with some of the
officials at the Embassy.
Ordered Away By Police
They were also informed that
they must be 500 feet away from
the Embassy to picket. The de-
signated distance marked off by
Metropolitan policemen placed
the picketers so far away that
they could not possibly be seen
from the Embassy.
But they lined up on either side
Of Massachusetts, Avenue and held
their signs high for passing motor
lists to see. The placards carried
such slogans as Hands off AZ
rica," Long Live African Ma
tionalism," I'VE Cry to the World
for Sympathy on the Unarmed
Freedom Loving Africans Aspir-
atoms" "WeIlinsky Partnership
is Another South African Apart
held" and I'VE Believe in Pan
African and African Solidarity"
Charge Massacre OF "a Africans
The petition drawn up by the
members of the All African Stu
dents Union of the Americas
warned the British of the shock
they had suffered at the massacre
Of more than 81 virtually unarmed
Africans in the Central African
Federation by their troops when
the Africans had committed no
crime except to demand political
rights.
They stated that they were SER
iously alarmed at the unconscion-
able arrest and detention of DR..
Hastings Banda and many other
African leaders without charges,
and the failing of hundreds of
other Africans in the Central AZ
rican Federation without trial.
They expressed outrage at the
baseless charge of a massacre
plot" against Africans trumped
up by Governor Armitage of Ny
ashland in collision with Sir Roy
Wellinsky, Prime Minister of the
Federation, while no Europeans
were murdered.
Protest Ban On National Congress
They were revoltingly appalled,"
they said, at the banning of the
African National Congress in N.Y.
ashland, the Gambia National Con-
gress in Northern Rhodesia, the
African National Congress in
Southern Rhodesia and the pros
cription Of the African political
press in the Federation.
Highly grieved that Britain who
had so irrevocably supported free
dom-fighters in Hungary and Tib-
ct would stand idly by while her
agents in the Central African Fed

seekers with British bayonets, the
African students registered a pro-
test to Her Majesty's Government
