Atlantic Monthly
Critical Of BeIgion
Policy In Congo

Boston (ANP) - In a special
report on the troubled Belgian
Congo, scene of bitter rioting in
January of this year, editors of
the Atlantic Monthly castigate the
policies of the Belgians.
The political dissatisfaction of
the Congolese," the April issue
says, lis no new phenomenon. To
find similar incidents one does not
have to go back to the grim abus-
es during the period of the rubber
and ivory trade, which were the
targets Of the Congo Reform as
ISOLATION at the turn of the CEN
tury."
The magazine cites the but

Haut Katanga - which employs
$4,000 Africans and exports urani-
UNI ore to the United States
back in 1912 when 80 workers
were killed for daring to ask for
a salary increase Of so centimes a
day as labor's share of the COM
pany's enormous war profits"
Next it relates the killings" at
Lubuta and Masisi in the Eastern
Congo in 1913; the execution of
the African policemen who revolt
ed also in 1912 at Luluabourg, the
capital Of the Kasai, as well as the
shootings at Matadi, in the Lower
Congo, in 1914.
Atlantic's editors advance the
opinion that the common cause
of these diverse explosions" can
be traced to the stubborn insist.

CIVIL RIGHTS MEASURE
DIES IN UTAH
SENATE COMMITTEE

Salt Lake City, Utah (ANP)-
An NAACP-sponsored civil rights
bill, passed by the lower house Of
the state legislature, has been al
lowed to die in committee in the
Senate, Everett P. Brandon, the
Associations West Coast regional
field secretary, reported this week.
An active campaign, he asserted
had aroused enough statewide sup
port to insure passage Of the bill
had it been allowed to come to a
vote in the Senate. The lower house
passed the bill by a vote Of 50 to
IL. All the major religious bodies,
except the Mormon Church, sup
ported the measure, he said.

labor union leader cites the fact
that artificial political barriers, es-
tablished by different colonial
powers, have in the past prevented
the economy unity of territories
whose economies could be compile
mentary.
MbOya Is aware of the infIu-
ence of the United Nations and
the general concern Of the rest
of the world for the political and
economic development Of Africa
and the total effect upon changes
in once-ri rigid colonial policies.
The establishment Of the UN
Economic Commission for Africa"
he asserts, can be regarded as
the evident recognition by all that
Africa must be treated as a whole
and not in isolated parts.
This will not only lead to great
er coordinated planning, but, even
more important, it will open the
doors to additional technical as
sistance and sources of capital for
investment"
The African leader contrasts the
economic development Of Africans
in West and East Africa and notes
that Africans in West Africa have
made greater political and econ
omic progress than their brothers
in East Africa.
He draws attention to the fact
that in the troubled areas Of East
and Central Africa the economic
balance has been deliberately tip
ped in favor of the white settlers.
He cites land alienation In
Kenya, Nyasaland, the Rhodes
Ians.
The growing of cash crops,
he notes, lis mainly in the hand
Of the white settlers.

Granger Urges US.
To Help Africo
In Freedom FIGHT
BY ALICE A. DUNNIGAN


Washington (ANP) - If we, in
America, should help Africa solve
her problems we would really be
helping ourselves, declared Lester
Granger, Executive Secretary of
the National Urban League.
Addressing the 21st Annual Din
ner of the Washington League,
Wednesday, Granger reminded this
country that it had almost lost
Asia. The 6OO-million Chinese furn-
ish a dangerous battle, he said,
not only physical but also in our
minds.
II we had the 2OO-million Az
ricans on our side they would furn-
ish an additional counter balance
which would help US feel more Sc
cure.
Lack OF Understanding
Too few Americans understand
Africa today, continued the Urban
League executive. Too many are
talking about Africa the wrong
way. Too many are looking at Az
RIGA as a reservoir Of manpower
that can help us in time of war
Or we are looking at her tremend-
Gus amount of natural resources
that have not yet been tapped.
But Africa is fighting for liberia
ton and anything can happen in
Africa If we should take a wrong
stand for freedom" mot Democ-
racy - but freedom" emphasized
Granger.
America could work with Africa
in a way that would make the
world take notice Of the effective
/ ness of international teamwork. 4"
Black Africa could move forward
faster with the help of our leader
ship - mot under our guidance. I"
U. S. Most Solve Own Problems
First
But first America must solve
her own racial problems before
she can help other countries, es-
pecially Asia, solve theirs. We
must prove to Asia that Democ-
racy can be meaningful. People of
dark skins in the other parts of
the world want to know how they
can trust the United States when
the American minorities cannot
trust their own government.
Granger based his conclusions
on observations made during his
recent trip abroad. During his
three-month stay overseas, he
travelled 10000 miles covering
East Africa. South Asia, India
and Africa, reviewing the condi-
tions of these countries so that he
might have ready answers of
questions at hand"

at Accra and in the same month
the UN Economic Commission for
Africa was established.
The Africans part in this de-
velopment will increase as more

in 1855. Mr., chheng told the
Wesley Foundation he was still
in school. 1t continued to give
him money and Mr.. Chheng
said he felt a great sense OF
guilt.
He said he once applied for
a university student loan, but
had been turned down because
he was no longer a student.
Realizing his student visa
was no longer valid, Mr..
Chheng said he was afraid Of
deportation.
Mr.. Ransom said the founda-
ton grant probably would be
open to Mr.. Chheng. Dean Rea
said the university would try
10 make 1t possible for the stu
dent to resume classes.
II would like TO, If ! could,
continue my studies here after
I work and make some money"
said Mr.. Chheng.
The student said he never
considered his foraging for food
stealing. 1T was something
the people had left" he said.

"They weren't going to use IT,"
He said on one early morning
excursion he nearly was caught.
He said a woman had come to
the church early TO help pre-
pare for some festivity. She
opened a kitchen door and saw
him standing there. She
screamed and ran. He returned
to the caves.
Mr.. Chheng's hiding place
was in the rafters above the
church ceiling. near where the
roof and the walls meet. His
bed was an old pew cushion,
over which he had rugged a
paper tent TO keep out the
dust" in the unused loft.
An extension cord provided
light for his pillow and gave
him power for his radio. To
ward of winter cold he had
two blankets and some old
clothing taken from an ac-
emulation in a church cloth
ing drive. He also had a little
paper fan for the sitting heat
of August.

on regaining what Germany
lost in the war and exacting
revenge.
Here you err basically," the
chancellor said. II don't see

the start. I didn't have the
courage to do 1t myself"
The student said he matched
a little corner under the caves
with paper to keep dust from
falling on him as he slept.
The Rev. Eugene A. Ran
som, pastor OF the church, had
worried, asked and written
about Mr.. Chheng during the
four years.
University officials said the
student probably disappeared
on the week end Of October
80 in 1855.
Had Sense Of Guilt
Some time later he had been
reported missing to authorities.
