One Of the Last Bostions Of Empire
Totters in Nyoso|ond's Troubles

Nyasaland, In the White High
lands Of Kenya, in Tanganyika, in
Uganda and in Rhodesia new BUSH
clad hills were bought. cleared and
planted with the best varieties Of
tea. Expertiy-run manufacturing
and packing plants to process the
tea crop have been set up. Nyasa-
land now sends some so million
pounds Of high-quality teas to the
Mincing Lane market Of London.
and has become the third largest
tea exporter in the world.
Tea production in Kenya and
elsewhere throughout British East

But the same tidal wave Of

On Berlin

A few words about Berlin. Some
statesmen and political leaders Of
the Western powers have said in
their statements that somebody
is going to prevent them from dis
charging their functions with re-
spect to West Berlin. This Is Q
misinterpretation Of our position.
We respect treaties and we
strictly observe them. It is for
this reason that we are propos-
ing that q peace treaty be con-
cluded.
AS to the agreements which gov
erned the administration and oc-
cupation of Germany, including
Berlin, they were all concluded
during the war and after the rout-
ing Of Germany. Naturally there
fore. when q peace treaty Is con-
cluded these agreements will
become null and void. for q peace
treaty will have come into force.
When O peace treaty Is con-
cluded with the two German
states, or with one. the agree
ment on the division Of Berlin
into sectors. and consequently on
its occupation, win become null
and void, once and for all.
To prevent Q painful break UP
Of the social and economic system
established in West Berlin, we
propose that 1t be given Q free
city status. which has been agreed
to by the Government Of the CDR
on whose territory Berlin Is sit
uated. $50
We are willing to draft q free
city status for Berlin and the
appropriate safeguards for the
maintenance Of this status in
common with the United States,
Britain and France so as to pre-
vent anyone's interference in the
affairs Of this free city and in
sure its independence, its neces-
sary business. cultural and other
connections with the countries of
the West and the East. The So
Wet Union, along with the United
States. Britain and France, is
willing to be one Of the guarantors
Of the free-city status of Berlin.
We also believe that the United
Nations should share in observing
the free-city status.

ALBUQUERQUE. N. Mex.-To
ITO special men. DR.. w. Randolph
Lovelace represents the power to
give one-just one-the chance to
play a role denied all other men
in history.
The man ultimately chosen will
be Americas first space traveller.
DR.. Lovelace's part in making
the choice is a crucial one. He is
chairman Of the National Aero
nautics and Space Administra-
tons Special Advisory Committee
on Life Sciences.
In this capacity. he is directing
each step Of testing and training
the ITO flying officers selected as
possible candidates for Project
Mercury, Americas manned satel-
lite venture. These men were
picked without their knowledge
because Of special characteristics
they possess qualifying them as
astronauts.
The group will be whitfield down
to IL and these dozen will undergo
months of intensive training. Not
until shortly before departure will
the final selection be made.
No man can anticipate what it
will be like to take the giant step
into the unknown. But DR.. Love-
lace knows from his own expert
ence something of what a man
goes through in subjecting himself
to experimentation.

old surgeon was the human guinea

On Germany

The Western powers suggest a

of the USSR. the United States.
Britain and France for q solution
of the German problem. In doing
so they envisage participation IN
the conference Of representatives
of the two German states with
deliberative powers which OF
course, to some extent. amounts
to de facto recognition OF the
real existence Of the two Ger

states Is recognized, one must rec

The Great Powers can only help
the two German states get closer.
with the object Of accomplishing
the national task Of the German
people-the reunification Of Ger

We have already said many
times, and we are saying 1t now.
that we will not solve the prob
lem of German reunification for
the Germans. We believe that 1t
Is not q matter for the four Great
Powers. and If we assumed such
a role it would infringe upon the
sovereignty Of the two German
states. This would amount to
gross interference in the internal
affairs Of the German people.
OF course, this does not mean
that we refuse to take part in
solving the German problem. On
the contrary. we are willing to
discuss with our wartime allies
questions Of preventing the two
German states from developing
along the path Of militarism and
creating threats to their neigh
bors, from engineering a third
world war which would be a
tremendous calamity for all man
kind But in no case do we agree
to discuss the question Of German
Identification. This is a matter
for the German states themselves

lie and the Federal Republic Of
Germany. Let the Germans them
selves sit down at a conference
table and solve this problem. We
will not interfere in Germany's
