nations may be compelled to seek
Soviet aid.
To date, Africa has been low
on the list for both governmental
aid and private investment from
the United States, despite the fact
that many American enterprises
which have entered the African
sphere have been able to amortize
their capital and make substantial
profits over relatively short Pc
RODS.
However, the past year has seen
signs Of increased American finan-
cial interest in q country such as
the Union of South Africa, for ex-
ample. The American financier
Charles w. Engelhard has been
active in South Africa for some
years and recently played a major
role in the flotation of $33, $780,
600 American company to invest
in South African gold and indus
trial shares.
u. s. Investment Scars
In the past, American invest
ment in South Africa has been
largely overshadowed by that from
Britain, which has been the basis

and Damascus. He was Personal
Representative Of the President
with the rank Of Minister On the
Special United States Diplomatic
Mission to the Kingdom Of Nepal
in 1947, and was appointed AM
bassador to Ceylon, remaining
there until 1868 when he was trans
ferred to Tangier, Morocco, rs
United States Diplomatic Agent
with the rank of Minister. He
was named Ambassador to Burma
in 1866 and held that position I'M
til his return to Washington in
1867.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1959-01-17

period rose by only 8.4 per cent.
South Africa is, of course, the
most industrialized nation in At
RIGA and though the economic out
look here, as elsewhere in the con-
tinent, is favorable, there never
theless has been "flattening out"
in development, as the experts call
it, following the boom in the years
Immediately succeeding World War
III.
Although the government runs
such undertakings as railways,
anyways, and harbors, the economy
is based on private enterprise, and
"as long as no restrictions are
placed on enterprise, incentive, and
effort" says the Association Of
Chambers of Commerce in its re-
view of 1858, "the prospects for
the expansion of the economy and
the consequent constant increase
of earnings, production, and con-
sumption and welfare are great"
The association does refer, how
ever, to the shortage of skilled i'm
migrants and to occasional short
ages of non-white unskilled labor,
and also joins issue with the gov
eminent over it's policy of reserv-
ing certain jobs for certain races.
Meanwhile, although South AT
rican diamond mines have faced
reduced sales in the United States
this year as a result of the Amer
lean recession, and although cop
per mines in both the Rhodesias
and the Belgian Congo suffered
lower profits through the Wholesale
drop in copper prices, Africa as
whole appears to have escaped any
serious repercussions from the
American recession.
Thus although some areas now
are entering a period of consoli-
dation after boom years, the over
all outlook appears promising. And
what Africa really needs is more
outside stimulation to keep the
wheels of progress turning ever
faster.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1959-01-17

The Rhodesian Federation has
shown itself particularly amenable
to American investment, so much
so that it has readily received a
permanent American investment
counselor established by the In
ternational Cooperation Admin
istration in the Rhodesian capital
of Salisbury.
What then is the overall inn
preston which energies as 1858
draws to it's close? 1t is a pic
ture of Black Africa, south of the
Sahara, ripe and eager for de-
velopment, but picture too of an
Africa to which the overseas en-
terprise and capital necessary to
stimulate this development is not
flowing as generously as it per-
haps is required.
Leveling-Off Period
Thus, speaking of even the
American export performance to
Africa, the United States Depart
ment of Commerce was recently
compelled to complain: Lack of
attention to Africa as a special
lied market, inadequate market
ing surveys, and Indifferent sales
promotion are some of the reasons
given for weak United States ex-
port performance in the area"
Thus while total South African
imports rose by lib per cent be-
tween 1856 and 1857, purchases
from the United States during this

of SouthAfrica's industrial develop

of SouthAfrica's industrial develop
ment.
Nevertheless, American automo-
bile assembly plants, an oil refin-
cry, and interest in mining have
edged the total American invest
ment steadily upward in the post
World War ii years. In 1943, for
example, official figures set the
book value of American investment
in the Union at less than 100000
900, of which more than $5O,0OO,-
900 was in direct investments, $780,
OOO, 900 in securities, 100000 in
real property, and less than $1O,-
00O,0 900 in all other types of prop
erty.
The United States next most
important investment area in At
RIGA after the Union is Liberia,
with which American connections
always have been strong, and prob
ably after that the Rhodesian Fed
Grafton, where in the two years
between 1852 and 1854, American
investment nearly doubled to fig
ure in the region of $50,O00,000.
This is due largely to the inter-
est of the American Metal Com
pany in the big mining concern,
the Rhodesian Selection Trust, but
such firms as Johns Manville, Un-
ion Carbide, Ingersoll Rand, East
man Kodak, Standard Vacuum, and
Californian Texas Oil have inter-
ests in the federation. olrv ~
