Argentine warships in May,

ACCRA, Ghana.-Not every
Of Prime Minister Kwame
Ghanaian worships at the feet
of Prime Minister Kwane
Nkrumah, the man who des-
cribes himself on his country's
coins as Founder Of Ghana. a"
The leader Of the opposition
United Party in Ghana's Par
lament, Kofi Busia, recently
fed to London. where he
charged that the Accra govern
ment is seriously trying to
wipe out the opposition"
He said his country is rap
idly becoming a dictatorship"
under the government Of DR..
Nkrumah.
Mr.. Busia said he escaped
arrest by outwitting the Ghana
police and boarding a ship for
London at the port Of Freetown
in neighboring Sierra Leone.
The 45-year-old Mr.. Busia, a
Observation-Disclosures socioligist,
led the United Party's 20 dele
gates in the Ghana House Of
Assembly.
Mr.. Busia, who is an Ashanti
from Ghana's interior, learned
an honor's degree at oxford
and, in 194l, was the first
African to be appointed dis
trict commissioner.
After four years as an adj
ministrator, he returned to Ok
ford to earn his doctorate. He
became a lecturer at Ghana's
university outside Accra in
1851 and, in the same year. was
elected to the National Assem-
bly,. Between politics and lee
turing at the university, he
held visiting professorships at
Northwestern, oxford and
Waleningen (Holland) univer-
sites. Mr.. Busia. who is mar
ried and has four children,
plays a mean country club
game of tennis and was a shin
cracking hockey player in his
college days. He neither drinks
nor smokes.
In 1856, Mr.. Busia reluctant
~ took a two-year leave from
the university to become Lead
er Of the Opposition. Last year,
under pressure to either get
out Of politics or give up
teaching. he resigned his chair
at the university.
Opposes Socialism
He describes himself as a
Liberal and maintains that
socialism. a warped form Of
which is pursued by the present
administration in Ghana, is
silly for Africa. I'VE haven't
had enough capitalism around
here to warrant socialism," he
comments. He infers that DR..
Nkrumah's. Convention Peoples
Party favors government par
ticipation in basic industries
only because it gives party
hacks a chance for bigger kick
backs.
Mr.. Busia favors small scale
development projects for Ghana
rather than the grandiose pro-
Iected $500 million Volta River
scheme because he feels that
the big projects fail to touch
the lives of the little people.
I'VE want the kind of society"
he comments, which respects
every man, not just freedom
or is it license?-for the few
at the top"
Despite deportations, i'm
prisonmentS without trial and
other indications of democracy
on-the-run in Ghana, Mr.. Busia
has faith in the country's poll
teal future. IAN illiterate
African may not understand
ballot boxes. parliamentary ma
jorities and writs of habeas
corpus" he adds, but he does
understand cheating, brutality,
graft and corruption. He under
stands thirst and hunger and
broken promises. Our time will
come"

opposition with Mr.. Busia, al
though he is not a member of
the National Assembly, is port

torney j. B. Danquah. Mr.. Dam
quah, ironically, is the man
who brought DR.. Nkrumah back
to Ghana.
Won Law Degree
Mr.. Danquah. who is So, was
educated at London University
and earned his law degree
there. He returned to the Gold
Coast, established the colony's
first daily newspaper and agi-
tated for greater African parti-
cipation in government.
For 20 years, Mr.. Danquah
was the most outstanding Negro
politician in the Gold Coast. In
l947, he heard Of a young
African in London who had
some ability but was having
trouble with his studies" He
sent for him and made HIN
general-secretary Of the United
Gold Coast Convention. the
nationalist political group.
Within a year, DR.. Nkrumah
had taken the initiative from
Mr.. Danquah and other more
conservative leaders and had
used the machinery of UGCC
to set up his own Opp. When
Ghana got its independence in
1857. DR.. Nkrumah, not Mr..
Danquah, became Prime Min
lister.
Mr.. Danquah believes that
DR.. Nkrumah is a brilliant man
but not a great one, a skilled
politician but not a statesman.
The verdict of history on
him." he forecasts, will be q
harsh one"
Mr.. Danquah's own harsh
fate is that the name of the
street upon which he lives has
been changed from Sation road
to Kwame Nkrumah road. He
gets his mail at the Office.
Backing up Mr.. Busia and
Mr.. Danquah and giving vent
to opposition sentiment is the
poorly printed but erudite
Ashanti Pioneer. The Pioneer is
published in Kumasi, the capital |
Of the Ashantis. wealthy, war
like and volatile people more
inclined to rely on shillelaghs
than syllogisms to solve dis
puteS.
RepriSalS Threatened
The publishers of the Pioneer
operate under the daily threat
of court actions and a school
run by the publishers wife, be-
cause of an alleged defect in
the building permit, was de-
molished by an order of Krobo
Edusei, one-time Pioneer debt
collector and now a cabinet
minister.
But Ashanti, which contains
most of the wealth of Ghana,
has a long tradition of indie
pendence and would like to see
a federal government estab-
lished, still seethes with dis
content.
The saddest people in Ghana
are the members of what is
probably the best civil service
in West Africa. To the civil
service over the course Of the
years have gravitated the best
educated and most westernized
of Ghana's Africans.
To them democracy was
neither an intellectual exercise
nor an opportunity for financial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. They were
told, and they believed, that
freedom for Ghana meant the
continuation and broadening of
British parliamentary democ-
racy with its inherent respect
for fair-play and due process
Of the law.
They were not told that there
was, as DR.. Nkrumah says, IAN
African way Of doing things"
that their kind of democracy,
the only kind they knew and
respected, was not exportable.
Their tragedy is greater than
that of the white Africans of
Kenya and South Africa be-
cause these people are expatri-
ates in their own country.
