Dakar. Senegal's capital and
the third largest port in the
French Community after. Mar
seille and lie Havre, was built
to serve not only this country
but the other territories of
former French West Africa,
including Soudan.
The Dakar-Niger railway and
Senegal's road net are laid out
to funnel imports from France
into land-locked Soudan. Sou
dams only other communica-
tions artery Of any significance,
the Senegal River. also flows
through Senegal.
Now, in revenge for Senegal's
secession from the Mali Fedora
ton, Mr.. Keita has placed a
total embargo on all goods
originating in or passing
through Senegal.
Boats, Trains Halted
The roads between Soudan
and Senegal are blocked. The
trains no longer run between
Bamako, Mr.. Keita's capital,
and Dakar. The river boats are
halted. Dakar's cranes are
quiet and the shipping berths
are empty. The chimneys of
many Senegalese factories are
smokeless against the pale
December sky. Bank transfers
between the two countries are
forbidden.
It is difficult to arrive at a
firm figure Of what the en-
barge will cost Senegal. Hard
est hit are certain local
French-owned industries (ce-
ment, shoes, candy. Their
losses will probably amount to
about $12 million this year.
Another SO million in han
ding charges and transit fees
on goods imported from abroad
through Senegal will be lost.
This does not sound like a
great deal in American terms
but Senegal's annual budget
runs about $50 million and the
revenue loss will hurt.
It is questionable, however,
If Mr.. Keitas' move will not
hurt his ow ncountry more in
the long run than it will
Senegal.
Alternate Routes
Soudan's alternative routes
to the sea are up the Niger by
barge and thence from Kan
Kan down the Guinean rail-
way to Conakry or overland by
truck to Ivory Coasts Ouaga-
dougou-Abidjan railway.
Over one of these routes, If
Mr.. Keita persists in his eco
nomic war against Senegal,
Soudan must both import all
its petroleum products and
manufactured goods and ex-
port its bulky 100000 tons)
peanut crop, the country's one
source Of foreign exchange.
The route through Guinea
is practical only on paper. At
a time when the peanut crop
Is ready to be exported, the
Niger is too low (and will re-
main so for many months) for
the barges to get upstream
into Guinea.
Even if this were not the
case, it is extremely unlikely
that the railway to Conakry
could handle the Soudanese
peanut crop. At best, the rail:
way was always an inefficient
money-loser and the French
once seriously considere
abandoning it.

stock have deteriorated to such

as part Of their technical as
sistance program to Guinea,
have agreed to rebuild the
railway over q three-year pc
riod. But that will be too late
to do Soudan any good.
Transhipments Costly
The alternative route
through Ivory Coast Is feas-
ible but that's about all. The
railway Is well-run and prob
ably could handle most Of
Soudan's necessary imports
and at least a portion Of the
peanut crop.
But the cost-heavy process
Of transhipment from trucks
to the railway will eat UP most
Of the profits on the peanuts,
despite q heavy French sub
sidy.
AS an example Of the ef-
feet of the embargo on prices
of imported commodities in
Soudan, the cost Of cement in
Bamako has risen IS per cent
in the last two months.
Soudanese shop windows are
empty and there Is not, ac-
cording to one official, q drop
Of diesel oil in the entire
country. Since the railway re-
pair shops are located in Sene-
gal, the rolling stock seized by
the Soudanese in August is
rapidly wearing out. Unem-
ployment has skyrocketed.
With an annual budget Of
only $21 million, Soudan is
liable to be the first victim Of
its own embargo.
In any Western country q
political policy so ruinous to the
national economy could never
be adopted. If it were, the
government would fall.
Enough to Eat
This Is not the case in Sou
dan, however. The majority of
the people live outside or at
least partially outside the
money economy. If Mr.. Keita's
maneuvers mean that the peo-
pie will have less cash to buy
manufactured goods, they will
still have enough to eat.
Their political faith in Mr..
Keita, whose Union Soudanaise
controls every seat in ire Mali
Republics national assembly,
is total and complete. When
Mr.. Keita says that any hard
ships which they endure are
the direct result of Senegalese
Vaccinations, the people will
believe him.
So there Is no question Of a
popular outcry in Soudan to
bring the embargo to an end.
The Senegalese, who having a
more developed economy tend
to take a more practical ap-
proach to such matters, are
more than anxious to let po-
litical bygones be bygones
and to re-establiSh economic
relations with Soudan.
But Mr.. Keita has refused
to consider this. He has even
gone so far as to insist that all
commodity assistance to Sou
dan under a modest United
States aid program be shipped
in over the uneconomic Abidjan
route.
His goal, Of course, is to
create enough economic chaos
in Senegal to topple the regime
of President Leopold Senghor
and bring Senegal back to Sou
dan on her knees. He could
then absorb Senegal into a uni
tary Mali Republic, which was
his original ambition.
The Senega1ese, however, are
confident that Soudan will col
lapse before theirown country.

that if the Senate could perfect

having the House concur in the

On the floor of the House
