Senator Morton almost

He is well-liked. He has done
a fine job as chairman Of the

He is a moderately liberal

however, one handicap: The
old Taft wing of the G.. o. P.

that wing has long memories.
Mr.. Anderson would be sig

for this second spot. There is

Nixon. of all people. Of the
qualities most needed for the
post and most useful politi-
cally. (After all, he has had
some personal experience in
the matter.)
And, finally, the Democrats
have complicated Mr.. Nixon'S
life by choosing Senator
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas
as their vice presidential
candidate on the ticket
headed by Senator John F.
Kennedy of Massachusetts,.
Mr.. Nixon actually had
long feared Senator john

Democratic ticket, if it comes
to that. But like nearly every
body else, the Vice President
had assumed the Texan
would take the No.. / place

Johnson's decision to accept

appeal to conservatives

have been the case. More
over, 1t weakens Mr.. Nixon's

Senator Kennedy is one

This phrase, used to de-

fact that at no time during

his party been able to pro-

harsh blade of despair. So
far as I know, his statement
to a friend on the eve of Mr..

when Washington was like

been disputed. 1t is written

DAVID LAWRENCE

EN- ROUTE FROM CALL
FORNIA.-Going from one
convention to the other-in
fact, by making the whole
journey to the coast and back
by train-there's a chance to
see the United States in sharp
focus, particularly in some of
its most important areas of
development.
Certain thoughts inevitably
pass through ones mind.
How, for instance, can any
one man, as President of the
United States, really govern
this vast country, with its
multifarious problems? How
can even the Congress Of SGT
members look at the tasks Of
Government from a national
viewpoint, and what will the
situation be so years hence
when there may be 1000
members of Congress and
half-a-billion people in the
United States?
Years ago some political
scientists predicted that even
tually we would have four or
five regional governments,
with a quasi-president in
each, and that the States
wouldn't be able to handle
the perpleXing questions
forced on us by a growing
population.
But the States and the ci-
ties aren't lying down on the
job. Indeed, one is fascinated
by what might be described
as a Tale of Two Cities
the remarkable growth of Los
Angeles and San Francisco
over the years and their re-
sponsiveness to the peoples
interest in such a growth
period.
This writer first saw the
two cities in 1911, when he
came out to Los Angeles to
cover the famous Mcnamara
trial for the Associated Press.
The city of Los Angeles at
that time had only about
$4,000 persons, and the
county's population was not
much greater. Today the city
has about 2.5 million, and the
county close to 6 million.

This, we imagine, is one of
the chief values of this sort of

so much for granted. In addi-

they will be free to appro-
PIRATE the homes, bank &C
counts, automobiles and wives
of the settlers. Last week 81
Elisabethville firms were hit
by wildcat strikes based on
the assumption that work
was no longer necessary.
Whites will present a conven-
lent whipping horse for any
political firebrand in the
post independence period.
Under these conditions
there is little likelihood that
the $4,000 whites, who ac-
count for an amount of the
Congo's exports far out of
proportion to their numbers,
will want to remain.
Hardest hit by the transfer
of power will be the Greeks,
Portuguese and Jews from
Rhodes, who make up about
20 per cent of the white popu-
Ilation. They are a prime tar
Iget because their homes and
businesses are closer to the
African townships and be-
cause they engage in trades
which put them in direct
competition with the Africans.
Finally, the very existence
of the Congo as a nation will
depend on the ability of it's
leaders and its people to for
get the tribal rivalries which

of the constitution and the

Mine Shares Are Issue
There is considerable spec
ulation. for instance. on the
future of the SITS million
worth of mining shares held
by the Belgian government
1t is believed that Belgium
is willing to hand the shares
over to the government of an
independent Congo but the
terms upon which, they will
be transferred is still a mat
ter of negotiation.
The black nationalists, nat
urally enough. want the
shares with no strings at

that Belgium would like to
see the shares, placed in a
Congo development fund to
which she would contribute
and over which she would ex-
ert some control.

Relations With Belgium
Although it has political
ramif1cations, the question OF
whether or not there is 10 be a
relationship between Belgium
and the Congo is basically an
economic problem because of
the formers membership in

Although growers of coffee,

Congo has two universities

In anticipation of inde-
pendence each Belgian civil

little time to train even a

When he returned from his

TShombe announced that the
United States has agreed tc
grant scholarships to 25 Con-

But it eventually gets down
to the fact that most of the
white administrators will have
to remain or others found to
replace them. CongoleSe ma
tionalistS agree that most
civil servants should remain
at least temporarily.
The majority seem willing
to stay as long as they are
allowed to do their jobs
honestly and efficiently. 1t is
up to, the Congolese to create
these conditions.
The non-government white
population presents another
problem. Although the Congo

British Africa, whites have
enjoyed a privileged socia
and economic position.
