freedom from external rule, but
not freedom for all the people in
their countries to determine how
they shall govern themselves, or
be governed. Some Congolese
peoples will get a lot less freedom
than others.
In fact, there is so vast a diff
ferent in concept between what
freedom means to us lin the US0
and what it means to the varying
peoples of Africa, that until we
come to a closer understanding on
their terms, we cannot give them
effective backing to their march
toward self-government.
Despite the extreme complexity
of the problems of that portion of
Africa covered by the survey, DR..
Kimble hopefully emissions that
ultimate solution may be found.
However, he sees the need for the
US. to exercise craftsmanship, I'M
Outstanding and humility, in their
efforts to assist Africans to evolve
an Africa along the lines that they
wish.
He was very anxious that his
message get across the language
barrier to Mr.. Barnett, and for
that reason, called in a member of
his own staff, more familiar with
his philosophy, to assist Petty who
accompanied Mr.. Barnett as inter
prefer.
To further insure that his phil
osophy and policies are not mis-
understood, he loaded his visitor
down with seven books and pamp-
hlets which he autographed. Apol-
ogizing because some were written
in French, he promised that Eng
lish translations - which he had
ordered - would be provided later.
Before yielding to other demands
upon his time, the most immediate
being luncheon, he sent brother
ly greetings" to Negroes of the
Americas.
He said that he was sure what
is being done in Africa and Guinea
will contribute to the rehabilitation
of the black man everywhere in
the world. He added that he felt
sure the educational, political, &C.
onomic and cultural progress OF
Negro Americans were contribu-
tons in the same direction.
AS he shook hands with Mr.. and
Mrs. Barnett, and those in the
American party, he said he felt
that American Negroes could play
an important role as intermediar-
les in preserving good relations
between his country and theirs.

US. Needs New
Attitude Towords
Africo Book SoYs

New York (ANP) - The United
States must promptly and boldly
adopt new attitudes toward Africa
and view its people with new in
sights, if the us. leadership and
experience are to count in the
struggle of the peoples of Africa
to reach freedom and independ-
ence.
This was the conclusion reached
in a two-volume survey, entitled
Tropical Africa" which was pub
lished by the Twentieth Century
Fund Monday.
Authored by George H. T. Kim
BILE, the survey holds that I'VE Of
the West, sired by democracy out
of industrial progress and raised
on a diet of advertising in a CHM
ate of emulation, find it difficult
to believe that all Africans are
not as we are"
Pointing to the "dismay" regis
tered by Westerners at the types
of government selected by African
nations" the survey explains:
There is the disposition of more
Africans to do their own thinking
and deciding about the kind of
world they want to live in. This is
expressing itself in many ways.
Frequently it takes the form
of skepticism concerning the suit
ability of Western political forms
in countries still largely illiterate.
Where the leaders still lay claim to
being democratic, they are, as a
rule speaking not of negative or
parliamentary democracy, but of
positive democracy democracy
in which the government repre-
sents the true will of the people,
whether or not the people them
selves consciously apprehend 1t.
The survey, which took seven
years in preparation and covers
the area south of the Sahara and
north of the Union of South Africa,
suggests one major readjustment
in us. thinking.
This, according to author Kim
BILE, must be conferred about the
fact that we can speak of no such
place as Africa, nor even of the
African nations. Rather, we must
take into consideration that trop-
ical Africa is an area composed
Of some 6OO-odd groups, with diff
fering origins, customs and aspira-
tons; that indeed the nations such
as they exist today represent very
artificial boundaries.
"The profound significance OF
this central fact has now-and will
have in the futures painfully
evident in the Republic of the
Congo. The champions of self-gov-
eminent in the (former) Belgian
Congo and elsewhere promise
