London, Eng. Jan. Strife torn
Belgium is presenting a grim OBJ
ject lesson to other European CO.
lonial powers, particularly Britain,
France, and The Netherlands. For
tiny Belgium today is paying the
fearsome price for the loss of it's
empire. Moreover, it is paying for
having shed not a series of colonies
piecemeal, but for having been de-
prived all at one time of it's
only major colony, the rich Congo,
80 times its own size.
That is why the coalition gov
ernment of Premier CASTOR Eys-
kens has had to institute stern aus
terity measures, and that it why
workingmen are marching in the
Belgium streets.
This also is why Belgian troops
committed to Western defense as
part of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization forces have been
called home, thereby weakening
even further NATO's slender re-
sources already drained of their
French component.

The widely published report last
week of the states lag in the ae-

The report by the North Caro-

schools in 1860, but only 7.57 per-
cent of its 43,646 Negro pupils at
tended schools able to meet the
minimum standards of the South

Secondary Schools, the recognized
accrediting agency applying the
same standards throughout the
south.
According to the report Missis-
sippi has only six accredited Ne
gro High schools, four in Kinds
County, with Lanier, Brinkley and
Jim Hill in Jackson, and the High
School Department at Utica Jun
