The first, by Samuel john
son: For I look upon it.
that he who does not mind
his belly will hardly mind
anything else"
The second, from Aesop's
Fables: It seems that the
members of the body once
rebelled against the belly,
who, they said, led an idle.
lazy life at their expense.
The hands declared that they
would not again lift a crust
even to keep him from starv-
ing, the mouth that it would
not take a bit more food;
the legs that they would
carry him about no longer,
and so on with the others.
The belly quietly allowed
them to follow their own
courses, well knowing they
would all soon come to their
senses, as indeed they did
when, for want OF the blood
and nourishmentS supplied
from the stomach, they found
themselves fast becoming
mere skin and bone.
This is the end of the
fable. Even good old AeSop
knew how much the stomach
is misunderstood and ma
ligned.

Policy on Africa
Traced to Negro
Rejecting Past

Part of the American mis-
conception about Africa has
sprung from the American
Negro'S rejection of his African
past. Bishop Smallwood E.
Williams of the Bible Way
World Wide Church said last
night.
Bishop Williams spoke at an
induction dinner of the US
Mems Club of the Twelfth
Street YMCA at the Hotel 24OO.
He said the Negro's rejection of
his past, which grew out of
shame for his subsection to
slavery and his conviction that
what was right must be
white" was one of several
factors that determined Amer
can policy toward Africa.
Citing the United States
stand in the United Nations
against Portugal's colonial pol
icy, Bishop Williams said the
winds of change" that have
swept Africa are affecting this
country as well. He urged his
listeners to offer constructive
criticism to policy planners and
to give attention to social and
economic aspects of relations
with Africa.
