Tanganyika's example CT rapid,
responsible transition also may
hasten the emergence of the rest
of East Africa, especially, through
Mr.. Nyerere's proposed federation
with Kenya, Uganda, and Zanzibar.
Eventually he hopes to broaden the
federation to include Nyasaland
and Northern Rsodesia as well.
The Prime Minister indicated
that Tanganyika will be eager to
receive both from the United Ma

The UN's farewell to Tangan-

The Edinburgh-educated Prime
Minister displayed little egotism
in describing Tankanyika's smooth
transition to nationhood contrasted
with that of the Congo but he was
more outspoken in his expressed
hopes for Tanganyikan influence
on the rest Of the African CONT

Tanganyika's emergence into ma
tionhood has been comparatively
easy, he explained, because of the
small number of whites there and
the large number of tribes. He
cited nextdoor Uganda, however,
as territory where a few strong
tribes were creating "a state with
