For ten years the Cumberland
Prince Edward superintendent
has been involved in school de-

Among other reasons cited in
favor of the plan were that the
county is now financially able to
hire its own superintendent. and
that an elementary school build
ing program would need some
close supervision.

over. But, writes Mr.. Hoover,

ranking Communist secretary,
for saying during a 1859 United
States tour that the Americans
forced the Russians to repay
the relief inTgold. That, he said,
was "the big life" technique.

Despite the massive effort,
ARA was haraSsed by Kremlin

that the Americans threatened
to call it all off. That brought
the Russian leaders around.

PdneIiSf Comments On
Significance Of Nobel
Award To Chief LuthuLi
BY Samuel p. Perry, Jr.

Boston CAMP - DR.. st. Clair
Drake, professor of sociology at
Roosevelt University, Chicago, ILL
nois, who spoke to 1000 UNESCO
delegates on the topic, "Pan-Afri-
canism, Negritude, and the African
Personality" has issued a press
statement on the Significance of
the awarding Of the 1860 Nobel
Peace Prize to Chief Albert Luthuli
of South Africa.
The statement reads:
"They never met - the sophis-
ticated white diplomat from Swed-
en- and the astute dignified Zulu
Chief.
1.-THE cruel apartheid laws for
babe Dag Hammarskjold from
meeting Chief Albert Luthuli, when
the UN Secretary-Gene visited
South Africa. But the Nobel Peace
Awards have linked their names
forever as symbols of the way of
reason and of restraint in the midst
of the violence that accompanies
the day Of wrath which now brings
Judgment upon the blindness of
colonialism and white settler dom
nation in Africa.
when the day Of doom strikes
South Africa, it will be because
white men there preferred to keep
the men of peace in exile instead
of letting Africans follow him.
1T is tribute to the soundness
of our common humanity that
other white men have recognized
Chief Luthul's greatness and have
seen fit to honor him."
Earlier, at a UNESCO plenary
session, DR.. Drake, who is a Co
author of BLACK Metropolis" had
told delegates: "Pan-Afr1canism
looks above the narrow confines
of class, race, tribe and religion.
In other words, it wants equal OPP
portunity for all, talent to be re-
warded on the basis of merit. It's
vision stretches beyond the limited
frontiers of the nation-state. Its
perspective embraces the fedora
ton of regional self-governing
countries and their ultimate ANAL
gamation into a United States OF
Africa
TN such a Commonwealth, all
men, regardless of tribe, race,
color, or creed shall be free and
equal"
