Lisbon and Our Vote

It is an unhappy thing that some
10000 Portuguese people with whom
we have ancient ties of friendship and
who are allied with us in the North
Atlantic Treaty OrganiZation-have
stoned the American Embassy in Lisbon
and shouted bitter slogans against our
country. This they have done, though
possibly not too spontaneously, to
dramatic their national resentment
over our Governments decision to vote
against Portugal on the issue Of Angola.
This vote undoubtedly has deeply
offended great numbers of Portuguese
who believe sincerely, and emotionally,
that Angola'S troubles do not threaten
international peace, that they are part
Of PortugaPS internal affairs and that
the United Nations therefore has no
right to inject itself into the situation.
Yet the United States, acting through
Ambassador Adlai Stevenson, has Joined
the Soviet Union in the Security Council
in supporting a resolution aimed at
having the U. N. stage a formal inquiry
into the recent racial disorders in the
West African territory.
Although the resolution has failed
because China, Ecuador, Chile, Turkey,
Britain and France have declined to
support 1t, Lisbon nonetheleSs continues
to be reSentful Of the American vote.
Up to point, since the vote represents
sharp modification Of policy, and since
it has been cast against NATO ally,
the Portuguese reaction Is quite under
Standable and merits sympathy. With
that said, however, there is reason to
add that Portugal owes 1t to itself, as
well as to the United States, to put emo
tions to one side and give careful, dis
passionate consideration to our Govern
ment'S position on the matter. The
position may be summarized as follows:
~ The American vote on Angola
represents carefully calculated decision
not an improviSed or whimsical one
to modify past policy. (2) The modi-
weaken NATO, is designed to make
clear that our country, far from voting
automatically and always on the side
of the So-called Colonial" powers,
intends henceforth to determine its
stand in keeping with what it deems to
be the facts or merits of each case as it
arises. (3) The day is coming when the
main African issue will not be the grant
ing of independence to this country or
that, but the character and stability Of
the new governments, and the status
of the white minorities. az In such a
situation, having held aloof from the
extremists Of both sides, the United
States might well be able to play the
role Of an effective honest broker.
Meanwhile, neither the Portuguese
nor anybody else should make the mis-
take Of interpreting the vote on Angola
as evidence that our country Is in favor
Of immediate independence for that
land or any similar territory where the
quick advent Of such freedom would
merely create another Congo. AS Mr..
Stevenson has emphasized in the U. NJ,
our Governments basic policy in that
respect is simply to encourage peace
full evolution" toward self-rule. This
certainly is reasonable enough, even
though there are those who argue, with
some cogency, that it leaves much to be
desired in terms Of Realpolitik.

launched his perennial at
tack on those who bear the
responsibility for the Dis
trict's operation. The mag
unanimous gesture Of support
ing a larger Federal pay
ment in the face of the
known improbability Of such
an appropriation Is quite
ludicrous. This fiscal pup
peteering has resulted in the
mediocrity and impending
inferiority Of our Nations
Capital city which is po-
tentially the pride Of our

The substantial rebuttalS
made by Health and Welfare
Department heads to the
charges made by Mr.. McMil-
Ian indicate that the infor-
nation upon which the
charges were based was less
than accurate. Indeed, 1t
suggests that ill-informed
sources with vindictive mo-
tives are seeking to revive
a pattern Of action by the
District Committee which,
through criticism "investiga-
ton" and delay, perpetuates
q state Of obSoleScence.

THE PASSING SCENE
PortugoFs Claim on Angola Denied
By RALPH McGILL

Dear Mr.. McGill: I have
not seen you since the war
years, but impose q letter
from Algeria because I wish
to discuss, and sustain, the
American vote in the United
Nations in favor of q resolu-
ton to investigate Portugal'S
conduct in Angola.
II worked there for two
years, leaving q few months
ago to come to Algeria. Il
will ask that you not use my
company or name.) I speak
French, Spanish, Portuguese,
German, and some of the At
rican dialects, so I believe I
learned something in my "a
months tour in Angola. I
worked in, and among, the
natives in their cities and
along the coast, so I feel I
have some basis for my COM
mentS. I am positive those
who oppose the United Ma
tons wish to investigate are
unfamiliar with conditions.
Briefly we may say the
Portuguese have been in An
gola for about 500 years, and
for the past 800 Of those years
have slowly built up settle
mentS there. The first ma
jor arrival of settlers came
in the late 1800s. This means
that perhaps 80 per cent of
the Portuguese in Angola were
born there. To them, Por-
tugal, and especially Lisbon,
is q sort of spiritual home,
even though they may never
have seen either. Many of
these, however, feel some
slight resentment against the
government because the col
ony is so emphatically ex-
plotted for the benefit of Por-
tugal.
This exploitation Is an old
story in the history of colo
nialism and explains why, in
our time, colonial powers are
losing control.
Claim Of National Ties
"Portugal's claim that An
gola is a part Of Portugal Is
simply not true. (The same
is true Of Algeria. It was
never really q part OF
France.) Representation In
the Parliament is limited by
a rigged system Of voting
The currency is different and
not freely exchangeable with
that Of Portugal or that oi
other countries. The amount
Of currency which may be
taken out. even to Portuga,
for a vacation, is limited
This certainly demonstrate.
Angola is not an integral part
Of Portugal.
There are other evidence.
Of the colonial mind. Lo.
cal development of industry
historically has been dis.
couraged and made difficult
