crime. One of their complaints
is that visitors often judge Nj
geria by a yardstick which does
not apply even in the visitors
own countries. Certainly there
is no denying the existence of
corruption and crime in such
countries as Britain or the
United States, which have much
older civilizations than Nigeria.
But, it would be unrealistic to
gloss over these problems, which
are of concern to some of Nj
geria's own leaders.
Leans Toward West
Meanwhile, although Nigeria
proclaims itself uninvolved as
between Western and Commu-
mist worlds, it has followed a
course of friendship with the
West under the leadership of
Sir Abubakar. The government
has been wary of Communist
overseas, although there is a
small Soviet diplomatic mission
in Lagos and probably it will
grow larger. Probably, too,
there will be trade and other
agreements with the Communist
world in time, and Sir Abubakar
may make visit eventually to
the Communist world. Indeed,
he has said he would accept an
invitation when it is preferred.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1961-09-09

In the meantime, however, Sir
Abubakar has been to both the
United States and Britain.
About 80 per cent of Nigeria's
industry stems from British in
vestment, and the United States
is expected to announce a sub
stantial program of technical as
sistance to Nigeria by years
end.
Shell-BP has a substantial
stake in the country and has
made a number of promising
oil strikes. The company has
been exporting about 100000
tons of crude oil year, but with
a new loading terminal at which
ocean tankers can be fully load
ed, will soon be doubling it's ex-
port rate and by 1870 may be
producing 100000 tons a year.
This is buot one item on
rapidly climbing economic graph
which has seen Nigeria's over
seas trade rise from $425, 000,-
600 in imports and exports to
$500, 100000 in the past 10 years.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1961-09-09

cipal shortfall is in the sphere of
! education.
The United States, for exam
pie, recently made available
more than 100 scholarships to
American universities for Nj
gerians. The embassy received
5000 applications, and of these
! interviewed a short list of $40
students. Yet of these it could
find only 80 with the qualifica-
tions necessary for admission to
American universities.
| Another problem is the linger-
ing tradition of dash" or brib-
cry, under which a superior or
official may require "sweeten-
ing" before he grants a job, or
license, or whatever request may
be before him. This is a problem
which disturbs the Prime Minis
ter, Alhaji Sir Abubakar Tafa-
wa Balewa, and he is anxious to
stamp it out.
Then there is the lingering in
fluence of jujuism, or witch
craft. In Nigeria, as in other
West African lands, there are
frequent court cases in which
the evidence indicates the use of
of juju to attempt to shape
events.
| Nigerians of course, have no
monopoly on corruption or

Metal Box Company, the Chase
Manhattan Bank, the Bank of
America, Volkswagen, Crown
Cork, Westinghouse, Michelin,
and other famous names from
the United States and Europe
which indicate big-business con-
fidence in Nigeria's future.
Principal factor in Nigeria's
favor, of course, is its popula-
ton of nearly 10000, 900, which
makes it the most populous ma
ton on the entire African con-
tinent.
Many Nigerians believe that
with this population their coun-
try can become the most power
full in Africa, both politically
and economically.
For the moment, the northern
region has the last political
word because of a population
which outnumbers that of the
eastern and western regions
combined. Although the prin-
cipal political party in the
North, the Northern Peoples
Congress has taken in as junior
partner in a coalition federal
government the ruling party in
the eastern region, the National
Council for Nigeria and the
Nigeria and the Cameroons.
However, many diplomats be-
lieve that Nigerian leaders
themselves are we'll aware of
the need to compromise if they
are to hold their country to-
gether. And among the various
leaders there is indeed recogni-
ton of the fact that Nigeria can
expect a much brighter future
as a nation of 100000 than it
can if it collapses in tribal jeal-
ousy and splits into three or
more separate countries.
While this is land with con-
siderable potential, it is also one
with many problems. AS in
most African states, the prin-

lends seriousness to the Collet
case. Mr.. Collet was taken forci-
bly, to a police station, and APP
parently had to be subdued in
the process. He was not charged
however, or held.
One explanation offered is
that the 25-year-old policeman
involved may not have fully
understood the implications of
diplomatic immunity. Another
possibility is language Difficult
ty. Mr.. Collects first language
is French. He is described as
volatile and short tempered
when unable to make himself
fully understood.
Both New York Mayor Rob-
ert Wayne, and Chief United
States Delegate AGlai E. Stew
enson have had the case investi-
gated. Police Commissioner Mi
chael J. Murphy reported to
the Mayor that l'atrolman
James O'Grady's actions had
been proper and the Mayor
commented Tuesday that he
had mo reason to question" the
commissioners report.
Il deeply regret that we
should have had any incident in
volving international dignitar-
les" the Mayor said. 1--WE have
always welcomed being host to
the United Nations. New York
is proud to be the capital of the
world
"In the future as in the past,
we shall bend every effort to
see that all United Nations per-
( sonnet and visiting diplomats
receive full protection and re-
spect for their status"
Observers noted that h S
statement was noncommital as
to the particular Guinean COM
plant. Mr.. Stevenson was also
noncommital in comment
Tuesday.
He said he had discussed the
case with Mayor Wagner and
with Tell Diallo, Mr.. Collects
immediate superior. Il have

Union has attempted to main
tain that Negro diplomats were
i'll treated in the United States.
A few actual cases of discrimi-
nation in restaurants, hotels,
and apartment buildings have
tended to lend credibility to the
charges. The State Department
and the United States Mission
have tried hard to eliminate the
causes of each incident.
Whether the latest case was,
in fact, a cause for legitimate
complaint is very much in dis
pute. But in any event, a good
deal is likely to be heard of it..
Many observers believe it will
be raised by the Soviet bloc
at the forthcoming session of
the UN General Assembly, per-
haps under an agenda item en-
titled Manifestations of racial
prejudice and national and re-
ligious intolerance"
The Soviet Union has pro-
posed moving UN headquarters
to Vienna or Moscow. Some
others have suggested Berlin.
There is little likelihood of any
such move, hut it, too, provides
a handle" for debate and anti
American charges.
The fact that UN diplomats,
like all fol eign diplomatic per-
sCnnel, have immunity from ar
rest under a headquarters agree
ment with the United States

been gratified at the Mayors
restatement of New York's re-
sponsibilities as host city to the
United Nations" Mr.. Steven
son commented.
"This puts special burdens on
the city and it's officials, in
Guiding the police, to act with
great care in cases involving
United Nations diplomats.
Mayor Wagner's statement
will, | am sure, reassure all
United Nations delegates that
he, like the United States Mis-
sion, is deeply concerned with
this problem.
Observers doubted that this
somewhat geenralized definition
CT policy would satisfy the
! Guineans or the Soviet bloc. 1t
clearly reflected a feeling that
Mr.. Collet had been to con-
siderable degree at fault. A pri-
mary election campaign in which
Mayor Wagner is deeply in
volved may also have been a
factor
Exactly how far police may
go in restraining a man with
diplomatic immunity who is in
the act of committing a misde-
meanor or more serious crime is
not entirely clear. He may be
restrained, but immediate fol-
low-up action is in a twilight
zone.
The diplomat clearly may not
be arrested or prosecuted. In
serious cases, he may be de-
clared persons non grata, and
thus expelled from the country
