Foreign Trade and a left-wing
Lumumba follower, has de-
scribed the trade situation as
tragic. He reported in a re-
cent survey that the Congo in
the first six months Of 1861
exported only 1890 tons of cot
ton compared with $1,000 tons
during the same period Of 1860
before independence.
Coffee exports during the
first six months this year
brought in $5.44 million COM
pared with SIG million in the
same period of 1860.
The drop in mineral exports
from a counry famous for its
buried riches was a scandal, Mr..
Bisukiru said. In the first six
months of 1860, when Katanga
was still in the fold, the Con-
go exported 100000 tons of min
eral products. The figure for
1861, after the political and
military extravaganza that fol-
lowed independence, is $500
tons.
Unite d Nations economists
are concerned about another
phase of Congo economy. Al
most all business concerns, ex-
cept for smaller establishments,
are in the hands of Belgians
and other non-CongoleSe. The
Congolese have difficulty &C
cumulating capital to partici-
pate in the business life of the
country.
Plea for Belgian Aid Now
One economist said that while
the Congo won political inde-
pendence it was completely
coloniZed economically.
IF the Belgians want to
avoid tragedies tomorrow they
must help to develop Congo
lese business" he said. A Con-
goleSe business community must
be developed if only as a So
cial responsibility, he asserted.
Six commercial banks in the
Congo finance Belgian COM
merce. Nobody finances the in
dustry and commerce Of the
Congolese. One idea is that a
nation interested in helping the
Congolese might present them
a bank that could be devel-
oped to promote Congolese busi-
ness.
The alternative to develop
ing a Congolese class of busi-
neSsmen could be nationalist
ton. There has been consid-
cradle talk of this possibility,
particularly Of certain key in
dustries. 1t seems a certainty
if left-wing Lumumbists came
to power.
A government plan to con-
troll distribution of gasoline, en-
tirely in foreign hands, is sup
posed to exist. But diplomats
here believe the present govern

continue as at present, urg-

advancement Of African en-
ployes over foreign staff.

some scholars are of the

E. J. Kahn is a remark

MEANWHILE, BACK AT
THE FRONT. BY Gene L.
Coon. Grown; $3.50
A strike of the Writers
Guild Of America enabled
Gene Coon to put aside his
TV writing assignments
C"Wagon Train," etc. long
enough to pen a hilarious
novel about the not-so-funny
Korean War.
The story is about the
Public Information Section
of the 1st Marine Division
just after the Chosin Res
ervoir campaign at a time
when the whimsical Mr..
Coon was noted in the unit
for the hideous shouts he
emitted during occasional
Nightmares. This reviewer
was the commanding officer
of the section and one Of my
duties was to smother Mr..
Coon in blankets so as not to
attract any wandering Com
munist infiltrators.
Some Resemblance
I wouldn't want to swear
an affidavit to this thought
but I hardly believe Mr..
Coon'S prologue to the effect
that, "All characters in this
book are fictional. Any re-
Semblance to persons living
or dead is a Pigment Of your
imagination. The United
States Marine Corps is a
mythical organization. OBJ
viously, newspapermen rare
ly drink and all Marines are
brave and warlike."
For instance, I think I
recognize a number of peo-
pie from among the Marines
and civilian correspondents
who inhabited Korea in 1851
So. However, the antics Of
the Leatherneck PIOs and
their civilian guests were
comical at times and Mr..
Coon has made them even
more so with his free-rang-
ing imagination.
Something Different
If the reader is willing to
believe that the fictional
Sergt. Riley operated a sue
cessful bagnio along the
front line in a military truck
the rest Of the book is easy
to swallow. One thing is Ger
tain: it's not like any other
war book you have ever read.
