settlers was robbed from Afri-

DIR. KWAME Nkrumah, Ghana's
President, has suggested the es-
tablishment of two parliaments for
a United Africa - to include
lower and upper house. He said
there should be elected to the
lower house representatives of each
Independent African state and the
same process should be followed in
the case of the upper house. Size
and population of member count
ries would not affect representa-
tions, according to the terms of the
proposal. DR.. Nkrumah said while
the lower house would concern it.
self with discussions on ordinary
problems facing the continent, the
upper house would undertake over
all economic planning on a contin-
entail basis, formulate common for
eign policies and create a joint uni
fled military command for the de-
fense of the continent. "Such
union might not prejudice the local
autonomy of the individual terri
tories or states, but would provide
a mechanism which could enable
Africa as a whole to coordinate its
defense and main lines of economic
and foreign policies and facilitate
trade and economic development to
the full" said DR.. Nkrumah.
SOME OBSERVERS were favor
ably impressed with the Ghana
leaders proposal. However, they
noted that his announcement was
made at Winneba on January 80,
the day before the close Of the
Lagos summit" conference of
heads of African states. 1t was
further noted that Ghana, as well
as other members of the so-called
Casablanca bloc, boycotted the
Lagos conference which was con-
vened to air some of the same OBJ
jectives which are embodied in the
new Nkrumah proposal. These
same observers say that the Nj
geria conference might have been
an ideal place and time for DR..
Nkrumah to announce his latest
views on the subject of a united
Africa.
MEANWHILE, the differences
of outlook of the various African
leaders - chiefly the Monrovia and
Casablanca groups - are said to
be natural resources. Many who
critically eye the advancement Of
the newly independent African
countries and their inability to
agree at all times on all issues
fail to recognize that elsewhere
continent-wide agreement or unity /
has not been attained, or that other
states have had a much longer |
period of independence.

OIlc development TO q malt. The
216-page study was prepared by
the Secretariat at the request of
the Economic Commission for AZ
rica for consideration at the COM
missions annual meeting this
month in Adds Ababa, Ethiopia.
It contains an exhaustive analysis
Of population, resources, labor, edu-
cation and income in South Africa,
Kenya, Uganda, the Federation Of
Rhodesia and Nyasaland, Tangan-
yika, Angola and Mozambique. Re-
searchers actually visited only the
first four countries. The report
found clear and deliberate racial
discrimination" in the distribution
and ownership of land, residences
and business property, in labor and
in education.
THE QUESTION of land owner
ship has long been a matter Of
grave concern for African nation
alist leaders in those parts of AZ
rica which are yet to receive their
independence. For example, in
Southern Rhodesia, Sir Edgar
Whitehead, prime Minister, has
promised that If his United Federal
Party wins the October election, it
will repeal the Land Apportion-
ment Act, which at present re-
serves certain areas for ownership
and occupation by different races.
If the act is repealed, it will then
be possible for people of any race
to buy land in any part of the
country, in both urban and rural
areas. Meanwhile, Sir Edgar is
under attack by many Europeans
who feel he is moving too fast to-
ward what is viewed by him as the
inevitable control of the govern
ment by Africans. But with regard
to the plan to make land available
to all races, African leaders feel
that the European-controlled gov
ernment has no right to claim the
land in the first place.
THIS SUBJECT, aired recently
by Bildad Kaggia in Kenya, fol-
lows the usual line Of Africans on
the matter of land ownership. He
maintains that no African should
buy land from Europeans, saying
to do so would be to renounce
"our landlordship in our own coun-
try" He continued saying, Every
body would ''inwardly agree" that
all land in Kenya was the property
Of Africans. All land occupied by
European settlers was taken from
Africans without their consent.
"The many eHctions that took
place to accommodate European
settlers, especially the wholesale
evictions of Nasal and many others
that place in Kiambu, can remind
anyone who Is In doubt that the
land now occupied by the European
