Focus On
Africa
BY EDDIE L MADISON, JR.


ON THE HEELS of attacks
in the press against Jomo Ken
yatta and his party, the Kenya
African National Union (KA-
NU), a new Kenya political
movement has been launched in
Nairobi. Mohamed A. Koor,
AMP correspondent in Kenya, re-
ports that the new party, accord
ing to its founders, has been FORM
ed "as a warning to the Rlcuyu
in the Kenya African National
Union to abandon their dreams Of
domination Of other tribes Of Ken
va"
The new body, which will be
called the Luo Political Movement
and which will remain affiliated
with KANU "for the time being"
was formed at a meeting attended
recently by more than 5000 Luos
in Nairobi. The KilSuyu and the
Luo are the two major and more
advanced tribes Of Kenya, Koor
points out.
The correspondent pointed out
that Tom Mboya, Kenya labor
minister and secretary general of
RANU, Is not connected with this
new organization. Mboya Is .
member Of the Luo tribe.

Frightening Parallel

On August 81 we printed on this page the COM
ment of the Pioneer Press on the John Henry Faulk
libel case. This the case in which television
personality his career destroyed by conspr-
acy to misbrand him Communist, went to court
about it, and got judgment against the conspir-
ators for 35 million dollars.
The Pioneer Press rightly observed that the
principle and the effect Of the verdict beneficial
by hitting in the pocketbook extremist groups who
like to throw communist labels around.
Our readers will be interested, then, in the
comments the case by the National Review that
strange collection of prejudice ignorance and blind
reaction which is part Of the literary scenery Of
times.
The Review thinks that the trial was less
legal investigation Of the rights Of Mr. Faulk than
a test Of power between two political factions
roughly speaking the anti-communist and anti-anti-
communist factions :" 1t discounts Faulks (suc-
cessfu) attorney indulgtng in 'histrionics" And
it asks: What is the meaning Of the case? That
private organization can organize a boycott
against an artist under any circumstances"
The comments are interesting because they re-
veal that there Is large and well organized body
Of political opinion in this country that thinks 1t is
all right to make reckless irresponsible and false
charges against those whom they dislike and to
such charges both the basis and the tool Of boy
colt action to destroy their enemies.
If this sounds fr1ghteningy like Germany in
the early 193os perhaps It Is because 1t is fghen
ingiy like Germany In the early 193os.

when that party was badly
split on the issue, with a
small majority violently op-
posing the trade union lead

The United States, shoul-

overlook the pragmatic posi-
ton of the more left-wing

1t is possible that a far
seeing policy of successive

debacles in both South Korea

while at the same time COM

We signed at Punta del Este

the Alliance for Progress

tries - many of which were
on the brink of falling under

The developments in Argen-

The political scientists who
formulated this policy, as we'll
as their predecessors, do not
seem to realize that by mere
ly offering tranquilizers in
the form of hundreds of mil
lions Of dollars a year we
are not achieving our goals.
They refuse to realize that
something else than hard

developed countries. They are
all hungering for militant

claim as enemies of civiliza-

Intellectual Honesty on A-Testing

with the nuclear bogeyman,
are planning to do just that.
They, indeed, already have
placed orders for some $500
million of American equip
ment that can be used with
nuclear warheads. This in
cludes aircraft and missiles.
The next step, however, is
not so easy. During the years
when the United States had
a monopoly on the atomic
bomb, our Congress passed a
law requiring American con-
troll of all our nuclear weap-
ons on foreign bases-except
in the special case of Brit
ain. The Canadians naturally
want control of their own use
of such dreadful firepower.
There is a healthy opposi-
ton within Canada that
doesn't want the country to
join the nuclear club; so
none in the Canadian gov
ernment is too happy about
things. The situation is ex-
acerbated by the fact that
many of our northern neigh
bors already fear American
domination of ada
through the increasingly
large investments in mining
and petroleum operations
there.
Gen. de Gaulle, Of course,
forced American nuclear
bombers and missile stock
piles out of France by de-
manding joint control. His
own tests in the Sahara, in
elegantly referred to by crit
les as DE Gaulle'S atomic
burp." have not made France
a nuclear power.
The dilemma is bleak.
1t leaves the disarmament
groups who picket Prime
MiniSte Macmillan and
President Kennedy in a
somewhat untenable. If not
absurd, position. To forgo
tests is to turn control Of the
world over to the Russians.
This will not be done, for
reasons obvious to all except
those who somehow believe
that if we don't test, the
Russians would give up their
weapons. The prospect Of a
Russian-ruled world Is one
that simply cannot be &C
cepted. The anti-test pickets
could use a bit of intellectual
reality-or honesty.

Militant Leadership and Strong Policy

CONSTANTINE BROWN

A year after the Korean
coup, a group Of colonies and
a few young generals over
threw Chang and then
started overthrowing each
other. Today Korea is in a
sorry state, its economy
shattered and the limited
democratic practices intro
duced by Rhee all but sup
pressed. While Mr.. Rhee was
in office we rightly exercised
a good deal of control over
all the country's actions. We
have very little to say in the
present colonelS' regime eX-
cept to fork over further mil
lions because we cannot af-
ford to allow the Korean
bastion to fall apart.
1t was the revolution Of
the colonelS, as usual pre-
ceded by student demon
Strations," which caused the
overthrow of Premier Adnan
.Menderes in Turkey. This
brought the pillar of the
NATO'S defense in the Middle
East into an unprecedentedly
sad plight. Although we did
not contribute to Mr.. Men
deres' overthrow as overtly as
in South Korea, it was an
open secret that Washington
was looking aSkance at his
undemocratic ways.
The colonels hanged Mr..
Menderes and two of his fell
low ministers and after 18
months held elections. Many
MendereS supporters were
returned to parliament. Only
recently a second group of
colonies attempted to over
throw the aging Premier

Soviet-Run World Called Unacceptable
Despite Peril Posed by New Weapons
RALPH McGILL

In discussing the bleak
dilemma" created by ad-
vanceS in nuclear weapons,
the Manchester Guardian
noted that a 500-megaton
missile is not unlikely. The
Soviets presently possess an
advantage because their space
power plants are capable of
hoisting and propelling such
a weapon-if the warhead is
developed. The 57-megaLon
device they recently ex-
ploded is a giant by prevail
ing standards.
So conditioned are we to
the mystery and horror of
atomic fiSsion and fusion
that the Guardian matter-of-
factly explained that: "One
such weapon 900 megatons)
would probably be enough to
burn the whole of England,
or most of the American sea-
board from Boston to Balti-
more"
What two or three - or a
half dozen - such missiles
would mean in terms of de-
struction is something that
makes even the most lively
imagination shy away from
bringing the image into
focus. For Britain, on her
closely ly-grouped, beautiful is
lands so long and so we'll
guarded by her magnificent
seapower, the dilemma is
bleak and, also, extremely
compact.
The bleakness of the sit
uation understandably has
caused diverse voices to be
heard. Prime Minister Mac
milan has said, I'VE dare
not fall behind" A small
minority of his Conservative
Party strongly insists that
Great Britain have nothing
to do with nuclear arms.
These are aided and abetted
by Bertrand Russell and his
following; they insist, with a
great sense of unreality, that
everyone else abandon nu-
clear arms, even though Rus

Our social scientists and
political philosophers who in
spire President Kennedy's
policies have not yet taken
into consideration a new
phenomenon: The advent of
the "colonels" has become
an important political factor
in the less-developed coun-
tries.
We regard the men who
sign solemn treaties and &C
cept our proffered billions as
the real representatives of
these countries, only to dis
cover in many cases that
these documents become
meaningless. The signatories
are often overthrown by poll
tically-minded colonels who
control sufficient military
strength to dictate their own
wishes.
This phenomenon of the
colonies made its appearance
only a few years ago. 1t
worked sometimes for the
good of the country, such as
it did in Pakistan where Gen.
Ayub Khan was able to bring
order out of chaos. In Ko-
rea, after President Syngman
Rhee was ousted by a group
of students supported overtly
by our State Department, the
government passed into the
hands Of a politician, John
Chang. He made a worse
