questions and here are a few of the
answers. One woman who was so

they never had to live through

She was saying, 1T will take us
years to get over this strike! No,
my husband nor any of the others
were paid one cent all during these
cold winter months. Now the
companies have told us they can
not extend further credit to us
unless we can pay up our utility
bills or unless the strikers go back
to work. Here we are faced with
four month old utility bills, grocery
bills and other bills that had to go
in order that great many of us
could keep our homes. AS it is,
there are a great many workers
who have lost their homes, cars
and some furniture, not to mention
many small items.

tern bloc embassy" in Conakry
The networks object, he said, was
to overthrow his regime.
Toure's charge followed a sim.
liar charge made by government
officials recently in Monrovia, Lib,
eria which linked an alleged Com
munist plot in that century to an
Eastern bloc embassy in Conakry
Toure did not identify the Com
munist bloc country.
Independent Three Years
At the time of last months sta
dent riots here, the disturbances
were blamed on disaffected teach
ers seeking more pay.
Guinea, proclaimed a republic in
1858 after leaving the new French
community, obtained its independ-
ence from France three years ago
when it voted to reject a referend-
um on the French constitution.
The French government then in
formed Toure that his territory no
longer formed a part Of French
West Africa and could no longer
expect aid from France.
Sets Up National Bank
President Toure then announced
establishment of a national bank
and issuance of a Guinea franc to
St. Paul recorder., 1962-03-16

those working for the government,
expressions are not so restrained
A high ranking government offic-
ial told me that the tension Great
ed by the growing antagonism be-
tween Northerners and Southern
ers could, if not checked and re-
solved, lead to consequences very
damaging to the unity of the ma
ton which is its major assets.
1t is altogether possible that the
apparently conflicting reports of
the Prime Minister and the Leader
of the Opposition on the state of
the nation are supplementary
rather than conflicting.
There are many instances in his
tory where materialistic progress
has been accompanied by moral
degeneration and bitter inner con-
flicts. The impetus of competition
which accounts for progress often
breeds jealousies which are self
destructive.
This is a report on only the first
year of independence in Nigeria.
The events and trends noted by its
leaders do not necessarily presage
the future. Nations as individuals
have their growing pains as the
civil wars of some of the more
powerful and stable nations of to-
day prove.
The future of Nigeria is yet to
be determined though indications
are favorable. 1t is a challenge to
the nations leadership.

replace the French colonial franc.
On the same day, Mar. 1, 1860,
Toure signed an agreement for a
$35,OO0,0OO Soviet credit to Guinea
but denied that this was linked
to his country's renunciation of the
franc zone.
Also, on March 5, 1860, Guinea
became the first country outside
the Communist bloc to extend dip.
lomatic recognition to East Ger,
many. The West German ambas.
sador was Immediately recalled
from Guinea in protest.
Since that time President Toure
has said repeatedly that he is nc
Communist. Some Western observ,
ers have described Guinea as 9
"leftist" African nation. Otter
these same observers label Ghana
Guinea's other partner with NAL
in a Union of African States, as
a Communist sympathizer. The
feeling regarding. Ghana is based
on reasons similar to those involv,
ing Guinea.
Follow Neutral Line
All three West African count
ries have denied being Communists
or even Communists sympathizers
They contend that as independent
states they have the right to ac-
cept aid from any country. They
further take what they consider a
neutral position in the EastWest
cold war, saying such a position
is to their best advantage as new
ly-independent states.

possibility that certain African
states may have extended them
selves too far to the left.
However, they point out that
any action or statement on the
part of African leaders which may
be considered as being anti-West
need not be construed to be pro-
East.
Nigerian Leader Visits
In other developments, Sir Abu-
bakar Tafewa Belewa, Nigerian
prime minister, visited Toure in
what was viewed as an apparent
move to bring Guinea into the
rank of the "Monrovia powers"
This group of nations, so idend-
fled after the historic meeting of
20 independent African states in
Monrovia, Liberia, has never been
St. Paul recorder., 1962-03-16

of the so-called MonroVa and
Casablanca powers.
Toure, a Lenin Peace Prize win
ner and an avowed nationalist, last
week raised world eyebrows when
he disclosed that the Communists
tried to overthrow his government.
He revealed the alleged plot in a
speech before a rally here.
Received Red Aid
The Guinean president has re-
ceived considerable Soviet bloc
aid; he has made trips to the Sow
let Union and Communist China,
and he has been charged with MAX
ing foreign policy speeches which
seemed to favor the Communists.
AS a result, Western nations have
considered him to be strongly
under Red influence.
Western observers have also not
ed that CzeChoslavakia and Red
China at one time appeared to
have a strong foothold in Guinea.
Czechs, they have indicated, held
positions in Conakry, including top
posts with the police force. They
also had charge of air terminal
facilities in Conakry.
Denoucing the Communists,
Toure said they instigated student
riots last month to set their plot
into motion. The riots were halted
without bloodshed.
Tells OF Network
The Guinean leader said an in
St. Paul recorder., 1962-03-16

The government, headed by Alhaji
Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, the
Muslin, northern born prime min
lister, claims that the nations first
step has been forward.
However, Chief Obafemi Owol-
owo, president of the Action Group
and Leader of the opposition, is
not so positive. From statements
I heard him make at the National
Press club here, one could easily
get the impression he feels the
nations first step has been in a
backward direction.
The difference between the
views of these two men can GER
tainly not be resolved by a passer-
by. 1t is more than possible that
only time can determine the accur-
acy of the estimates of the two
leaders. In any event, their views
provide an interesting report of
what has happened here in the last
twelve months, both good and bad.
There are certain tangible evid-
ences of progress that even a cas-
ual tourist can observe. Lagos, the
capital, is the scene of great activi-
ty along a number of fronts.
One of the most impressive I'M
dertakings is the 25 story office
building to be known as Independ-
ence House which the federal gov
ernment is constructing to house
many of it's agencies.
The National Bank of Nigeria
has just completed construction of
$2,1OO,0OO building on Broad
Street and New York's Chase Man
haitian Bank is erecting an impress
sive office building. The founda-
ton for a $1,5OO,OOO eight story
office building has just been laid
by the Methodist church.
Other significant and monu-
mental construction is underway:
the $15,OOO,OOO Apapa Wharf ex-
tension; the Ijora power station err
ected by the Electricity Corpora
ton of Nigeria on reclaimed land;
the Oil River power station; the
IS mile oil pipe line; S90,0O0,00O
iron and steel plant and a cement
factory in Eastern Nigeria.
In the bustling Western Re
giOn a brewery and a bottle
works are under construction
and work is about to begin on a
$2,1OO,OOO milk factory; Radio
Nigeria in Ibandan has just
completed an expansion program
and a gIlttering new school of
agriculture has just been opened.
UP in the Muslin Northern Re-
gion the 106 mile Kuru-Bauchi
railway line has just been put into
operation and a new power station
at Makurdi opened. Men and ma
chimes are rushing work on a
teachers college at zaria which
they hope to complete by October
1862 and Alhaji Sir Ahamadu Bel
10, the Sardauna of Sokoto recent
ly officially opened a $1,5OO,OOO
women's training college in Kano.
Highways and airfields are be-
ing built and extended and the
deiselization of the railway has
Just been completed; telegraph and
telephone lines are being strung

of the country has found the clim-
ate favorable for foreign invest
ment.
In agriculture the yield has been
stepped up and the variety of pro-
duce expanded. Nigerian cocoa is
now regarded on a par with that
of Ghana.
The inventory of progress in all
fields could continue for pages, but
it would only document the rapid
strides that have been taken dur
ing the past year.
Some may challenge the devel-
opments in a particular field, but
there is no doubt that overall pro-
gress is evident.
The Prime Minister and his cab
met are proud of what has been
achieved under their administra-
ton during the last year.
But says, Chief Owolowo, the
panorama of progress which has
impressed many including foreign
ers has also blinded all to a moral
degeneration that makes all ad-
vancement meaningless.
TN my considered judgement"
he declared at a press conference
week after the Prime Minister
had made his glowing report, 1.-THE
most outstanding feature of the
past year is the dangerous decline
in moral values among the entire
populace of Nigeria"
He continued: People want
more pay or reward for less work
or for considerably poorer stand
ard of service. Honesty is at a
discount and there is a high prem
ium on corruption and mediocrity.
There is now a mad rush into poll
tics as a career, simply because
many leading politicians have tan
gibly demonstrated that politics in
this country provides a sure av-
enue for living without work, for
becoming rich without visible
means or commensurate sources
of income and for indulging in
barefaced plunder of public funds
without detection"
The shocking and bitter charges
are not altogether without sub
sanitation. Recently the Federal
government was forced to make a
public and embarrassing appeal to
young Nigerians, particularly stu
dents, to stop writing begging let
ters to individuals and organiza-
tions abroad.
The pen pal practice once en-
couraged as a means of creating
international friendships and un-
derstanding has degenerated into
a racket that has brought shame
to many Nigerians overseas.
Stories and editorials appearing
in the public press indicate a grow
ing estrangement between the geo.
graphically dominant North with
its huge Muslin population and
the Christian more westernized
South.
The issue in civil service which
was prompted by an order evict-
ing some senior civil servants
from their government housing
to make way for NOrtherners.
In an unusual front page edi-
torial in the Sunday Times which
usually evades expressions of opin-
ion, the paper says THE policy of
bringing more Northerners into
the federal civil service is a COM
mendable one. No one can fail to
see the many advantages this pre-
sents to the feeling of unity and
brotherhood which is bound to
arise from working together side
by side.
"Yet for the good of all it would
be wrong to appear to give undue
privileges to one section now to
the disadvantage of the other"
On the streets, especially among
St. Paul recorder., 1962-03-16

our utility bills are much higher.
Most all of the workers savings
have all but dwindled away and
they are living on credit that will
take many months to clear up.
A worker who is nearing the re-
tlrement age asked, what makes
you think the strike hasn't hurt
me? He said between us, my wife
and I, we spent seven months in
the hospital last year. I was ill for
four months and was off my job
for six months.
Knowing what hospitals cost
you know I dug deep into our
savings and the strike was called
only two months after I went
back to work. Besides not earning
any salary I am paying cash out
every month. I am happy I had it
to pay, but don't tell me I don't
feel it! will feel it for another
year, at least
A young wife of a striker told
us, my husband was one of the
few who would not sign to strike
and are they making him pay for
it! He is being watched lest he
make one false move. And those
who did not sign are being given
more and more work to do and if
they go to the water cooler for a
drink of water they are being
watched"
A real young bride said, I'VE had
made a payment on our own home
and had bought furniture and just
settled in our home when the strike
was called. We tried to hang unto
our house but had to let it go and
then our furniture went back. I
try not to think of all the cash
we have lost because we are young
and can start over again. But it
does hurt to think there is no way
to hang unto your property be-
cause of a strike that you did not
want! Another, a man, was say
ing" it is hard on us, but harder
on the man nearing retirement.
They say those men are being
watched and the first time they
fall behind in their work they are
going to be retired. Knowing this,
it is hard for them to do their best.
They also know their chance of
