Legal Aid Increases

The number of indigents

said the caseload reached an

an increase of 1,243 over 1860
He said there also was an in

About 81 million in private

self with discussions on ordinary
problems facing the continent, the
upper house would undertake over

tense of the continent. "Such a
union might not prejudice the local
autonomy of the individual terri

a mechanism which could enable
Africa as a whole to coordinate its

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..
NSrumah 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
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.
