poses a constitution there that
would give an African majority.
TOM MBoYA, Kenya labor
leader and secretary-general of the
Kenya African National Union,
will take time out from constitu-
tional talks in London to address
the annual banquet OF the Chicago
Conference for Brotherhood, Inc,
at the Palmer House hotel, Feb.
%. Mboya, speaking earlier in
London, said that his people would
accept nothing from Britain ex-
cept independence within 1852"
AS the talks got underway,
Mboya made it clear that KANU
Kenya's largest political party,
seeks a centralized government.
Ronald Ngala, who represents the
Kenya African Democratic Union
and is leader of the Kenya Legis-
lative Assembly, said his party
would demand at the conference
a federal form Of government for
Kenya. Under no circumstances
will we accept system Of govern
ment which may lead to a dictator
ship" Ngala said. Jomo Kenyatta,
KANU president, shares Mboya's
belief that a unitary form Of gov
eminent on the British pattern is
best suited for his country's needs.
INASMUCH AS complete unity on
the African continent still appears
to be in the distant future, there
have been indications that smaller
alliances - involving two, three
or four states - might pave the
way for larger groupings. Already
Ghana, Guinea and Mali have
formed what they call the Union
of African States. Now President
Sylvanus olympic Of Togo has ad-
vanced the idea Of "a little region
al unity between Togo, Dahomey
and Nigeria"
1t was desirable the Togo presi-
dent said, that there should be
not so many barriers" between
the three countries, and that one
should mot have to see so many
ambassadors before crossing a few
miles" There was also a report
that Olympic favors ending any
differences and the establishment
of friendly relations with neighbor-
ing Ghana. Concrete measures in
preparation for regional unifica-
ton of Togo. Dahomey and Nj
geria, as proposed by President
olympic, were laid at a recent
meeting at Cotonou, Dahomey.
Well-informed circles said that
Paulin Freitas, Togolesa foreign
affairs minister, would make con-
tact with a Ghanian delegation
while in the Dahomey capital.

on the African continent and In
the United States.
At Adds Ababa, Ethiopia, where
the Pan African Freedom Move
ment for East and Central Africa
met, delegates agreed to support
by all means at their disposal any
action taken by central Africans
to dissolve the Federation. Mean
while, in Chicago, H. w. Chitepo
of Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia,
condemned the Federation at a
University Of Chicago law school
symposium on African affairs.
Chitepo, the first African lawyer
admitted to practice law in South
ern Rhodesia, said African resist
ance to the te-dominated Fed
Grafton is strong in Nyasaland and
in both Rhodesias
IN WHAT might be regarded as
anything but a warm salute to
both conferences, Sir Roy We'll
enslxy, prime minister of the Fed
Grafton, branded pan-Africanism
as "one Of the most blatant exer-
cises of racialism the world has
ever seen" and forecast that it
would bring nothing but evil in
its train" Sir Roy, a leading foe
Of the Africa for Africans con-
cept, delivered his attack as the
meeting at Adds Ababa was in
session and prior to the Chicago
meeting. But disregarding the
time factor, he seemed to be aware
of the beating that was in store
for his idea Of partnership with
Africans in the Federation. Speak
ing in Salisbury, Sir Roy said he
knew that we in the Federation
are being subjected to tremendous
pressures, particularly by elements
Of the Afro-Asian bloc and by
those who stand behind them" He
added that they even knew that
they could expect greater opposi-
ton in the months to come"
I'VE ARE being opposed" Sir
Roy said, mot because what we
are striving to bring about in the
Federation is impossible of achieve
ment or unjust to the people of
our country, not because we are
oppressors, but because this ele-
ment and its protege movement on
this continent, pan Africanism,
wants Africa for the Africans and
will not rest content until what
they call European domination is
swept from the whole of the con-
tinent."
THE FEDERATION, from all
practical points of view, is a lost
cause. There are African majorities
both in Nyasaland and in North
ern Rhodesia. Nyasaland has
5000, 900 Africans, 1900 Europeans
while Northern Rhodesia has
5000, 900 Africans and 10000 Eur
