Sen. Ellender Uninformed On Africa Affairs Washington Window By LYLE C. WILSON United Preeo International WASHINGTON (UPI)—If Sen. Allien J. Ellender, D-JLa., had done his homework before traipsing off to Africa, he would have been better prepared for what he encountered. Ellender was shocked and astonished in Africa. He popped off x that he had not seen any part of Africa where Africans were ready for self - government. More, he said the average African is incegjable of leadership without white assistance. Uganda, Ethiopia and Tanganyika promptly barred him as an undesirable visitor. His sharply adverse statement falls in two parts. As for leadership, the average white man isn’t much of a leader, either, although the white race can, and does, develop leaders of greet ability. These great leaders attract arid manipulate the masses of average white persons. So much for leadership and Ellender should have known all about it If he had done his homework, the senator also would have knowq that United -States and United Nations policy is that African and other colonial peoples 7 required to be ready to govern themselves before they tare given the responsibility of seif-government. Endorsed by U.S. This contradictory policy has the endorsement of both the United States and a majority of the U.N. assembly. It is in the record of U.N. proceedings on Nov. a, 1961. It is, therefore, a ~ policy of the Kennedy wdministration. On that date there was introduced before the assembly a resolution to speed-up the effectiveness of a previous U.N. declaration on independence for colonial peoples. This resolution committed its supporters to this proposition: “That inadequacy of political, economic, social or educational preparedness should never serve as a pretext for delaying indeM That is what the resolution said. In simpler language, if a nation of colonial tribesmen is utterly unfit in all respects to govern itself, make ’em independent anyway, and let ’em thereafter fight it out among themselves at U.N. expense. For example: That is precisely the situation now and long prevailing in the Congo. UN. headquarters in Leopoldville announced a couple ot days agp that Katanga and Central Congolese government forces were fighting again. J Resolution Passed, 97-6 • So generous has the United Nations been in conferring premature Independence here and there that the organization is n ear baknipt; its own survival in question. The U.N. independence =* resofoticc of November, 1961, was adopted by a vote of 97-o—believe it or not—with four abstentions. These four were France, South Africa, Spain and Great Britain. The United States voted for the resolution. By its vote, the United States protected its world image as the friend and godfather ot colonial peoples, especially Africans. The U.S. vote must have been calculated to please the great minority group of Negro voters in this country. American Negro leaders increasingly identify with the aspirations of African colonials. * Samoans and other natives of the Pacific islands administered by the United States as U.N. trustee do not have a great minority voting bloc in the United States. When independence was proposed last June for those islanders, the United States had a quick and curt reply, as follows: Independence for the islanders would be premature. They weren’t ready for it.

Tack the translucent cloth to the frames, using sufficient number ot tacks so that high winds _.. win not be likely to tear the doth off. Use masking tape around the edges to make a tight joint. “Secret” Cache Glue or thumbtack a large envelope to the back of a desk or bureau drawer to use for hiding small valuables, such as cash, rings, keys or documents. Wicker clothes hampers should be coated with shellac regularly to keep them spic and span. The shellac is best applied by spraying, but it may be brushed on in a fairly uniform coating if thinned down with alcohol to a waterly consistency. Use only fresh, white shellac. - 1
