We are cognizant o f the fact that
North America needs Afrika more
than ever for A frika is huge and un
derdeveloped, a market the United
States recognizes. And in recognizing
this, the U.S. should set up trade
marches flying the banner o f good
will, and that must
assured by re
garding the Black Folk here, as well
as in the Mother Land.
We realize the world's industrial
future is closely tied to Afrika, espe
cially that o f America’s.
Afrika today is the world’s great
est storehouse o f many commodities
necessary to the West. Products such
as gold, diamonds, bauxite, and ura
nium. There are also abundances of
tin, chrome, copper, titanium, moly-
bendum, coal, and large quantities
of oil.
Afrika, the natural home o f cof
fee, which grows wild in some re
gions; cotton, tobacco, vanilla,
peanuts, bananas, palm nuts, corn,
cocoa, tea, copra, cloves, hard
woods, and many other products.
Afrika, our Mother Land, has en
riched the New World and particu
larly the United States, and to be
more precise, what her people and
descendents have so far done for
America, is small in comparison to
what we here and abroad are cap
able of doing in the future, provided
the true spirit o f humanity and cor
diality leads in future relations.
The future peace o f the world is
going to depend largely on whether
decent, democratic Americans are
able to curb the racists who are, and
have given A m erica such a bad
name. Not only in A frika, Asia, and

The children o f A frika are not
asleep. They are aware o f this mis
leading in fo rm atio n about the
P R U D E N T M A N ’S R U L E . This
doesn’t give the people of America
the right to further exploit the people
o f Afrika, as she (America) has done
in the past.
How can the chief law enforcer ot
the State of Oregon, justify his ac
tions by shielding behind some Pru
dent M an ’s theory when in fact the
United Nations has steadfastly im
plemented embargo solutions against
this ill practice?
Further, how can he carry out his
obligation, serving the cross-section
of people of this state with this tvpe
o f attitude?
