Oregonians Oppose Colonialism
By U.S., Endorse Siateshoods
Corvallis Mixed reactions to
two formi of "colonialism" the
U. S. domestic brand and that
of European allies were regis
tered by Oregonians participat
ing in the 1957 "Great Deci
sions discussions of foreign pol
icy issues.
Opposition to colonialism for
U. S. territories but general sup
port of allied nations' control
policies for colonies were fa
vored by the majority of persons
in more than 300 Oregon Great
Decisions groups.
Prompt action on statehood of
Alaska and Hawaii, a chance for
Puerto Ricans to vote on inde
pendence or statehood, and more
liberal dealings with Panama
rated high in opinion ballots
from 22 Oregon counties on the
issue of "U. S. For or Against
'Colonialism'?"
qTo vote for this and seven oth
er foreign policy issues in the
1957 Great Decisions series are
being tabulated by Oregon State
college extension service. Ballot
tabulations will be completed
during the next three weeks on
the three final issues of the se
ries neutralists, military strat
egy in the nuclear age, and trade
and aid.
While generally favoring "self-
determination" in U. S. territo
ries, Oregonians balloted as fol
lows on colonial questions of
European allies:
Cyprus
Sixty-six per cent thought the
U. S. should support continued
British control because of the
strategic importance of the is
land.
Twenty-nine per cent said the
U. S. should support majority
rule by the 80 per cent Greek
population that wants union of
the island with Greece.
The remaining 5 per cent sup
ported partition of the island
into Greek and Turkish, the mi
nority group, sections with self
determination for each.
Algeria
Eighty-one per cent favored
pntinued association of Algeria
ith the French Union. Algeria
has been French territory since
1830.
Nineteen per cent believed
this country should support the
Algerian nationalists' movement
for independence.
Singapore
Ninety-two per cent voted U.
S. support of British control un
til Far East tensions and local
Communist activities quiet
down.
Eight per cent thought this
country should press Britain to
give Singapore self-government
now.
The Belgian Congo
Fifty-six per cent voted for
U. S. "hands off" in this foreign
policy issue. The Congo was an
nexed as Belgian territory in
1908 and is the richest country
in Africa. Ninety per cent of its
important uranium export comes
to the U. S.
Forty-four per cent thought
we should urge a speed-up in
economic and political develop
ment aimed at early Independ
ence. Broad recommendations for
U. S. policy in relations with
European allies on colonial ques
tions favored recognition that
some peoples are not yet ready
for self-government but encour
agement to our allies and the
United Nations to speed up edu
cation, administrative training,
and economic development in all
colonial areas.

were granted under previous
laws.

to receive tne higher benefit
must apply 'or the new compen
sation payments, even though
they already are on VA rolls.

increased monthly payment und
er the new lw, such payments
will be made retroactive to Jan.

With certain exceptions, ap

will be effective as of the day
they are received, he emphasiz
ed. Widows who make application
for the new benefit, but who
would receive more under old
laws, will be advised by the VA

ment However if a widow fails
to apply for trie new benefit, she
will continue to receive death
compensation at the same rate
as in the pa.st, even though she
might be eligible for increased
payments under the survivor
benefits act, Brannock said.
Advice about applying for the
new benefit is available at the
