president and general manager for
Ifcarope, has just completed a six--ek
tour of Africa. He visited 15
aations and talked with all the
knding political figures. In the fol
lowing dispatch he describes the
strmggle that is going on between
last and West for the allegiance of
t kimds of the Africans.
Spy THOMAS R.CURRAN
Xhartoum, Sudan (UPD - A
tug-of-war is going on between
last and West for Africa's 26
nations and 230 million per
Dns. Of those 230 million
only two per cent are white.
' The West is not taking any
chances in this struggle and
can not afford to do so. Top
most in th minds of the West
trn nation is the old saying
tht a mn "with bare feet
fnd an empty belly is a can
didate for Communism."
Who is winning? At the mo
mnt, nobody. For both Com
munism and capitalism are
econdary in the minds of the
Africans, and that means pan
Africanism and nationalism.
Stoaders Visiting
Indicating the extent of the
struggle for Africa, leaders of
both sides have visited or plan
to visit the continent.
President Eisenhower touch

Mediterranean and Asia last

Harold Macmillan toured the

feita Khrushchev has indicated
h will accept invitations from
Guinea and Ethiopia later
this year. There's even talk
tht Khrushchev may go to
Liberia, the first independent
country on the west coast of
Africa which was settled by
e-slaves from the United
States 138 years ago. To this
day Liberia uses dollar bills
' printed in Washington for
legal tender. It has no cur
rency notes of its own.
Sks Soft Spots
Red China and Russia are
probing for soft spots as the
new African states get their
independence after 300 years
of European colonial rule.
Nevertheless, most leaders
of the 26 nations on this huge
cnfitinent-five times the size
of continental United States
are friendly to the West.

Africa. Guinea was the first
French colony below the Sa
hara to ' emerge as an inde

weeks ago Belgium agreed
that her big African colony,
the Belgian Congo, could be
independent the end of June.
Speed Up Indicated
Kenya, Tanganyika, North
ern Rhodesia, Nyasaland,
Zanzibar, Uganda and Sierra
Leone are on the planning
board for independence in the
future. Phased withdrawal of
British control in from 18
months to 5 years is planned
for all of them, but the irres
tible surge of African nation
alism may force the colonial
office to step up its time-table.
This correspondent saw

Tom Mboya, African leader
Nairobi, said after the recent
London conference on Keyna:
"Some people talk of this
constitution lasting four to
five years. Personally I am
not committed and do not con
sider any of us committed to
this."
On racial discrimination,
Macmillan told the parliament
of South Africa in a frank
speech in Cape Town that
England would no longer sup
port the apartheid policy.
Apartheid is South Africa's
program for separate develop
ment of blacks and whites.
United Slates Blamed
Some Johannesburg editors
blamed the United States for
Macmillan's tough talk, but
other observers pointed out
that Ghana and Nigeria, new
black commonwealth nations,
had given their point of view
to Macmillan as he traveled
south to Cape Town.
Portugal's holdings in Afri
ca are anti-Communist oases
and have been an exception
to what ' Macmillan called
"the wind of change." The
Portugese consider Angola,
Mozambique, Portugese Gui
nea, the Cape Verde Islands,
Principe and St. Thome "over
seas territories" - pieces of
metropolitan Portugal abroad.

There is no trace of racial

never been accused of race
prejudice. Vacationers from

Tribal Law Rules
In their administration' of
native affairs, the Portugese
whenever possible are guided
by tribal law and do not try
to make the natives under
stand Anglo - Saxon common
law or the Napoleonic Code.
If a native wants to leave his
cattle ; and holdings to his
nephew, cutting off his own
son as heir, Portugese judges
do not object. Both in Angola
and Mozambique the natives
follow this practice with the
explanation: "We know the
son of our sister has blood.
We can't be so sure of our
own son."
