It has a variety of people in northern, eastern, western, Uganda and Buganda. (UPI) Uganda Graduates To Independence By E. A. JONES Uganda lias been spared United Press International the familiar African convul Kampala -IUPII- Uganda, the least troubled of Brituin's re maining African possessions, graduated as Africa's 33rd in dependent state Oct. 9. There were cheers when the Union Jack on Kampala's government building gave way to the new nation's six- striped flag. But they were cheers of good-natured joy, not the raucous shouts of vic tory that have climaxed a bloody battle for freedom and ' nationhood elsewhere. Of the colonial territories in equatorial Africa, Uganda is among the last to become independent-yet better pre pared for it than most of her neighbors. The Congo republic is still struggling to find ifs feet. Tanganyika is destitute, with the lowest living standard in Africa. Kenya, still a British dependency, fears another outbreak of mau-mau type terrorism which a British withdrawal could only hasten. sions. Hatred for the while colonialist and the fear and suspicion which entangle vir tually every colonial freedom movement are absent from this land of herdsmen and farmers, wild game and breath-taking scenery. When Arab traders and white explorers penetrated Uganda they found a con glomeration of ordered com munities, some not larger than a clan or village, others organized under monarchies with a history of centuries. British administration did not start here until some 70 years ago after the European powers, at a conference table in Berlin, had staked out their spheres of influence on a largely blank map. Never Becomes Acute Britain extended her au thority at a leisurely pace. It took her until 1010 to estab lish her civil servants in the north of the country.

SWEEPING CURBS ON SOVIET-CUBA TRADE As the United States gels set to clap on the most sweeping shipping curbs in modern peacetime history to stop the free world's ships from carrying cargoes from the Soviet Union and Its satellites to Communist-run Cuba, two obvious ques tions arise: How big has the Soviet bloc's trade with Cuba become? How lucrative has carrying these cargoes from Russia to Cuba been to non-Communist shipping nations? In brief, the answers to both questions arc: The Soviet bloc's trade with Cuba has grown at an enormous rate in the past two years and carrying the cargoes has been ex ceedingly lucrative to shipowners in the free world's mari time nations. Including our closest allies. To be specilic, Soviet trade with Cuba this year will reach $750 million, according to a study just published in Geneva on the Iron Curtain economies by the Economic Commission for Europe, The ECE is a key United Nations organization with headquarters in Geneva. This represents a 40 per cent Jump over Russian. Cuban trade in 11)61 and this trade in 1961 was in turn 300 per cent above 1000. Poland's sales to Cuba simultaneously more than tripled between 10(10 and 1061, rising from $4 million to $23 million, while her purchases from Cuba more than doubled, rising from $10 million to $24 million. Rumania's sales to Cuba climbed from next lo nothing In 1960 to $11 million In lfltil. Czechoslovakia's trade fol lowed a similar course, is scheduled to increase another 20 per cent this year. While our trade with Cuba has been slashed from 4.3 million tons in 1959 to a picayune 75,000 tons in 1961 (mostly medicines), the Soviet bloc nations have taken our place. Implicit in the statistics on the tremendous rise in Sovirl Russia's trade Willi Cuba Is tile answer lo the second question about its financial value to nations whose ships are trans porting the millions of Ions of food, material, machinery. The estimate is shipping fees on thr traffic are now running at over $100 million a year a welcome bonanza at a time of world-wide maritime recession. Between Jan. 1 and Ihc end of August, a total of 433 ships carrying Free World flags docked a Cuban ports. During June, July and August, the U.S. Maritime Com mission reports, owners of 169 ships of Free World nations made 185 trips in and onl of Cuban ports, with ships of such countries as Greece, Britain, West Germany and Norway accounting for more than 60 per cent of the trade. Under mounting pressure from ui, though, the nations have begun lo eel, Turkey has banned all shipments: West Germany and Italy are blocking the trade via licensing policies; Denmark has told shipowners she doesn't ap prove of the shipments: Norway has asked shipowners lo "reconsider" hauling cergoes; Britian is "considering" j our request for restrictions: Greece is asking shipowners lo cancel chartering agreements. And now the U. S., on its own, is Inking unprecedent action In peacetime to tighten the trade noose around Russia's new satellile. (1) We're going In close all U.

Willi only 10,000 whiles and 85,000 Asians among an African population of some 8.5 million, the "European problem has never become acute. Racial hatred did not get a chance and what dis criminatory laws were passed were in favor of the African, prolecling African interests. While and black mix freely J in social life, without the stig mas and prejudices so charac teristic of other colonial so-1 ciclics. Even mixed marriages arc not uncommon. With all her advantages, i however, Uganda does face I independence with a big prob- j lem-thc bewildering variety of peoples and tribes. Al- though her land surface is ; slightly smailer than Bri- i tain's, Uganda is the meeting place of three ethnic groups -Bantu, Nilotes and Hamitcs, all with different languages, cultures and psysiqucs. Her minority groups now include the world's smallest mcn-the pygmies in the west ern Iluri forest - and the world's tallest-the Batutsi, 10,000 of whom fled into Uganda when their rule was broken in the neighboring republic of Rwanda. Cultural levels vary more Hum in any other single Afri can territory. The Karamoja district In the northeast is populated with naked cattle-herding no mads who live on blood and milk and practice war as pastime. The people of the north west are of Nilotic slock, grain larmcrs, famous dancers and fighlers and a steady recruit- j ing reservoir for police and army. , Bantu tribes, settled in the 1 fertile south and center, are a sophisticated people who developed a monarchical sys tem with ministers, a parlia ment and a civil service long before the while man pene trated these parts. Among these Bantus the Huganda are the dominant tribe. Their Kabnka, or king, is the 3(ilh in direct line of descent from the oldest dynas ty in Africa (and older than most in Europe.) Isnitling this patchwork quilt of peoples and terrain into a iniiled nation has been the politicians' main head ache. The proud, populous and intensely tribalislie Rugnnda people were the main stum bling block. For long they demanded eilher dominance or independence as a separ ate nation. Il fell lo a Nilotic tribes, man, 37-year-old Milton Obole, lo engineer an agree ment by which the Buganda kingdom would become a seml aiitononinus stage with in a federal Uganda, lie also won Hie country's second elect inns last April and emerged as Uganda's premier.
