Uganda Graduates To Independence

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

dependency, fears another

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.

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
