Editor' note: Sylvia Porter is on vacation. During
her absence a column by Ralph McGill is being sub
stituted. McGill is currently on a lour oi African na
tions, aheut which he is writing.
West Africa: After the First World War there was a
popular song titled "How You Gonna Keep 'Em Down on
the Farm after They've Seen Paree?" One thinks of it
often today as the cities of the world become daily more
crowded.
Guinea has made an attempt to control it. The method
is interesting and, to some, dismaying, because it restricts
freedom of movement. The Guineans do not contest this.
Their plan franlily is designed to slow down movement
to their capital city, where there already is some unem-l
ployment. '
The regulation requires a person wishing to leave his .
district to obtain a permit. If granted he must establish j
six months residence before being eligible for a job. To
the government this is a more practical approach to a prob
lem than permitting the city to fill up with persons un
able to find work. An already pinched budget cannot take
on the burden or relief. In rural Guinea there are fruits
and every village has vegetables. Rice may be in short
supply, but no one would starve.
Here we have an example of one of the new na
tions, with its industries not yet developing at a rate
requiring additional labor and with an agriculture be
ing called upon to produce more, trying to meet an im
mediate problem. It cannot really afford to support large
urban unemployment. So it restricts freedom of move
ment. Some Westerners see it only in this aspect.
Others view it as an act of necessary realism suited to
a peculiar problem.
The United States can afford to provide relief for sev
eral million of urban unemployed. The new nations cannot.
In the long run neither can afford it. The problem of both
Is the same to produce economic growth which will
eliminate jobless persons.
Statistics are not readily available. Those at hand show
that Dakar, Senegal had 30,000 resident in 1926. In 1955
there were 230.000. Today there are more. In 1936 Conakry,
Guinea, counted 13,000 persons. There are more than 100,
000. Leopoldville was a town of 39,531 in 1930. The census
of 1955 gave it 299,806. Today there the count is higher. It
is a world dilemma. The cities grow. But jobs rarely keep
pace not even in the older, industrialized countries.
This fact is an indictment of our failure to see what was
and is coming, and to plan.
One sociologist, writing about the problem of the job
less African, removed from a culture of village and family
and placed in one unfamiliar and unrewarding, spoke of
the "discontinuities between their antecedent and urban
settings." This covers it with a professional jargon. But
the key word is "discontinuities." There are many dis
continuities for those who move from village to town.
The African problem differs from a Western one in
many ways. The family customs are strong. Even a
remote cousin, coming to the city and not finding work,
can, and does, move in with any employed relative.
There are examples in the West African countries of
one person with a job supporting ten or more jobless
relatives some very, very distant.
This soon puts the worker in debt. The custom is
breaking down in the cities, but only at the edges. It
still prevails to an extent seriously to affect the urban
economy. There is something kind about this family cus
tom. But it encourages the lazy and aimless. It does not fit
into an urban society. In time it will die. The young al
ready rebel. Meanwhile, it is but one more reason to try
and keep 'em down on the farm.
