About 400 reader have told me. I will explain It a doien of readers explained it to me: Princess Margaret Is a sister In law to Prince Phillip, because the is his wife's sister. But Mar garet's husband, Mr. Jones, is no relation whatever to Prince Phil lip. They are lust a couple of nice boys who married sisters, My apologies to the reader who asked the original question. And my thanks to all you nice people who wrote to set me straight, Dear Ann Landers: I've been dating Joe for over a year. We work in the same plant and I knew he was married but he said It wasn't working out. Joe never spoke of his wife, except to say she was sloppy and stupid. In August I went to the com' nanv picnic with some girls from the plant. Joe hung around me as usual. One of his buddies came over and warned me to "be careful" because Joe' wife and kids had just arrived on the bus. When I saw them I almost died. His wife looked about, SO years old and she had six little kids hanging on to ner skins. Three were still in diapers. I felt so. ashamed of myself I was sick to my stomach. Joe ignored them as if they were strangers. Finally I told him to leave me alone and go to his family. I've been feeling so guilty that I'm sure the only way I can square things with myself is to gq to his. wife and beg her for giveness. Should I? LOWER THAN LOW Dear Lower Thant No. YOU may feel better, but H won't help her much. The best way to square your ' self Is to stay as far away from Joe as possible. Best of all, why don't you find another Job? Women like you, who date mar ried men, flatter the vanity of these Tomcats and encourage prowling. They should be blocked at the very first pass, told to1 grow up and go home to their families where they belong, Dear Ann Landers: We are three teens with a problem which has nothing to do with boys for a change. My father has a younger brother who lives In a big city far away from here. I will call him Uncle Pete. He was the "black sheep" of the family and ran away from home when he was IS.

Africa still has its most stubborn problems left to settlo in 1961 ard probably in a good many years to come. t But 19C0 saw the tide of inde pendence sweep down the west coast of the vast continent from the borders of Morocco to the frontier of Portuguese Angola down the center to the border of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nvasaland: and down the east coast to the frontier of Kenya. In the east and center, the tide was still held' back by me strongholds of white settlement, although even they began to rock before it. And Afriran na tionalists suffered one of their biggest disappointments to date when independence in the Belgian Congo disintegrated into chaos, in ternal conflict and foreign inter vention. - Yet 10 closed with J4 inde pendent stales on the continent of Africa and the big lslund of Mad agascarnow the Republic of Ma lagasyoff the southeast coast, This figure Includes the Union of South Africa as well as the Unit ed Arab Republic, whose biggest part, Egypt, is in Africa.

It was a year of great political advance for Africa, s although It left straggles for Independence of different kinds and intensity still raging in Algeria and the Congo, throughout British East Africa and against white settler domi nation in the Federation of Rho desia and Nyasaland, the Union of South Africa and Southwest Africa, mandated to the Union after it whs seized from Germany at the end of World War I. These political conllicls arc enough to ensure that Africa will continue lo be one of the world's storm centers in 1961. But a still more difficult future problem for Africa and for the outside world particularly the West in its relations with Africa was foreshadowed in February of last year at the Pan-African Peoples Conference in Tunis. The emphasis at the conference was on "neo-colonialism." By that torm the delegates meant the re tention by European powers of economic control of African terri tories even after those territories achieved political independence. "Neo-colonialism" is the wrong term for this phenomenon, since it actually is the oldest form of colonialism. European powers ex ploited African territories and Iheir peoples economically before they annexed them politically. Despite criticisms, the problem of economic colonialism is at least as vital to Africa as the problem of political imperialism. The ex perience of Liberia and Ethiopia has shown that political independ ence is of little or no benefit to the mass of the African people as long as a country's main re sources are channeled out into foreign markets instead of being used for that country's own .eco nomic development. Liberia and Ethiopia have been independent longer than any oth er African territories yet the pov erty and illiteracy of their people are remarkable even for Africa Experts say that one of the causes of the increasing rural pov erty and deterioration of African land is that the soil is starved of phosphates. But, African na- Uonalists point out, Africa pro duces nearly one-third of the world's phosphates, nearly 90 pet cent of which is exported fo en rich the soil of Europe and Amer ica. The nationalists add that Af rica has by far the biggest de- People Read SPOT ADS you art Friday, January , 1M1 By Jimmy Hatlo posits of iron ore in the world more Man twice those ot the U.b. and Canada, four times those of all Asia and six times those of all Europe excluding the Soviet Union. Yet, the nationalists point out, Africa has virtuallv no heavy in dustry or engineering outside the Union of South Africa. Among endless other "examples of economic colonialism," the na tionalists point out that Northern Khodesia is the world's third larg est producer of copper, yet she has no industry for the process ing ot copper. And. they add,, American and European firms are prepared to invest huge sums for the extraction of aluminum from Africa, but Africa has had a hard fight to persuade private enter prise to take any interest in Gha na's plan to develop a big alumi num industry on the Volta River. So the West must expect de mands in 11 that firms which extract minerals or other raw materials in Africa must help to develop industries to process those materials in Africa, and must help to develop the heavy industry and engineering base for real Af rican Industrialization and eco nomic independence. African nationalists still are al most unanimous in their hope for this type of investment from the West. And they are now making it clear that, if the West does not provide it, they will seek it Irom the Communists. . 1 r ' . .1 . . "I LAVERNE SLUSSER frigidoira Saleslady Sayi!

' H, T j SECOND IN SERIES None Wanted To Compromise Civil War Issues, Historian Points Out Editor's Note Ordinarily in the United States, a political conven tion gives opposing factions u chance to blow .off steam. Instead of this, the 1860 Democratic con vention built up an unendurable pressure. In the second of four articles, a famous historian ex plains how this exception to the rule prepared the path to war. , By BRUCE CATTON Written for The Associated Press Compromise is an unpopular word. It seems to mean that you are rather wishy-washy you don't have the courage of your convic tions, you won't dig in your heels for a final stand, But we do need to remember that compromise is what enables democracy to work. It enables us to face up to questions which, left to themselves, would become ex plosive. In 1860 nobody tried to find a compromise over the slavery issue nobody seemed willing even to talk over the possibility of a compromise and there was no compromise. The Democrats, holding their convention in Charleston, S.C., promptly got into a dog-fight that wrecked the party beyond repair. Here was the party that offered the brightest hope for a solution, simply because it was the one truly national party at that time. It was strong in the North and the South alike; it embraced all shades of feeling in regard to slavery, and its leading candidate for the nomination, Sen. Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois, was eager ly trying to find a middle-of-the- road approach. Douglas nad the strange notion that the country had important things to do and that it ought to get on with the job without wasting all of its energies in the argument over slavery; he said quite frankly that he himself did not care whether slavery was vpted up or down, just as long as it was somehow disposed of. mat was exactly Sen. Douglas's pruuiem. ne wanted a com promise approach at a time when nobody wanted to compromise. He was in' an old-fashioned political ngnt, involving nothing much loftier than a struggle for party control; hut he was also caueht up in the fact that too many people had taken extreme posi tions and refused to hear any talk of compromise. Consider what the EEiiatur irom Illinois Was un against. Leaders from the cotton South wanted a flat declaration, in the party platform and from the lips of the candidate, in favor of the extreme pro-slavery position slavery was untouchable, and the question of restraining or modi Navy Extends Special Offer The Navy's special "station- keeper" re-enlistment program has been extended for six more months until June 30 for those who qualify for a number of rat ings, said Chief Robert J.

They wanted a broad state ment of the kind which ordinarily is, dear to the politician's heart- something that would mean al most anything anyone wanted it to mean, on the ground that u this problem could just be side tracked for a few years it would eventually come down to man ageable proportions. Under pres sure from Southern pro-slavery extremists, they were also under pressure from Northern anti-slav ery extremists. Somewhere be tween the extremes, they be lieved, the cording election could be won, . Usually, In such a situation, a political convention blows off steam for a time and then works iomething out. This time that proved impossible; ' , instead of blowing off steam, this convention built up an unendurable pressure and, in the end, broke squarely in half. The Northern half of the party nominated Sen. Douglas and the Southern half nominated John C. Breckinridge of Kentucky. It immediately became obvious that as a result the Republicans were going to win the election. The Republicans guided them selves accordingly. Convening in Chicago, they did not bother with much debate. Declaring flatly that slavery was wrong and must eventually go, they nominated Abraham Lincoln and set out, with immense singleness of pur pose, to pick up the victory which the Democrats had dropped in their laps. Now another party took form the Constitutional Union party. which wanted to preserve the Union and nominated John Bell of Tennessee, with a platform call ing simply for reverence to the Constitution and the federal union a creed to which almost any body could subscribe And then the campaign got under way The campaign shed no light whatever, because nobody wanted to talk about the one shattering issue. 1 Lincoln refused to make any speeches at all, on the ground that his position already was clear. Bell upheld the Constitution and expressed the hope that brothers would not quarrel. Breckinridge defied anyone to show that he had ever said one word against the Union and then lapsed into a si lence as all-embracing as Lin-' coin's. Sen.

OLDVCADILLAC them being that It would be ah surd to break up the Union when there was more important work to do. Apparently nobody paid much attention. ' In any case, neither the politi cal conventions nor the campaign brought any real discussion of the underlying Issue. There wer many speeches arid editorials, most of them consisting simply of denunciations of the opposition. Political marching clubs were formed, to parade and cheer and make music. Nowhere in the rec ord of that I860 campaign can you find any real effort by any body td bring the terrible prob lem out into the open and explore the possibilities of a settlement. The Southern extremists said that if the anti-slavery crowd won the election the Southern states would secede; the Northern ex tremists said that this was non sensejust empty talk raised for political effect. Lincoln kept silent. The Constitutional Union party de plored all of the angry talk, and Sen. Douglas the only candidate who really got on the stump and tried to make a campaign of it ' found that in the North he was run ning against Lincoln, and in the South against Breckinridge. In the end, of course, Lincoln was elected, with a. solid electoral majority and a solid minority of the popular vote. But the trouble now was that this election, with everything that had gone before, had simply brought things to a head instead of providing a solu tion for anything.
