Well, so did I-but I know bet

I will explain It a doien of

Princess Margaret Is a sister

the is his wife's sister. But Mar

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. He got

family. No one heard anything

He was awfully nice to everybody

Africa Remains Major Troublespot
For 1961; Many Problems Looming
LONDON (UPI) OptlmUts
who hailed 19ti0 in its early
montlis as the year of African in
dependence were only partly jus
tified. 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. -

When 1960 dawned, Africa had
nnlv in InrtonenHtnt states.
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

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.

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

fying the Institution in any way
must not even be discussed.
Douglas and the Northern Demo
crats would accept nothing of the
kind. 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. Douglas did try to
make a debate out of it; he made
many speeches, the substance of

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.
