Previously, independence had been
celebrated by aa exciting military
■bow, a worship service conducted
by the three main religious bodies—
Protestant. Catholic and Moslem—sol*
emn government ceremonies. pageantry
and by a spectacular diaplay at the
Nigerian exhibition.
But the ball which brought together
ilmost 8,00 VIPs from every re-
gion of the republic and from 00 na-

The setting was the fabnlous Fed-

Four band*, a floor show, 75 doten
bottle* of imported champagne, gal-

hundred pounds of hors d'oeuvres kept
the milliug guestN full, well oiled and

The affair was International. Inter-

Last year, the federal government

Negro children were removed in
accordance with a law passed by the
last Jpgislature which was
seeking some way to put pressures
on Negroes in integration efforts.
Many of the educational laws pass-
ed by thin legislature have already
been deemed unconstitutional. This
law, which removed the children from
the rolls, was allegedly an attempt
to get at the Negro "through his

Votes So. Africa
To be "Republic"
By the Associated Negro Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -
The Union of South Africa will
sometime next yeas, cease to be. ami
in its place wiH be u Republic of
South Africa.
This was decided last Wednesday
when the white population of th>
Union went to the polls and approved
by a vote of H40.05.H to 775,078 to
transform the Union into a republic.
Marked notice has been taken
throughout the world that black Afri-
cans and "Colored*" and Asians were
unashamedly barred from participat
ins in the referendum iu all of the 1.T0
voting districts within the Union.
It boiled down simply to a contest
between the Afrikaans-speaking citi-
zens (mainly of Dutch descent) and
English-speaking whites. The over-'
whelmingly larger mass of the popu-
lation. 10 million Africans, Colorcds
and Asians, were given no voice iu
the matter at all.
Thus, the approved republic form
of government, as advocated by the
Afrikaners, and opposed by the Kng-
lish-spenking whites, will be a gov-
ernment of. nud for. whites.
No definite date has been announced
in 1901 for the official proclamation
of the republic. The Union govern-
ment came into being in 1910 during
the aftermath of the Boer war, to
unite the four provinces of South
Africa and Britain. The provinces
are Cape Province. Natal. Orange
Free state, and the Transvaal.
miim,. rtr.
government will be headed by a presi-
dent, instead of Britain's Queen Eliz-
abeth, as chief of state.
Once before, the republican form
of government was tried in South
Africa. That was in 195,'{. But it was
dissolved after long conflicts.
The decision to try it again Is seen
as costing South Africa its member-
ship in the British commonwealth
of nations, with all of the trade ad-
vantages it enjoyed.

Mrs. Martin told officers that she

When she returned, she found that
burglars had gained entrance by re-
moving a front-door hasp. Fifty sil-
ver dollars had been stolen from a
money sack hidden in a chest of draw-
ers in a second floor room.
Also stolen were eight sets of sil-

(EDITOR'S NOTE: L r. Drake, currently on leave from Roosevelt univer-

A CCRA, Ghana—The American press hai created a picture of
' Patrice Lumumba as a wild and irresponsible agitator ia
whom neither the Congo people nor the non-Communist nation
can have any confidence. Some of the magazines and newspa-
pers present him as a minister-political leader who must, "go,'*
if there is .to-be peace in the Congo or peace in the worlo.
Why then does a responsible statesman like Dr. Xwaaw
Nkrumah of Ghana insist that he j assorting the principle underlying tha
should remain as prime minister, along | Monroe doctrine, which demanded that
with Joseph Knsavubu as president?
President Nkrumah, like many
African leaders, feels that the inde-
pendence%and sovereignty of the new
nations must be guarded from outside
interference at all coat. This was made
clear in Nkrumah's recent "Monroe
doctrine for Africa" declaration, dur-
ing an interview at the Waldorf-
Astoria headquarters of the Ghana
delegation to the United Nations in
New York.
Nkrumah said nt that time, "In
my view, colonialism and imperial-
ism constitute one of the main sources
outside powers should keep out af 1
American continent."
The Monroe doctrine was promul-
gated by President Jnmee Monroe,
the fifth president of the I'nitet
States, on I>cc. 2. 1S2.J. It announced
as a principle that the Americaa
continents "by the free and indepe**
dent condition which they hare ae>
sumed nud maintained, nre henceforth
not to be considered an subjects for
future colonization by any European
powers."
