Da-Uba, there are multitudes of fictitious and concocted words, phrases, and ideas rapidly repeating and spreading. Many of these have been invented hundreds of years ago and, although discarded by science and common sense, they are still being hammered into the consciousness of the least suspected. For example : it is stated and constantly repeated that the "Good Lord" summoned a'fictitious creature named "Moses" into a "burning bush", of all places somewhere in Southern Asia and gave him some Commandments, now being used by the Christians . Who was this imaginary person, Uba ? Uba-From all angle of reasoning, Moses stands as invention to further the plans and purposes of the inventor. The same creature is said to have struck the Red Sea with a rod and that mass of ocean opened up to let pass out of Egypt a group of feigned persons, to some other part of Asia . It is observed of late that Marcus Garvey is classified as a "Black Moses", leaving the intended inference. Da-Here is another strange concection : Europeans changed the African name Zimbabwe to "Rhodesia" and the media of information here in the West is now naming the 220,000 Europeans there "the Rhodesians" and classifying the 5,000,- 000 Zimbabweans as "Negroes" and "Blaclz Rhodesians" . Isn't this an outright alienation, a planned process of elimination, Uba ? Uba-That is a foregone conclusion . Their action of forming a government there in which the five million Africans there have no say is as clear as crystal. Their brazen action, like that of their counts rpart in South Africa is that of genocide. Da-But TTba, how can they continue their barefaced aggression today with tho T`nited Nations standing by ? Uba-What TT.N . ? The U.N. is owned and controlled by the majority -permanent members of the Securit ' v Council - China not included . The group of imperialists and their 10 WHEN, WHERE AND WHY? By DA & UBA offsprings are not dead but only wounded as Khruschev warned the liberated states . Da-«'hat did that mean to those free States in Africa, especially those satellites and "conservative" states tied to the former enemy and their offspring, Uba ? Uba - It did not penetrate the brainwashed mentality of those conditioned leaders . Have you ever checked the first and middle names c>i those mentioned in the press? Do ' IN-On not discover they are all Europeans or Christian names ? And those names are not changed with independence, except by a few here and there who are now targets of foreign agents . It's a slow process to switch to the need of now-today. Da-Yes, Uba, that . is understandable but there was a time when it took months to travel from Timbuktu to Mecca . Today, with our jets, it only takes one-half day . Today with the printing press, radio and television, wire service s, it is time to be in step. It is time we looked out for ourselves multilaterally . We cannot afford to sit idle by and permit our leaders with ostrich mentality, self ASNAIM FASHIONS 2224-7YN AYE . N. Y. N.

Uba-What step do you propose be taken at this stage of reconstruction in addition to the Organization of African Unity (OAU) with now 42 free States? Da -Africa has a population of 395,000,000 on the continent and approximately 100,000,000 in the Americas . With such a horde who are now sick and tired of indignity commonly faced, and standing ready to redeem themselves, the following steps should be taken without delay. 1) Delegated agents of African States (not satellites nor conservatives) be commissioned to re-establish and reinforce the "MAU MAU" with instruction to politely inform those paid, subsidized and self-interest operators that the welfare of "the whole is greater than any of its parts." Let them know in brotherly fashion that if the masses go down, the suction will inevitably pull them down too . 2) A special meeting of the OAU be summoned and promptly abolished, what the imperialists called, "African Nations" and elect one head of state-a Chief, King, Emperor, President, the name immaterial. 3) Elect those with childish ambition as advisors, cabinet officials and other appropriate functions. 4) Designate a commander-in- Chief to federalize or Africanize all military forces on the continent -army, navy, air force, police along with the guerillas. This must be done with dispatch, since it is now abimdantly clear that the imperialists u tt AFRICAN OPINION
REMEMBER THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS IN ANGOLA, MOZAMBIQUE, RHODESIA, SOUTH WEST AFRICA only respect the lead from the muzzle of a gun. It was reported that a field marshall from Egypt was named Commander of all African Forces. It is presumed his function was nullified by the satellites that gave "Rhodesia", South Africa and Portugal a free hand to push Africans around . Uba-You know these free states recently merged. They are poor, in money, know-how and underdeveloped and having a lot of difficulties . Da-But, Uba, we have 42 Governments. Each one maintains Embassies, Consulates, agencies and commissions in foreign countries with rentals, equipments, salaries, etc ., running into the billions annually. With this one African Government the expenses of forty-one (41) states will be saved for securing peace and progress in Africa . Uba-The OAU might be moving in that direction beginning with one "Africa Hall" in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia . Da-Yes, Uba, but this is the "Jet Age", and marking time is out of date.
