WHAT IS BEHIND THE TROUBLE IN BLACK AFRICA?
By Fred Zusy
Johannesburg, July 27.
Can the white man work and live with the coloured to develop the vast riches of Africa and lead its people along the lines of free Western civilisation?
This vital question is an immediate, burning issue to 5,000,000 whites now living among nearly 200,000,000 Africans-mostly primitive blacks on a continent nearly four times the size of the United States.
Great world social forces are steadily pushing the African issue lo forefront in London, Paris, Lisbon, Brassels and Madrid-the centres of colonial rule.

This mastodon with admirable lines is red in colour and robust in structure. It was designed by Swedish engineers, built in the shipyards of Jos. Boel and Son at Tamise (Belgium) and brought to its destination by Dutch experts.
The dock, resembling no ships of 45,000 tons can be dry. enormous floating barn, was docked, towed along the Danish coast, some 500 milles, at a speed 3-4 knots.

Washington, July 28.
The US. Agriculture Department today pre- dicted 18,700,000 bales of cotton will be needed to supply domestic and export needs next season, This is 1,400,000 bales more than estimated for the current 1953-54 season.
The usually high demand would chip into the present 10-year high cotton surplus, but would still leave enough on hand to requiro stiff federal marketing controls again on next year's cotton crop.
