Africans Co-Operate With British Forces
(OY "REUTER", IN WEST AFRICA)
FREETOWN; Sierra Leone, Mar. 31-The greatest on- thusiasm has been aroused among the Africana in all British West African colonies by the succcases in Eritrea and Abyssinia.
Italy's original conquest of Abyssinia was greatly taken, to heart. by the peoples of West Africa but the prospect of the restoration of Haile Selassie is now seen as convincing evidence of British sincerity in alding the cause of freedom of the African peoples,
Indeed the fight I have just com- pleted across Africa from Khartum has been an eye-opener as to the vigour with which both the white and coloured populations are joining in the war effort.
