INDEPENDENCE FOR NIGERIA ?

London, October 2. Dr. Knamdi Azikiwe. 45-year- old Nigerian Nationalist leader, arrived here today to campaign for complete independence for Nigeria.

"I was last here in 1947 and put a proposal to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, urging independence for Nigeria within the British Commonwealth," he stated

"Our plans were turned down completely and our only alterna- tive now is to urge independence way from the British Empire. Within the Nationalist Movement there are Moderates who believe that

Nigeria can still attain in- dependence and retain her ties with the Empire. With the pre- sent (British) Government's Sir Mohammed Zafrullah colonial policy this is impossible." Khan, Pakistan Foreign Minis- | --Reuter.
