THE BRITISH

SOVIET CLAIMS FOOTHOLD IN ETHIOPIA

A

By WALTER KOLARZ

SEMI-OFFICIAL Soviet source has trium- phantly announced that pro-Soviet ten- dencies are growing in the heart of Africa, in the independent empire of Ethiopia.

A long report published by the popular Russian magazine, Ogonyok, on the country of Emperor Haile Selassio Indirectly confirmed the impression of British colonial experts that Ethiopia has been ear-marked by the Kremli as the centre of Soviet activities for central and eastern Africa.

The colonial experts have claimed for some time that Soviet propaganda penetrated' from Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital, into Kenya, Uganda, Somaliland and other African territories.

Ogonyok, which sent a special correspondent to Ethiopia, asserted that "the Ethiopians have extremely warm feelings towards Soviet Russia.” Also: "The word Russia is for the Ethiopians tantamount to friendship and mutual respect."

southern England, is a plaque bearing these words:

"Presented by Staff and Faculty of Shrivenham American University to the British Army in commemoration of the University's residence at Shrivenham Barracks 1st Aug. to 5th Dec., 1045."

Now, in these same buildings, the British Army has created its own university with a student population of some four hundred officers. This Military College of Science will have the role of educating officers in pure science and technology so that they may be capable of appreciating the scientist's and engineer's problems in relation to the technological aspects of war. It will also train officers to apply their military knowledge and experience to these problems, so that they may later advice on the design and development of military mate-

rinl.

The College has two major func- tions. To give a university training in engineering or the natural sciences to young officers who have recently graduated from

the Royal Milltary Academy at Sandhurst, and also to instruct more senior ofeers in mili- lary technology in order to quality them for appointments in the Minis try of Supply or as Technical Staff Oncers in the Army Itself.

The young officers are drawn prin- cipally from the Royal Engineers. Royal Corps of Signals and Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, and they require a university train-

In order that they may be fully qualified officers of their respective corps. They include, however, a number of officers from other arms, notably Royal Armoured Corps and Royal Artillery, who have selentine lennings and who are destined future to take their part in the de- velopment of the material of their respective arms.

of international repute.

"In Ethiopia," Ogonyok asserted. "people are talking with affection of the land of Socialism which is always

championing the cause of peace and security and always defending the freedom and indepen- dence of peaceful peoples."

Ethiopia is one of the few coon- tries of the world where a Com- munist party has never come into existence, and Ogonyok dlá not claim that such a party exisled there: now.
