What New Countries Do and
Do Not Want in Government
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second of an interesting three
part series written by an Atlanta newspaperman after he attended
a Foreign Policy Briefing Conference in Washington. We present
the series as a highlight of the Independence Day season. Every
American should take stock of the situation in which this nation
finds itself today and we believe the series is a means to this end.)
BY CHARLES MARTIN, JR.
The release of colonies from their parent countries
poses a great threat to world peace now an J will continue
to do so for many years to come.
It is not so much that the colonies are released but
rather the manner in which they are released and their
own preparedness that makes
the problem, we were told. In
other words, the old Colonial
underpinning is being ripped
from the world in a very short
period of time—in fact in so
short a period of time that the
colony is completely unprepared
to economically sustain itself
and is completely unprepared to
govern itself.
This was much the case with
Congo. When it became an in
dependent nation, no period of
preparedness for the event had
been experienced. Almost sud
dently a new nation came into
being. In the entire country no
powerful group was prepared to
hold the people together nor to
govern the people even if they
remained unified. In all of
Congo, an area populated by
15,000,000 persons, there were
only 12 to 15 college graduates.
Economically the people had no
idea how to begin to become a
self sustaining nation.
Politically Congo was not par
ticularly interested in Democ
racy nor Communism—they just
wanted freedom.
Sometimes the Colonial prob
lem is created by the parent
country itself. A colony and a
country in this category that is
being carefully watched is
Angola and Portugal. This
colony contributes some $70,000,-
000 to the economy of its parent
country annually. The release of
Angola will present a very real
economic problem to Portugal,
we were told.
And how are our officials
planning to deal with these
problems? Well, many of them
said that first a solution must
be found in the very manner in
which a colony is released.
There must be a feeling of
friendship between the new na
tion and the country from which
it was released.
Second, the new nation must
be prepared for its release.
There must be powerful people,
with governing experience,
ready to take over the govern-

ment immediately.
And third, the country must
be prepared to begin a self sus
taining economy. They must
have a plan to put into opera
tion that will have a future ex
pectancy of providing a liveli
hood for the people and the
government.
Free nations may have to be
prepared to throw up a military
shield around colonies to pro
vide time for them to have a
period of adjustment. This must
be done so that they will not be
forced into something that they
really don’t want, prior to the
time that they can make tneir
own decision. This is how the
United States oftimes finds itself
in the involvement, several of
ficials said. We may not care to
influence the colony, but just
want a peaceful solution.
It was such a position that
this country found itself in the
Congo. Although the situation is
now viewed with some hope, it
is still regarded as a political
hot spot. Inability of the UN to
agree on policies caused many
of the difficulties, but at present
the UN and Congolese leaders
are having less tension.
Militarily we are very strong,
an official said. Leaders feel
that we are prepared to success
fully cope with two or more
situations anywhere in the
world with our present forces—
and we will be much stronger in
the near future. The thought
was reasuring to all of us, espe
cially so since all we had heard
was about the many troubles of
the world. And it was especially
convincing because the man
that related this information is
in the top echelon of govern
ment.
He spoke of military strength
in terms of conventional weap
ons as well as atomic weapons.
The official said that our stock
pile of atomic weapons, in ali
categories, is enormous and is
deployed thioughout the world.
It was said that it is so enormous
that there is really not much
reason to continue stockpiling,
it is in fact st) enormous that no
one really believes that these
weapons can be used and that
we may have a new emphasis
placed on conventional weapons.
In the field of missiles, a com
parative analysis of the achieve
ments of the United States with
those of Russia’s was presented.
Our speaker said that while our
program is not quite as spec
tacular as Russia’s, it has great
scientific significance and may
eventually prove to be the best.
The speaker went on, that some
time ago Russia had gone ali out
on their rockets and in the
meantime we have only been
able to lift 2,500 pounds. It may
be 1967 to 1970 before we will
have some equality with Russia
in space, he said.
But, our inability to lift over
2,500 pounds into space has re
sulted in many scientific break
throughs in the field of minia
turization.
I have the feeling that after
last week’s achievement in put
ting our first man in space, our
speaker might have spoken a
little more enthusiastically. I’m
sure that even had he spoken
with new vigor he would have
continued to be realistic because
that is the kind of man he is.
United Nations affairs held
the attention of the Conference
for an hour and we learned that
in spite of all that has been
written and said about the UN,
it is still viewed as the one best
chance for the survival of man
kind.
Its many complexities and
problems, almost without end,
were explained. The most impor
tant single issue before the UN
is the question of disarmament
according to a spokesman. This
same man, who must remain
nameless said. “After six weeks
of day and night sessions, I long
for the simple brutalities of bi
partisian politics.” How did we
get into all of this conflict—how
can there be such hostilities be
tween two countries that have
nothing in common?
Consenus of remarks was that
following World War II many
nations were devasted and
economically depressed. This
started a chain reaction, even
present in ccuntries today
facing their problems. First they
turn to the U.S. ai d to the free
world, if they don’t find what
they want they turn to other
places.
These countries do not neces-

FAMILY FOOD BUYING
BROILER-FRYERS AT LOW
PRICES ARE HIGH QUALITY
By MARY GIBBS
Consumer Marketing Specialist
University of Georgia
Cooperative Extension Service
Q. —Are the broiler-fryers be
ing sold at the new low prices
of good quality?
A.—The best broiler-fryers to
day are selling at new all-time
low prices. This excellent buy in
sarily want Democracy nor do
they want Communism — but
freedom. In this capacity, they
seek the support of the United
States and this places us in the
middle and we find ourselves
constantly in this position. They
call on us and we are obligated
to respond.
NEXT WEEK—What can we do
and what are we doing about all
these foreign policy problems?

protein is due to abundant sup
plies of poultry, resulting in
bargain prices for the consumer.
Q— As I buy broilers what
characteristics should I check
for quality?
A.—To check quality, look for
these characteristics: (1) Plump
body with well-fleshed breast
and thighs; (2) Clean, thin skin
free from abrasions, bruises and
pinfeathers, and (3) Fat well
distributed under the skin giving
it a light yellow cast.
Q. —Since broilers are such
good buys, I need suggestions
and recipes for ways of using
poultry other than Southern
fried chicken.
A.—You are certainly wise to
take advantage of today’s good
buys in poultry and to seek new
and different ways of using this
meat treat. Here are a few sug
gestions:
1. Use whole fryers for roast
ing. Roast the number of birds
needed to provide adequate
servings. Stuff and baste as you
would a roasting hen or turkey.
2. Use whole broilers split down
the back for outdoor grilling or
barbecue. The whole fryer is
easier to turn. Cut into halves
or fourths after cooking for
serving. Broilers at the present
price are an excellent buy for
outdoor meals.
3. Buy three or four broilers
and select the fleshy pieces or
your family favorites for South- i
ern fried chicken. Pre-cook the:
other pieces and use for chicken I

RUG MILL TOLD
TO RE-EMPLOY
HUGHES, GAINES
Tpe National Labor Relations
Board has ruied that two of
three laborers discharged by the
Georgia Rug Mill at Summer
ville early last year were fired
for union activity and ordered
their reinstatement.
The board disagreed with trial
examiner David London in the
case of Walter Hughes who said
Hughes was charged solely be
cause of garnishments, and said
union activity appeared to be
the primary factor.
It ordered back pay and re
instatement for Hughes and for
George W. Gaines. The board
agreed with London that Gaines
was discharged because of his
union activity.
In the case of a third man,
Chester Bridges, the NLRB ruled
with the trial examiner that his
suspension appeared to be for
“defective work” and that "the
general counsel has not proved
that Bridges’ suspension was for
union activity.”
The NLRB ordered the Geor
gia Rug Mill to “cease and de
sist from . . . discouraging mem
bership in the Textile Workers
Union qf America, AFL-CIO or
any other labor organization of
its employes.”
