Executive, may I express ap­preciation for the work that isbeing done by New Age?Your newspaper recently car­ried an advertisement of apamphlet produced by our or­ganisation in which we invitedreade rs to purchase thepamph let from us. The re­sponse was overwhelming. Inthe past few weeks we havereceived dozens and dozens ofletters from the most far­flung areas of South Africaasking for the p amphlet. Thisresponse has shown us thatNew Age is read in places wehave never heard of and thatits distribution is probablyunioue in this country.

Th is letter therefore is toplace on record our high re­card for New Ace and for therole that it is playing in Con­gress work.

Your very sincerely.Ben Turck,

We want to express our viewsthat we are not going to agree toassociate ourselves with SouthernRhodesia and Welensky.

We people of Nyasaland op­pose Federation and we will neveraccept it. Even with force it willnever work. We agree with thecommission of inquiry that thewhole cause of the trouble in theFederation was that we did notwant it. The British and Nyasa­land governments have shown theNyasas that these governmentshave no hope of ruling Nyasa­land.

The Government has made ourN ya sas pay the sum of £1 IDs.a head because they were tryingto protect themselves from armedpeople. More than £12,000 wascollected in Karonga district, and£2,758 in the N.A. Kyunguaarea. 1- - - --- - ---------- - --

The Government bas forgo ttenthat the damage to bridges andpoles is not as important as kill ·ing 50 people and burning houses.What is more important-a manor a brid ge?

We do not agree that peopleshould be elected by the Govern­ment to serve on the Commissioninto the new constitution for Fe­derat ion. We want to choose ourown people. If they do not re­spect Banda as important thenthey will get nobody .

Women Charged WithPass Book Robberies

Port ElizabethIn the course of the last two

weeks, three cases of alleged ' rob­bery have come before the courts.The accused-all women- are al­leged to have robbed women oftheir dom passes (Reference Books).

In their evidence the Crown wit­neSSes stated that they took out re­ference books about three monthsago. The Dom Pass unit left be­cause it could not make much head­,!,ay as a result of concerted picket­mg.

Of the five people who have beenc~arged , 3 have already been con­Victed-Mrs. Mamaduna BivanaMis~ Maria Maseko and 'Mrs:Nozma Maseko. They were sen­tenced to 7, 5 and 5 months re­spectively. Three months of Mrs.Biyana's sentence is with compul­sory labour.

In answer to a question, Mariatold the court that she had nottaken out the dom pass becauseshe had seen the misery that thecarrying of passes had brought tomen and their families.

This week Mrs. Florence Mato­mela and a juvenile will be tried onthe same charge. l ua:~~~~~~~~~

The South African Peace Council has protested tothe Argentine Government azaimt the c1oSin2 of thePeace Council in that country.

In a letter to the Argentine Envoy-Extraordinaryin Pretoria, the SAPC said that it had "learned withdisgust that the Argentine Government on May 17dissolved the Argentine Peace Council, occupied itsoffices and destroyed its documents."

For the last ten vears the Argentine Peace Counciltogether with other similar bodies had spread thegospel of peace and heloed in lessening world ten­sion, the letter stated. The peace-loving people ofSouth Africa protested most vigorously against thearbitrary act of the Argentine Government and ex­pressed their brotherly sympathy with the Argentinepeople in their fight against war and reaction.

EmIl French A-Bomb Test May WipeOut Algerian Nomad Tribes

Arab (August 21) writes that the explosions threatensmall Algerian nomad tribes in the Sahara with ex­termination.

The outer circle shows the zone imperilled byincreased radioactivitv, and covers not only thewhole of North Africa but Southern Europe as well.

l talian physicists, the Italia News Agency reportedon August 12. deemed it possible that Italy, andespecially SIcily. would suffer from radioactive fall­out.

THE YUGOSLAVS know very well that southernwinds often bring the yellow dust of the Sahara totheir country. Specialists believe, writes Borba (Au­gust 16) that radioactive particles created by theexplosions may be blown along with the sand.

The fact that the tests tend also to aggravateinternational strain makes it clear why the Frenchplans have caused such a wave of protests in Africa.Asia and Europe. On August 8 the Conference ofIndependent African States adopted a resolutionsharply condemning the French plans. A number ofAfrican and Asian governments have officiallylodged protests with the French Cabinet, while theMoroccan government has asked the U.N. Secretary­General to include the Sahara tests on the agendaof the forthcoming Fourteenth General Assembly.

Similar measures were takenagainst the Association of ArabWriters, whose members include

The hatred of the Egyptianrulers has been directed againstthe Syrian people, their demo­cratic organisations, trade unions,and the Syrian and EgyptianCommunists. In the last sixmonths they have unleashed theirblack terror. More than 5,000

citizens have been arrested, among ~llli~~f~~~~TI~them intellectuals, lawyers, doc-tors, trade unionists, peasants,soldiers, students, traders, in­dustrialists and even women.

Never in their bistory bavethese two Arab countries knownsuch terror, the manifesto con­tinues.

Simultaneously with the cam­paign of arrests, repressive mea­sures were taken against all de­mocratic organisations. The PeacePartisans were forbidden. TheUnion for the Defence of Motherand Child was abolished and Itsoffices closed down, and its mostactive women members were ar­rested.
