Friends unit i jus ws7 there is no likelihood that a stable political solution will be found in the near future and there Are diplomatic observers Here who simply do not see any political Way out Short of assassination or divine intervention. In a sense Katanga is the key Stone. The Basic congolese argument under froth of decrees coups and mutinies is shall this be i unitary state with Katanga bound into the whole or shall this be a Loose Federal Structure with Katanga Semi or completely autonomous. It is an argument that draws in nations like Ghana that Are emotionally committed against Erik animation of Africa and for creation of Strong nations that could form a pan african Union. It is one of the arguments that persuaded the belgians to favor or. Lumumba Over president Joseph Kas Mvubu in those dear dead Days beyond recall when the country was not yet Independent and or. Lumumba stood of Strong Cen trial government and or. Rasa Vatu for provincial autonomy. Prise Gem Katanga is is glittering prize. 3n 20 per cent of Congo s area it has 12 per cent of the population pays 45 per cent of the taxes and Gener ates 45 per cent of the total exports. That Means Copper at least Worth this year. Katanga this is a wealthy country and could provide its people with the highest Standard of living in Africa. Without it Congo is just another underdeveloped african nation great in to j Tennial but a Long Way from wealth. Or. Lumumba is the complicating Factor. Tall thin Goatee and intense he once seemed the Only sensible solution to the Power prob Lem. He still seems so to Many african nations that have not had to Deal with him directly. But he is a Man obsessed with Power not with governing. There have been occasions Here when it seemed Likely and the United nations achingly wished that he could sit Down with Moise Tshombe the Katanga Leader and or. Kas Mvubu and Iron out fhe whole business in a Compromise. But he has always held out for Power. Power and glory last sunday in one of his weekly sorties from his unguarded Man Sion he toured Leopold Ville claim Jig his was the Power and the glory in the Congo. In Long tirades lie compared himself to the bib Lical David defamed his political enemies said to would be a Martyr Uke Gandhi and probably be killed by the British and before he put away his bottle of Orange liqueur a claimed himself anti White anti Western and anti in. Two Days later he issued a statement unequivocally backing the in. To some people Here this was funny. A few Days afterwards when things were quiet for a spell the photographers sent a note in to him so he came out on his Balcony in a sport shirt and waved while they took his picture. But he swings the congolese behind him. In the last elections he was the Only Man to draw sup port from All parts of the country and even though he Only got 33 seats out of 137 his nearest rival Only got 19. Whenever he talks to the deputies he gets his Way. As one Long time observer Here said we can t let the chamber reopen while he s around. All he has to do is be five blocks away and they will vote for him. Send him in with a tray of cokes and he would walk out prime word not deed All his opponents Are distinguished Only by being anti Lum Umba. Or. Kas Mvubu hides out in his House Miles a Vay from the capital. Col. Mobutu the self styled Man occasionally looks Fuce he will break Down and cry in Public Justin Bimbo to the intellectual who has been in every cab inet is powerless to get anything done. With Many of the other politicians he confuses the world with the deed announces for in stance that the in is being bar red from the local radio station without Ever doing anything to Stop it. The in is the reluctant dragon Here. It does t want to run the country it does t want to make political decisions but in it does both. Almost any government service operating Here today is run by in technicians through a thin cloak of congolese a Jonas. The student Council instituted by col. Mobutu and sanctioned by president a Sav Ubu is one of its main instruments and for that reason May yet constitute the real congolese government even though some of its 14 intellectuals Are pathetically inadequate to the to every Day the in chief Here makes some decision which is Lia ble to spark off an incident that could have wide repercussions. The deputies now in recess have stil to decide on a Constitution the Basic Law of the country is hazy and the in will soon have to make even More political decisions. It May Well be that the in has taken on a colonial Trust that Wil stretch on for years. Or. L. White Maniger 207 Curry bldg.
