Ying Hope Board chair Man said wednesday Federal funds now Are available Only for adult the Federal government s retraining pro Gram. Senegal Guinea Mali and Mauritania. At a recent meeting Here this grouped. Mauritania s president Moktar quid a Auldah to Fry get agreement from All the West african states for an april at which the ambitious scheme for a vast West african common Market will be discussed. The Mauritania president is now making the rounds of the capitals and getting a fair amount of favourable response to the idea of dropping Tariff barriers for closer economic co operation. But there is a formidable array of obstacles to be overcome e. One of tile big Gest. Is the Many different in addition to the Central african franc. Ghana s cedi is in a parlous position and the longer Nigeria s civil War drags on the lower the Federal re Public s slender reserves will become. Then Guinea and Mali have their own do it yourself the English franc neither valued highly outside their own territories. Alone out of the English speaking states of West Africa Sierra Leone devalued its Leone in line with Britain recently. And lib Eria uses the . Dollar As currency. Previous attempts to unite English and French speaking Stales of West Africa have been singularly unsuccessful not Only be cause of the language bar Rier but because the English speaking delegates usually become impatient with the gallic attention to procedural detail. Another hurdle is that the 14 states Range across the entire spectrum of political ideology from the grim extreme socialism of Sekou Toure s Guinea to the Ivory coast and Nigeria where capitalism still has a free rein. Seko Toure however has shown a desire in recent months to Compromise somewhat in his socialism in the Hope of scraping up some crumbs of the French Aid he so pointedly rejected. A ago. Mali has. Already moved a 1 n g Way Back along the Road and Ghana after the overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah has greatly. Modified its stale socialism the main inducement behind the plan to create this vast grouping is the Hope that the entire bloc will be Able to Gam entry into the european Market on better terns than the associate status at present enjoyed by sorr e of the 14. The impoverished mini states like Togo and Dahomey As Well As the Barren niger and upper Volta j Hope to Benefit by attaching themselves to giants like Nigeria or More prosperous states like the Ivory coast. But Little thought has so far been Given to How if at All one country can help the other and there is remark ably Little Trade or Contact Between i any of the 14 states. It is said in act that some of upper Volta s meat finds its Way to 1 Abidjan in the Ivory coast after being flow in with directions via Normal times Nigeria which has More people than ail the other 13 aspirant members put together would dominate the group and by supplying much needed Petroleum products throughout West establish the Skeleton of a trading pattern. But with the civil War sapping its energies and most of the Oil in the hands of the biafran rebels Nigeria to offer at present. The one thing most of the states have in plenty is Groundnuts for which there is no Greal world demand. Coca prices Are depressed so too is the Coffee Market because of Over production. And so the prospects Are not very encouraging for a West african common mar Ket at this stage. While some states May be anxious to lower their Tariff barriers and seek closer ties with their neighbors suspicion and the old trading links with France and Britain will prove hard to break.
