One of them was a leading poli­tical figure in the GrahamstownANC branch. In fact he was oncea member of the Executive. Is henow the bitter enemy of any polj­tical movement because he lost hisseat on the executive before theANC was banned?

During the recent bus boycottthis man plaved a leading role intrying to sabotage the people'ssoldarity and claimed that the or­ganisers of the bus boycott were"small bovs" and young frustratedagitators. But the bovcott was a100 o~ succes s. The people stoodbv the "small boys,"

Referring to the Committee otCo-o rd inauon, Execution and In­spec tion, Roca said that " it is anew form of stat e power which isabsorbing the masses of workersof the cou ntry directly into th atwork," it is by no means a perf ectorgani sation. and probably has no tyet tak en its final form.

• A revolutionary process hasvariou s stages with no grea t wallbetween th em an d the country hasmoved int o the phas e heading to­wards socialism.

• The origina l revolution asstate d by scientific socialists here ,as an advance d popula r revo lu-

tion, patriotic and agrarian, wascorrect. Tb e revolution has movedon to complete its histo ric tasksin this ph ase.

• The advances were made bya coali tion of the basic class intoday's society, the working classin alliance WIth the greatest partof the peasantry, the poorest andmajo ri ty sectors, plus the radic alcity middle class.

• Hist ory requires a consciousvanguard to lead the people, andthat was pr ovided by men likeF idel Cas tro and his associates ofthe July 26th Move ment, aided byother re volutio nary groups likethe Popul ar Socialist Pa rty.

• Ca stro had alrea dy envi sagedthe basic course of development inhis famous address to the judges

Interesting Analysis

EVERY reader of thiscolumn knows the name

of Fidel Castro, yet howmany readers know who thepresidents are of any otherLatin American state? So it isthroughout the world. Cas~ro

is revered or hated dependingon the individual's attitude tothings he stands for. Whatsort of a man is Castro, andwhat sort of revolution is itthat he has guided to triumph­ant success? The debate onthese questions has waxedfuriously. and will continue todo so.

Som e peopl e have no difficultyin describ ing Castro . Th e Amen­can Gov ernm ent , for examp le, justas they had no difficulty indescrib ing Batista as th eir bestfri end and tben their wors t enemy,so the y la ter ha d no difficu lty 10

describing Castro as a grea t libe ­rator. After wards when be libe­ra ted the Cu ban people from landhunger an d the bond age im posedupon ' them by U.S. capital. theyhad no difficulty in calling him adictator and tool of intern ation alcommunism and the Soviet Un ion .

What Kenn edy and co. seem tofai l to a pprecia te is that Castro ,who had shown h is peopl e how tobreak the grip of a foreig n coun­tr y only 70 miles from his own,was hard ly likely to allo w himselfto become the tool of a count rythousands of miles away. Yet thequ estion remai ns: to what extentshould Castro be regarded as acommunist? If anything, the Cu ­bans say, Castro has used interna ­tional communism as his tool toassist the Cuban people in fashion­ing a new and glorious life forthem selves.

The Cuban peo ple obviously re ­ject the U.S . version of him as adict ator . Th e masses have beenar med-he has no private army top rotect him-yet these arms havebeen used no t to overthrow himbut to defend the revolution a twhose head he sta nds. T he Cu­bans say that if Castro is a com­muni st, then so much the worsefor the capi talists and so mu chthe bett er tor communism.

Not all the Western newspapers have fallen for the Adenauer-Kennedy ballyhoo and hysteria on Berlin.

SOMETHING TOREMEM,BER

On March to. 1952, lheUSSR formally proposed to theBi~ Three Western powers theestablishment of an all-Germancovernment to be chosen inelections supervised by theFour Powers,

The State Department dis­missed the note as containing"nothing new: ' As a mattcr offact, it was something new andthe reason for dismissing it wasnot its lack of novelty.

The real reason was sug­pested bv Russell Hill. NewYork Times correspondent, ina disnatch from Berlin (March23. 1952):

"The United States does notwant free elections in Genna nynow because that would upsetthe a!lTlle cart. The 8!)ples arethe Schuman plan and theFuropean anny. incluilin2 12Gennan divisioD.3 · ."

Say! New StatesmanCorrespondent

• Th e population flowfrom Em1 Germany to WestGermany has been going onfor a century and even if EastGermany had not had a com­munist ~overnment as manypeople would have left theEast for the West as have donesince the war•

• Only abo t 10% of thepeople who have left EastGermany for West Germanyshould be classified as "p oliti­cal refugees."

These are two of the pointsmade by John Mander in the Lon­don New Statesman recently, Inthis and other articles Mander liasmade it clear that he is by nomeans sympathetic to the EastGerman regime. On the contrary,in many respects he is extremelyhostile.

"For a century the JH)pulationof Eastern Germany (except Ber­lin) has been declining," he writes,"and that of West Gennanv hasbeen on the increase. It bas beencalculated that the transfer ofpopulation from East to West, ifno Communist reEime had existed,would have a!JProdm ated to therefugee average (bearing in mindthat althou~h the East has indus­trialised since the war. the Westhas industrialised much faster) • ••

"For about 80%, then, of thecheerful, . rain-coated crowds atMarienfelde (the receotion centrefor the Berlin refugees) was nomore than a Labour Exchange.But for some 20% it was alwavsmore than that ... Motives wereoddly mixed. There were the psy­chological cases, the girl-runaway­from-home, the pathological grou­ser, the boy-from-Leipzig-who-got­his-girl-into-trouble, the squarepeg. the misfit. Perhaps 10% were'polit ical' refugees: and here theinterviewers had their own cate­gories,'

•Walter Lippmann

"Th e prestige of the West, it isoften said, is at stake. and there istrutli in the contention. But theWest will 110t gain prestige byclinging blndly to outworn dog­mas, such as non-recognition ofthe East German Government."

110 valid casus belli is presented." We should therejorc do two

things swif tly. The first is to drawup a negotiating position covering1I0t only Berlin but all aspects ofGermany and obtain agreement onthis from our partners. The secondis then to take the initiative instarting negotiations at a time ofour own choosing . ..

"And we must shed the idea thatno negotiation is possible, andthat the status quo mu st he keptexactly as it is. There is never such

"A nd because we are stuck withit we are pushed to defending astatus quo which has no sensiblestatus. The fact of the matter isthat we don't want a partitionedBerlin any more than we want apartitioned Germany. But Russiablatantly opposes German reunifi­cation and both France and Eng­land are privately acquiescent.

"Thus we have staked every­thinK on a German unificationwhich some of our partners don'treally want and which we can'thave anyway until it suits Russia'sbook . And we have made nume­rous contingency plans except forthe obvious contingency that whenK h ruschov moves lie will mm'ewith painstaking care, insuring that

" It is on this basis that the Westshould show a readiness to nego­tiate with every likelihood thatKhru schov would be ready to givea quid pro quo."

"This analysis suggests that a pos­sible bargain for the West might,for example, combine the follow­ing points:-

German internal re­lations would be preserved andthe Western Powers would notformally recognise Eastern Ger­many. Each German state wouldremain in its respective militaryalliance but a Central Europeanzone of limited arms under con­trol and inspection would beestablished.

"2) An interim settlement for Berlinpending the conclusion of a fullGerman peace treaty. Allied occu­pation rights would be incorpo­rated in a new internationalagreement, to which Eastern Ger­many and the Soviet Union wouldadhere, guaranteeing access rightsfor both civilian and militarytraffic to and from West Berlin ..

VOICE

'TheObserver,' London

An increasing number of responsible newspapers and maga­zines have spoken up recently for reason in the treatm ent of theGerman problem, and in particular the question of West Berlin.Here are extra cts from some of these voices of reason: New Agedoes not identify itself with all the opinions expressed:

"First, it may be worth while re­calling that the principle ofnegotiation over Berlin is not indispute. Secondly. a closer exami­nation of the proposals already

~:~: a~alcas~~o:ha~hi~' r~~uit~iJfrom the West is not so muchgreater courage as clearer politi­cal thinking . ..

"Both sides obviously have littleexpectation of a complete all­German settlement. Any negotia­tion would be likely to narrowdown to the status of Berlin. Butthere are two aspects of an all­German settlement which couldprovide an element in negotia­tions, They might be used to pro­duce, so to speak, an interimpeace treaty for Germany withinwhich the present status of WestBerlin might be strengthened.These two elements are Ger­many's frontiers and her militarystatus.

"But in what way could West Ber­lin's present status be improved?If Mr. Khruschov's purpose is toweaken the Western position inBerlin, why should he make anagreement, which would strength­en it?

"There is, however, less incompati­bility of purpose here if oneassumes that Mr. Khruschov's aimis primarily to stabilise his ownposition in Eastern Germany. Theexpulsion of the West from Berlinis not the only way to achievethis, though it would undoubtedlyhelp him. There is not an inevi­table clash between some im­provement of the We~tern posi­tion in Berlin and some strength­ening of Eastern Germany's posi­tion- unless it is assumed that theWestern aim in West Berlin is notmerely to pro tect the freedom ofits citizens but also to weaken theposition of the East German re­gime.

"Let us then assume that the essen­tial western aim in West Berlin isto preserve the freedom and inde­pendence of its people .. .

The most important decision inJuly was to end racialism in thesoccer set-up, with May 1962 as thedeadline for ending ALL bodieswith racia l tags-even if they al­ready practise full integration.

It is therefore incorrect to say theSoccer Federation is allowing racia­lism to continue until May 1962.

The Dur ban INDIAN Footb allAssociation has just refused to jointhe Natal body because of the fore­going argument. But perhaps DIFAshould remove its own racial tag?

SAM CHINA TOURNAMENT

Another squabble is about the SamChina Tournament due in Johannes­burg next month . It is alleged thatthis will be racial and should bescrapped.

Readers are invited to comment;perhaps they would like to answerthese questions :

• Since the teams taking partwill be drawn from all racial groups(this is an instruction from SAFA),is it true that this must be regardedas an all-Indian Tourn ament ?

• If this tourn ament is removed,what incentive will there be foramateur players at th is stage whichthe administrators must provide?
