“The downright expropria-

tion or robbing of African}
land . . . is the root cause of
African impoverishment to-;
day.”

“Both during and since the
great scramble for Africa by
the Western imperialist pow-
ers at the end of the nine-
teenth century, land-grabbing
has been a central aim. By di-
rect seizure, conquest, pres-
sure on chiefs, trickery, swin-
dling, the repudiation of
pledges and promises, by ev- |
ery means open to them, the
representatives of the Europ-
ean powers took land.”

“In the Union of South Af-
rica, 89% of the land was _tak-
en from Africans or reserved
to Europeans. In Southern |
Rhodesia it was 49%, and the
same in Swaziland.”

“The Africans. have been
robbed, and terribly robbed,
of not only land, but their
BEST land has been taken by
Europeans, and they them-
selves have often been confin-
ed to the worst scrub _ land,
waterless, semi-dessert, or
malarial, and infested swamp

would only allow evidence to

estimated to contain no less
than 30% of all the good land
in Kenya.”

“‘The.;.reason , for ..... the
wholesale taking of land in so
much of Africa was two-fold:
to, prevent the African peas-
ant from becoming a compet-
itor to the European farmers
or plantation owner; and to
impoverish the African peas-
antry to such an extent that
the majority of adult males
would be compelled to work
for the Europeans in the mines
and on the farms. Thus not
only the enrichment of the
European but the deliberate
impoverishment of the Afri-
cans became a cornerstone of
official policy.”

The above are a few select-
ed paragraphs from the first
champter of a book just pub-
lished called ‘Africa, The
Roots of Revolt’, by Jack
Woddis. The chapter is justly
entitled ‘Restore our Land!”

charges

on September 28 granted the

an injunction stopping the
Commission hearing, sched-

be given when no representa<
tive of the union is present.
This would mean the union -
would never know what the
companies are saying.

The hearings which were te
resume last week were on
charges under the Combines
legislation that the fishers
men’s union was a combine.

The United Fishermen and
Allied worker’s Union charged
in a press release that the big
fishing companies were using
every legal device to prevent
public hearings, and to stop the
union and public from hearing
the evidence of the Companies.

“We don’t knéw what the
companies are hiding but it
must be plenty,” said the
UFAWU statement. It urges
the public to support its de-
mand for a public hearing.

“Our union is neither a
combine, a monopoly, a trust,
or a merger. The Combines
Act should never have been
used against us. Either we
should get a fair public hear-
ing, with all the cards on the
table, or else the far-fetched
allegations against us should
be dropped,” said the Union’s
executive at an emergency
meeting September 30.
