10,000 of the world's freight goes by air but this form of transport is growing fast the guardian of manches ter in a special supplement on air freight says years of mak ing-do with converted passen ger aircraft has convinced air lines of the need for planes specially designed to carry freight why do some canadians want out of n'orad out of nato because canada as an industrial nation has never been fully in them because she has never been allowed fully in them and because the arms lobby in washington want to keep it that way mr diefen baker knows this very well it is one of the first things he should tell mr kennedy a spokesman said a message terming the killing unheard of and unacceptable was re layed to the venezuelan dele gate of the united nations dr pedro zuloaga the neutralist

airlines want is ease of loading and unloading the paper says it quotes figures of one american all-cargo line in dicating that :{() per cent of its total operating costs are attri butable to getting freight on and off planes the protest asserts that po litical assassination cannot be considered as a formula for solution of political problems in civilized nations the spokesman said however the attacks were clearly meant to show that the kennedy administration had brought no changes in united states policy and to reinforce the chinese communists ideo logical argument that the com munist bloc

and french ac tion in algeria or irl london feb 19 — prime minister macinillan and colo nial secretary ian macleod held an emergency hour-and-a half meeting this morning with the two principal africau leaders in northern rhodesia fairly well drawn but it was widely assumed that mr mac leod was iu sympathy with african aspirations and would contrive to offer a constitu tion somewhat resembling that of nyasaland which will have an african majority in its next election discussing the movement thus far in an interview dr king said it is working ou very smoothly partly because of support given by the press radio and television about 1<m high school edi tors met at the commonwealth of puerto rieo information nth'ce 322 west 45th street recently to hear favourable re ports irom 12 high school

american private industry had a capital investment of ' 843,000,000 in africa i have reason to be lieve i'nited states investors will continue to provide signi ficant amounts if unnecessary obstacles are not erected he said boycotted meetings hoses end demonstration at the outset however the main settler party the united federal party boycotted the meetings this is sir roy's party then there were nego tiations with sir roy bonn germany feb 18 — the police used hoses today to virol the federation is a mixed-up business southern rhodesia its centre of european activ ity is practically an indepen dent member of the common wealth in its local problems it deals with the common wealth relations secretary duncan sandys northern rho desia is a colony as is nyasa land thev deal with mr mac leod if it is nothing seems to have been settled and it is highly likely that tension in northern rho desia will mount slowly until there is some clear-cut decision about the next constitutional step safety in the nome job printing continued from page 3 trie and oil fires and to set up standards for oil-burning heaters those were to deal with specific issues which had arisen builds healthy want built-in majority the crux of the problem is that the africans want a built in majority in the northern rhodesian legislature a con stitution could easily be fram ed to insure this since the white population of 73,000 is vastly outnumbered by the african population — 2,250 000 we can satisfy you when this present bill gets through parliament in the next few months will enable hazards to be identified and regulations made to cover them when an effective remedy can be prescribed it will in fact give the government a nice new handful of powers to make regulations — a prece dure of whicli parliament is normally and rightly jealous but these owners are likely to be accorded with good will be cause while the articles which may be or become dangerous are too numerous to put into an act of parliament the dan gers are clear enough and the procedure of making regula tions to defeat them can be reasonably quick the home office can assume this extra burden for the protection of the citizen in all good con science sir roy as head of the fed eration claimed the right to be consulted over the terri tory's future but he wouldn't deal wifh mr macleod or mr sandys as a prime minister he would only deal with an other prime minister — harold macinillan children if you want magazines booklets pamphlets calendars billheads letterheads but the prime minister of the central african federa tion of which northern rho desia is a part is sir roy welensky he has his politi cal roots in northern rhode sia he is pledged to a non racial policy that keeps the electorate limited to those who can meet certain standards which so far have been well above those attainable by most africans he does not want a built-in african majority wedding invitations envelopes this meant considerable de lay in the negotiations and also meant that the africans felt they were being frozen out of secret discussions that were deciding their future the con ference went on by fits and starts never getting any where
