duce to market. Some roads are
now in such bad condition that
a brand new truck is converted
into junk after 6000 miles.
Food shortages in town are com-
mon as a result. The Congo, which
exported food before independence,
must now rely on gifts of Ameri-
can surplus foodstuffs to feed its
hungry people.
Spurring inflation is a govern-
ment deficit which economic ex-
perts think will top 17 billion
Congo francs (about $260 million)
this year, although the govern-
ment's 1963 budget predicts a
much smaller gap between reve-
nue and spending. More than 80
per cent of ,this money goes in
salaries to about 150,000 state em-
ployes, probably the only ones to
have benefited by independence.
Decisive Action
The government has repeatedly
promised decisive action, but lack
of decisiveness has been the main
criticism leveled at Premier Cyr-
ille Adoula. The 41-year-old for-
mer labor leader is hard-working
and conscientious, but critics
charge him with shrinking too
often from a hard line when the
chips are down. Yet only extreme
nationalists and Communists here
believe any one else could have
done a better job over the last two
years.
According to most, the real pow-
er behind Adoula lies in the hands
of the "Binza Group," a kitchen
cabinet consisting of Gen. Mobu-
tu, Justice Minister Justin Bombo-
ko, Security Police Chief Victor
Nendaka and a handful of senior
civil servants. These men, hated
and feared by other politicos, col-
laborate closely with the premier.
They are considered the only men
with the knowhow, unity of pur-
pose and ruthlessness needed to
keep heads up in the quicksands
of Congolese politics.
Encouraging Politics
There are encouraging signs:
Army discipline has been im-
proving. Mobutu has been waging
a ceaseless propaganda campaign
against politics in the ranks.
The Congo has gone a long way
toward solving its racial problem.
Anti-white hatred was a prime
element in the 1960 crisis. Today

Congolese and whites eat together
at the same tables in restaurants
and swim in the same public pools.fr
The two communities have little
in common but live together in
peace. This, perhaps, is the Congo's'
best success story, coming from the "
grass roots and without govern-
ment action.
Economic Life
On the economic front, legal '
exports are expected to hit 20 bil-
lion francs (just over $300 mil-
lion) compared to only seven bil-
lion francs (just over $100 million)
last year. But this is almost en-
tirely due to the inclusion of Ka-
tanga's copper exports since Unit-
ed Nations soldiers finally dashed
secessionist hopes there last Jan-
uary. GEN JOSEPH MOBUTU

sult in a new wave of disorder and
violence.
Economic renaissance also in-
volves the government in a race-
against snowballing inflation. The
Congo is immensely rich and ex-
ports are coming from the interior,
but the flood of crisp, new 1000-
franc notes pouring off govern-
ment printing presses is ruining
the currency.-
Business circles are pessimistic,
although some big companies still
invest here, largely to protect
existing holdings.
Hard Years
For the Congo's man-in-the-
street, the three years since in-
dependence have been hard and
bewildering.
"If a referendum was held to-
day, 90 per cent of the people
would vote for a return to colonial

rule," declared Anicet Kashamura,
once one of the Congo's most rabid
anti-white demagogues, in a recent
parliamentary speech.
If the ordinary townsman is
lucky enough to have-a job-prob-
ably half of Leopoldville's labor
force is workless-his wife finds
his wage buys fewer and fewer
goods. Prices of essentials have
been rising eight per cent each
month, doubling e v e r y nine
months.
Food Lack
There is food in the countryside,
but disorder, misgovernment and
the lack of goods to buy in village
stores has reduced small farmers
to growing just enough for their
own needs. Cash crops have with-
ered in the fields because trucks,
rattled to pieces on neglected
roads, cannot be found to get pro-
