Independence By CAROL PRINS Independence of the African Gold Coast, being granted by Great Britain Wednesday, creates mixed emotions of happiness and an- xiety in its citizens, African stu- dent ,Solomon Quaynor, '58NR, said yesterday. "Independence has been long championed by the people of the Gold Coast and its attainment causes great joy. With this elation, we feel a great burden of respon- sibilitytoward the other African Gold Coast will be the first Afri- can country to be released from British colonization, and because of this, our nation must set a good example to the i-est of Africa and the world, Quaynor said... "We feel the burden of all Afri-- can people under colonial rule and we realize we must make it easier for them to attain self-govern- ment.'" Educational policies of the gov- ernment include encouraging study~ by young adults in all areas of the world. Quaynor's work in forestry will enable him to return to the Gold Coast in 1959 after finishing un- dergraduate and graduate work at the University and employ its natural resources in forming a strong economic base for the gov- enment. Rich tropical mahogany forests. bauxite and gold deposits form the principal natural resources of the land. The country needs people in industry and natural resourses, Quaynor claimed.

When no move was made by the * British, patriotic groups began action toward independence .n 1948 with the formation of the United Gold Coast Convention. This movement broke down when Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, sec- retary of the party, broke away and formed another party in hopes of obtaining independence at a rst morave of this "splinter" -' group was a sitdown strike which they felt would demonstrate to the British that the natives could coordinate and organize themselves well enough to govern the coun- Nkruah owas thrown in jail at rdoatin te stke, bu the legislative assembly. At this time, the British colonial governor peoleof heGold Coast towar the British, Quaynor said. English- men still hold advisory positions in the Gold Coast government at the request of the citizens. "It is inevitable that twelve million natives of that area subju- gated by two million European rulers will rise up against colonial tyranny" Quaynor asserted. "I don't blame them a bit." Communism flourishes in such an environment where pemule are repressed and dominated, he added. He pointed out the attitude of the American sourtherners to- ward discrimination of- the Negros is also capitalized upon by Com- munists in Africa.
