Central A frican Federation:
IT IS AXIOMATIC of contemporary world
history that the upsurge of African na-
tionalism serves as a preview to the speedy
erosion of the colonial system in Africa.
The spirit of this new movement is causing
the colonists of the "have nations" grave
concern.
This patent fact is borne out by the
serious desire of the 140,000 European
settlers in central Africa to federate the
British territories of Northern and South-
ern Rhodesia and Nyasaland into a self-
governing unit; but the 6,600,000 Africans
who form the bulk of the population are
vehemently opposed to the programme.
The European settlers opine that such a
federation would be a sound basis for poli-
tical solidarity and economic self-sufficiency.
They further state that no national or tra-
ditional frontiers actually separate these
territories, that in fact, here and there, the
present boundaries divide the ethnic groups
in half. The separate territories, they con-
tend, suffer from inadequate communica-
tion facilities owing to the different admin-
istrative machineries.
Furthermore, they consider the pro-
gramme of federation as a means of com-
batting the political and economic domina-
tion of the neighboring Union of South Af-
rica, and that the creation of this self-
governing entity would enable them to em-
bark on a positive policy of partnership with
the indigenous Africans.
However, the leaders of African opinion
in this area reject any scheme of federa-
tion. They maintain that the whole idea
is a pretext to break the last link of con-
trol from the Colonial Office in London,
thereby giving the settlers a freehand in
proceeding more stringently with their
"native policy" of segregation. They are
convinced that such federation is a hocus-
pocus, and that it would merely rivet on
them the chains of political bondage.
It is fair to state here that technically dis-
crimination and segregation have no offi-
cial sanction, but they have been established
through tradition and usage. Africans of
these territories are excluded from white
trade unions, there is a disparity in wages
between them and the European workers,
and they possess limited franchise. Although
the Africans frown with horrified amazement
at the reticence of the British Government
in their affairs, they still look upon her as
their watchdog against any more encroach-
ments of the European settler cohorts. Hence
they ironically prefer the existing political
arrangements until such a time as a judi-
cious plan of equal partnership is worked
out from within.
While the idea of a federation may have
its valid points, the continual mistreat-
ment of Africans by the co'lonial govern-
ments'dominated by these rich planters
and settlers is a pointer to the fact that
they have not really experienced a change
in their mental attitude toward the Af-
rican "subjects."
In effect, the federation enigma is a re-
action against the strong current of Afri-
can nationalism by a powerful clique of
Gerrymandering Europeans who have de-
prived the weak of their land, made them
the drawers of water and the hewers of
wood, and denied them the bare needs of
life. It is a conspiratory device to forge
the chains of a new welfare imperialism, in
spite of the fact that they nkow that a new
Africa is a-coming.

Concert Programming
N THE COURSE of Ann Arbor's many
concerts, few people realize how lop-
sided the programs of these concerts are.
Without any compiled statistics, I would
venture to say that eighty percent of all
concerts are given over to performance of
music of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and
twentieth centuries with a heavy leaning on
the nineteenth.
This leaves room for only a small per-
centage of overall creative musical out-
put which was thriving in the Renaissance
and dates back to such distant cultures
as the Greek and Byzantine. In poetry we
do not discriminate against Dante or
Homer, nor in art against Da Vinci or the
architects of the Parthenon. But in music
rconcert programs with Bach, or at best
Corelli and Vivaldi.
The reason for this is not mere snobbery.
With the advent of the middle class, music
was taken out of the church, the family, and
the aristocratic gathering, and entered the
large concert hall. It was no longer an art
in which everyone who enjoyed it partici-
pated. The new middle class did not have the
training in music which had been heretofore
the privilege of the aristocracy, nor did they
have the desire; they were interested in more
materialistic considerations. Music became
a show. It was placed on a, stage where it
was characterized by virtuoso technique and
an intense specialization on the part of each
performer.
Recently, however, a great deal of work
has been done to revive this forgotten part
of musical culture. The leaders in its revival
are the musicologists, the so-to-speak his-
torians of music.
Their job is by no means easy. Much of
music before Bach was performed by dif-
ferent instruments than used now. Dif-
ferent systems of notation were used;
many manuscripts have been lost or are
incomplete. There was even the problem
of realizing the harmonies of this music,
the figured-bass, which was formerly done
by the performer according to the style
of the period. 4
Through the medium of the Collegium
Musicum this music is brought to life. On
Wednesday the Ann Arbor chapter of the
Collegium Musicum presents its summer
concert. The preparation for this concert
has been done by the many young musicol-
ogists working in the University. Among the
composers being played are Monteverdi,
Couperin, Kuhnau, Gabrielli, Isacc, Purcell,
to name a few, and the atmosphere will be
informal in an effort to recreate the inti-
mate tone originally attendant to this music.
The scene of the concert is Rackham As-
sembly Hall, and the time 8:30.

MATTER OF FACT
By JOSEPH and STEWART ALSOP
CHICAGO-After this Republican rally,
no one can ever again repeat the dreary
old chestnut,that "you can't beat the old
pros in politics." The plain truth is that in
tactics, strategy and judgment of the na-
tional mood, the approved professional poli-
ticians of the Republican party have shown
themselves to be little better than a bunch
of stumblebums.
In the first place, consider Sen. Taft's en-
vitable situation in the aftermath of his
1950 triumph in the Ohio Senate race.
Then he was "Mr. Republican" for almost
everybody. Great numbers of Republican
moderates, both organization people and
rank-and-filers, were then willing to give
Taft the benefit of every doubt. The same
held true for the vast majority of the
normally Republican press, for almost all
the party's financial contributors, and for
virtually ever one else likely to have any
say about the Republican nomination.
Far from seeking to retain this all-but-
unanimous support, Taft took his 1950 Sen-
atorial victory in the same way he took the
Republican Congressional sweep in 1946. He
forgot about his relatively progressive do-.
mestic program. He intensified his isola-
tionism, if anything. And above all he clasp-
ed to his bosom Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy
and all that mouth-frothing right wing of
the Republican party that makes a hero of
McCarthy.
Thus Taft alienated all moderate Repub-
licans. Thus he provided, by his own act,
the real motive power for the Eisenhower
movement.
* * *
THEN CONSIDER Act II. The Eisenhower
movement had started, but was bump-
ing along in low gear. The Taft frces were
richly financed and enormously highly or-
ganized. They had counted on the South-
ern delegations, as being theirs almost by
hereditary right. Then a great popular surge
for Gen. Eisenhower appeared in Texas.
Eisenhower Republicans carried the precinct,
county and state conventions. The atten-
tion of the nation began to be focussed on
the drama. Taft managers Brazilla Carroll
Reece and David Sinton Ingalls went to the
Republican State Convention at Mineral
Wells, Texas, to take personal command in
this crisis.
The problem was not, fundamentally,
very hard to solve. There could have been
at least the pretense of a judicial process.
There could have been attempts to pre-
sent evidence, however faked, to sustain
the Taft side of the argument. With at
least an appearance of justice, thirteen
or fourteen or fifteen Texas delegates
could have been thrown to the Eisenhower
rooters, with the statement that these few
were properl elected, while the rest be-
longed to Taft despite the "Democratic
infiltraters."
If this simple tactic had been adopted by
Messrs. Reece and Ingalls, the Texas steal
issue would have died a'borning. The re-
porters who were at Mineral Wells, includ-
ing one of these correspondents, could not
then have proved the steal without a legal
brief. Instead, the naked, total steamroller
steal was decided upon by Ingalls and Reece.
And so the Texas steal became a national
issue of overriding import.
FINALLY, consider ACT III. The first re-
sponse of the Taft leaders to the Texas
clamor was not to concede, or conciliate, or
compromise. The first response was to dis-
play before the country a rigged national
committee, a rigged convention speakers'
list, and a rigged credentials committss.
Public opinion was to be defied, and the
steamroller was to steam ahead regardless.
Again, the professionals had forgotten
that public opinion can take the steam
out of almost any steamroller, at least in
this country. In addition they committed
the cardinal, almost incredible error of
grossly overestimating their own strength
on the convention floor, which Sen. Taft's
lieutenants also notoriously committed in
1940 and 1948. Again, they might well have
saved themselves at the last moment by
sacrificing their Southern delegations. But
instead the Taft people ran head-on, from
sheer arrogant over-confidence, into the
disastrous tests on the so-called Langlie
rule and the Georgia delegation.
If this is professionalism, any sensible
man wanting sound political guidance will
hire an amateur. But the truth is, because
you have grown old in politics, you do not
necessarily grow expert, and the real Re-
publicans nowadays are men like Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey of New York, whom the
Taft people so loudly scorn.
To this must be added one more word.
Sen Taft, beyond doubt, has been the vic-
tim of his friends and backers. For this
he deserves s mpathy. Furthermore, when
these froends and backers of Taft's at
last saw the danger confronting them, they
actually advocated all-out rigging of this
convention. More phony contests were to
be put up, in Washington state and Mary-
land for example. More phony delegates
were to be seated.
Popular opinion was to be absolutely, tot-
ally and finally defied, suppressed and over-
come. Sen. Taft rejected that advice, even
in the heat and bitterness of his own dis-
appointment. And for this act, proving his

DAIL -OFICIA BULETI
ON THE
Washington Merry-Go-Round
with DREW PEARSON
WASHINGTON-While the Republicans were selecting their pro-
posed president in Chicago, the No. 1 citizen of Illinois, Gov. Adlai
Stevenson, appeared to be drifting a bit farther away from the presi-
dancy.
The drift was due chiefly to a rapidly cooling condition at the
White House. It was also due to the following difficult dilema which
faces any Democrat: it is almost impossible to be nominated with-
out Truman support, yet it is equally impossible to be elected with
his support.
Fully aware of this dilemma, Stevenson has leaned backward
against being labeled a Truman candidate. As he has traveled about
the country, he has sounded out local political leaders, who have told
him that Truman's endorsement would be the kiss of death. Last
spring he went out to Oregon and California specifically to take poli-
tical soundings, was advised to keep his skirts clean of Truman's fin-
gerprints.
The Illinois Governor, who has made sith an admirable record
that he gets support from both Republicans and Democrats in his
own state, also shied away from the big-city bosses. It so happens that
they are strong for him, but the feeling is not politically reciprocated.
Stevenson has even indicated that neither Frank McKinney nor his
friend, Jack Arvey, most powerful Democrat in Chicago, would become
national chairman if he were running.
Naturally, Stevenson's reluctance to accept the Truman trade-
mark has got back to the White House, and has caused some typ-
ical Trumanesque off-the-cuff explosions. The President has re-
marked privately that Stevenson got his first mention as a presi-
dential candidate only because he, Truman, invited him to the
White House; and he has made some other remarks which can't
be printed here.
With Truman down on Stevenson and none too enthusiastic about
Sen. Estes Kefauver, this leaves the President with almost nooplace
to go-except Averell Harriman. Personally, he is fond of Harriman,
but doesn't think he would make too successful a candidate.
Meanwhile, Stevenson's friends hope to negotiate the Democratic
race into a stalemate between Russell, Kefauver, and Harrimah, fol-
lowing which he would be able to step in.
NOTE-Stevenson's bid for Southern support would be through
Sen. John Sparkman of Alabama. Sparkman and his colleague, 1is-
ter Hill, are in constant touch with the Illinois governor.

DWORSHAK CRITICAL OF BARKLEY
THE NATION, with its eyes glued on Chicago, missed some tricks
as Congress struggled to adjourn.
One was an incident on the Senate floor when Henry Dwor-
shak of Idaho, Republican, virtually branded Vice President Bark-
ley a liar. The Veep had called for a vote on whether to hamstring
appropriations for the Atomic Energy Commission, including the
Hydrogen bomb and future A-bomb development.
It was a standing vote, which means that senators stand and are
counted. Names are not written down. The Vice President announced
this as a tie, then he himself cast the deciding vote against curtailing
Atomic energy.
Whereupon up jumped the GOP Senator from Idaho:
"I can count, too," he shouted, "the chair needs glasses."
Barkley growled that the countehad been made by the reading

TAX SLEEPER
MUCH MORE important was a last-minute sleeper which the Treas-
ury tried to sneak across, and which would have prevented pros-
ecution of Joe Nunan, the ex-commissioner of Internal Revenue, Dan
Bolich deputy commissioner of Internal Revenue, and others suspected
of tax frauds by the King Tax Committee.
The sleeper was an amendment tightening up the statute of
limitations which under the present law is suspended whenever a
taxpayer moves away from the district in which he files his taxes.
For instance, Joe Nunan's nonpayment of taxes occurred in Wash-
ington; and when he moved to New York the statute of limitatioms
automatically stopped running, so that he could now be prosecuted
in New York.
However, an amendment to the tax bill was introduced by Con-
gressman Richard Simpson, Pennsylvania Republican, which would
have tightened the statute of limitations and curtailed tax-fraud pros-
ecutation.
Supporting the amendment came a letter from Secretary of the
Treasury John Snyder. The letter made the tax amendment sound
harmless enough and doubtless it would have passed Congress had
not Sen. John Williams of Delaware, the nation's No. 1 tax sleuth,
caught it.
Williams promptly bustled over to see Congressman Simpson,
who explained that he had no idea the amendment was "loaded."
Someone in the American Bar Association, he said, had persuaded
him to introduce it, following which the treasury heartily backed it.
When Williams explained the situation, the Pennsylvania con-
gressman agreed to take the floor and kill his own amendment.
