The Rhodesia government is on a campaign to evict and prosecute all Africans who are renting and operating offices in cities in Rhodesia, Trades Union Congress offices have been closed and Africans who were renting offices and flats in the cities are being evicted and prosecuted. All this is being done to enforce the R.F. policy and the Land Apportionment Act which rese erves the use of all facilities in cities exclusively for whites. All missionary schools which have been operating multi-racially have been warned and told to remove all Africans from their schools by the beginning of next year. The reason is that multi-racial schools violate the sscred R.F. policy of white supremacy and no equality between the elect white settlers and the Africans. The settler Minister of Education, Arthur Smith, has banned every form of political activity by holders of government scholarship. New applicants for government scholarships and bursaries are now required to sign a declaration of political castration before the award. Severe penalties will be imposed for a breach of the ban. This ban is intended to cut political activities by Africans who usually can only go to colleges and universities through winning a government scholarship on merits alone. White students will not be affected by the ban because there is no need for them to indulge in politics since they are part and parcel of the privileged establishment and government. The Rhodesian army has been on a guerrilla warfare combat practice called "Long drag! against a possible uprising by African revolutionaries now, and in the event of a U.D.I., Z.A.P.U., the implacable enemy of white minority rule, would be their target. Answering the motion by Chad Chipunza on the independence issue, Ian Smith said: "We have no intention of changing our’old policy of master and servent relation. We have long since passed that stage...we may accept apartheid in 20 years from now." An African M.P., Mr. Chad Chipunza, a junior minister in Roy Welensky's cabinet, moving a motion for negotiated independence, said, inter alia, "There was a time when many of us could see a bright future in peace and prosperity for all people, irrespective of colour or creed. Today I think it is fair © to say that to those of us who have a dark complexion, the lights of freedom and the lights of self-determination, which is every human being's desire to have in the land of his birth, are beginning to flicker to extinction. WNegotiations to determine our future are being made over our heads. Very soon decisions will be made without any reference or consultation with us - as if we did not exist."" This was not the correct way to go about public affairs. "But there are millions of people with every right to regard themselves as Rhodesian citizens whose opinion cannot be consulted in such a way." They might be ignorant but they are not stupid. “But if we are to enjoy govern= ment by consent....we cannot ignore their attitude entirely." The Rhodesian policy and army are being increased for any eventuality. The intensified reign of terror, intimidation, arrests, detentions and restrictions continues. More than 5,600 Z.A.P.U. supporters are still under restriction,. *From the Zimbabwe Review monthly bulletin of Z.A.P.U., 374, Grays Inn Rd.,
