Africa for Africans

Adolphe Felix Sylvestre Ebou#233;, Governor General of French Equatorial Africa and France's most distinguished Negro, talked proudly in Cairo last week about the future of the black man in his native continent. At last February's trail-blazing French Empire conference in Brazzaville, he had served as honorary chairman, helped promote a policy of "Africa for the Africans."

In the U.S., Actor Paul Robeson, no churchman but something of a Communist, also came out last week for "Africa for the Africans."
