GORDONGREEN 01110011100000 Browsing through the pages off Time magazine given over to reader reac- tion, I note that one man, jubilant over the glorious American victory in Gren- ada, wonders patriotically why Vie United States hadn't mustered similar courage ten years ago in Angola. Had the U.S. only wielded the big stick then as it 'aid re- cently in Grenada, he thinks, Angola would never have fallen into the Communist camp. Well he could be right. Maybe American guts and gunboats could have. saved Angola for the free world, but what dismays me about our never ending battle to prevent the spread of revolu- tion and Communism in the world is that we seem to give so little thought to those conditions in a country which made Communism seem at- tractive to it. What, for instance, were the grievances suffered by Angolans in the early '70s which made them welcome the Marxists? Well listen now to some of the most shameful statistics of modern history. The African colony of Angola was first claimedby the Portuguese because it had an abundance off two kinds of ivory: the white kind provided by unfortunate ele- phants and the black ivory of the slave trade. By 1836 when slavery was supposedly abolished, Portugal had taken some four million blacks out of Angola and sold them on the flesh markets of the globe. By 1950 there were no more than five million na- tives left in that sad country, and while their Portuguese masters did their best to hide the fact, 125,000 of these were still slaves in almost every sense of the word. These were the blacks, men, women and children, who were forced by law to work on the coffee plantations. STRAIGHT.

Fri, evenings • By.the law enforced in the colony until the mid '70s any African might be recruited for work on the coffee plan- tations unless he could prove that he was an independent producer with more than, 5,000 coffee plants of his own, or unless he already had a job with a white employer. On the 'plantations -he .worked.._.._ - whatever hours his employer chose to make him work; he worked under an armed guard provided by the Portu- / guese army; he . might be beaten if he didn't work hard enough, and shot if he showed the slightest sign of rebellion. The army even used napalme to destroy wholvillages, justto make sure that the natives knew • they meant business. Pay? Yes, there was a little. About $7.50 a month. If. a man had children, these might be forced to work alongside of him for no pay at all. It all depended on the goodness of the white man. And indirectly these .wret- ched people were paying for the guards and the armies which Portugal kept in Angola to make sure they stayed on the job because 30 per cent of the revenue the coffee brought into the coun- try was earmarked for such things as the rifles, bombs and tanks to keep the blacks in their place. And who bought this cof- fee? You and I did perhaps, for at least five of the world's major coffee blenders bought much of their beans in Angola. Angolan coffee was especially in demand for the blending of the instant varieties. Any wonder that things are a little different in Angola to- day? Any wonder that in 1976 Angola was finally gathered into the Communist camp? What had it to lose? Why are we in the righte- ous west so reluctant to gee that more than anything else, it is desperation in a Country which makes it possible for communism to find a home. Obelisk honors Duce Rome has many obelisks, nearly all of ancient Egyp- tian origin, but one on the north side of the city, by the Tiber River, reads "Mussoli- ni Dux." Erected by dictator Benito Mussolini, it stands unscathed among a complex of buildings he put up to glo- rify Italian youth during his 21 -year rule.
