THE MAU MAU
Sir, —The papers are silent about the apparent intention "of our leaders to exterminate the Kikiyu in Africa, but every morning the British Broadcasting Corporation informs the world that so many Mau Mau have been rounded up and killed, or that bombs have been rained down on their -villages. Yet the policy of self-determina-tion for colonial peoples is hypocritically stated again and again to be the aim of the British. A nation cannot be humanised and educated by well set-up young men in aircraft, who send their bombs crashing down on women and children. In Roman times there was a rising of the slaves, and 6000 of them were crucified on the road leading from Rome. Times have not much changed.—Yours, etc., P.J.A. February 23, 1955.
