Sir. —I cannot see myself so dazzled by the brilliant light of “Five Bright Mountains” as to suppose black to be the cardinal colour in the rainbow. To the contrary, such was the perspicacity of the Congolese that they sent their delegation to Brussels, not because of 'any imputed “disgrace.” nor even “humility.” but much more because of their wisdom in understanding the Belgian power, lifting them out of the darkn ss and slime of the African jungle And that is by no means a ’haJf problem.” to be solved by a silly epigram.—Yours, etc..
R. M THOMSON May 29. 1963.
