U.S. Feels Alarm
(N.Z. Press Assn. —Copyright) WASHINGTON, January 12. The rebellion on Zanzibar was greeted in Washington today with concern but not surprise. The most extreme fears were that it could lead to abandonment of a United States space tracking station, establishment of a “Cuba of Africa” off Africa’s east coast, and advancement of Chinese influence in Africa. A less alarming evaluation was that the revolt was an expected outgrowth of minority Arab rule over the majority African population, and that the United States could —as President Johnson said on December 9—still “look forward to continuing warm relations for centuries to come” with Zanzibar.
