"GO TO IT"
TALK TC AFRICANS
RUGBY, May 14,
Broadcasting to Africa on the fiftieth anniversary of the Nyasaland Protectorate, the Secretary for the Colonies, Lord Moyne, said the war -involved the future of Africa as well as of Europe. I£ the Nazis won, the hope of civilisation in Africa would be at an end and its peoples would be thrown back into slavery under German taskmasters.
Men from all over Africa fought like lions in the Empire armies which destroyed Italian rule in East Africa. Men of the African races learned lioav to use the wonderful and, terrible inventions of modern warfare and not even the natural difficulties of these mountain countries had enabled the Italians to resist their attack.
Many of the things produced in the African colonies were vital to the war industries —gold, copper, chrome, iron ore, industrial diamonds, etc. These the Empire wanted in increasing quantities. "Go to it to fulfil these needs," concluded Lord Moyne.
The Nyasaland Protectorate announced a gift of £29,150 to the British Government. This is in accordance with the Protectorate's previously announced policy of offering as a free gift, to the United Kingdom the whole amount of its surplus balances at the end of each year of the war. It brings the total to £117.000 for two years.—---8.0. W.
