PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinioq Katanga Complex The . Katanga Parliament set its conditio i ns this iveek for rejoining the Republic, of the Congo. What the Congo lese Aovernment will say to these. terms is a one question arid-wher the parliamentaiy decision will actually end the mineral-rich province's secession is another. ' The Katanga-Congo problem thus continues to be vital in a world of many crises. The region is symbolic in that it no -longer lies in the "heart 'IA darkness" but in the heart of the new Africa. Behind the headlines is maze of conflicting_and. com : - pUcating Interests. For example, Belgian and other for eign business concerns seek to retain control of their mining properties. The United States has supported the United Nations in its attempts to restore Congo unity and rid the Katanga army of mercenaries. The SOviet Union and several African nations have raised the traditional' "imperialist" cry about U.N. and Western European actions in the Congo. A map study will quickly show; that the present Congo boundaries follow no geographic or ethic logic - . Tribal groiaps are split among provinces• and even .neighboring countries. Northern Congo regions have little similarity in resources to copper-ladden Katanga regions in the south. The reason for:this discrepancy lies in the fact that the Congo boUndaries were drawn , in 1885 at a conference in Berlin—thousands lof miles froni the scene. None- of the many internal and international forces involved here can impose its will absolutely—nelther , Katanga, the Congo, the United - Nations, Belgium, the United .States, Russia nor the. other African states.' The solution lies in compromise and education on the con treating points of view. There are no immediate geographical, social or politi cal answers Lof those who demand theni; Instead of seeking a quick but shaky , solution to the puzzle; the United Nations must give the Congo the oppor tunity to develop human and economic ,resources from within itself. If U.N. paternalism has any place in thirfulure of the Congo, it: 'lies in aiding this emerging nation in the dis covery of these resources. American conservatives must also realize that, as the French political theorist Jean : Jacques Rousseau wrote, all forms of government do not necessarily fit all kinds of States. In the decades ito come, the Congo must be moved toward equality in the world community, despite its,youth and political inexperience. -The *liziition thay - one can hot win 100:per cent of the time comes slowly, with ma turity.-The Congo is,a two-year-old thrust into a world of men.

In the discussion session fol lowing the . films anti-Castro statements or questions were followed by applause before the FPCC panel could answer the newspaper reported. ' "At one point" the Daily Student noted, "the type of inspired Paul being asked paw E. Kiilinger, minister of the Unitarian Fellowship in Bloomington (Ill.), .to jump up and tell the crowd.'This is riot a kangaroo court.'" One student told the campus newspaper that "nothing was gained by the, meetings . The panel refused to permit free and open discussion and insulted people from the audi ence who attempted - to ques tion them in good faith." The editors of the• Daily Stu dent termed the hecklers "Con servatives arid assorted super patriots," but noted that "more liberal elements" had disturbed other gatherings on the cam pus although to a lesser degree. They recommended a formal debate as "more logical" means for continuing discussion of the subject.
