Even if we wished to ignore the just demands of our brothers. our own selfinterest would prevent us from acquiescing in this situation. Many questions of regional economic development are held up because colonial governments on our borders do not have the same purposes in economic development as we do. We have the problem of refugees. and the ill treatment of Tanganyika citizens who cross the border to visit their tribal brothers on the other side of the line. Similar problems inevitably apply whether or not we have a border with the colonial country. Take the case of Southern Rhodesia: What am I supposed to do when refugees. or politicians who are supporting the things I know to be right. come to Tanganyika and start doing from there propaganda work against racial discrimination. or in support of universal suffrage? When I know that they have no opportunity of expressing those viewpoints in the colonial country. am I supposed to stop them? This is quite different from allowing hostile action against an independent country whose policies you happen to dislikea policy which we do not approve of.
