The African nation of Mozambique, after over 12 years of war against Portuguese colonialist, is on her way to independence.

The handing over of these instruments of power to the members of Frelimo marks again one more step in the dismantling by Portugal Qf her African colonial empire Few months ago another area in Africa, Guinea-Bissau, that ~ has been under the rule of Portugal won her independence. Before the formal granting of independence to Guinea-Bissau by the Portuguese, GuineaBissau was controlled by the freedom fighters and the country had been recognized by many countries. -4 In the case of Mozambique, it was different. Although her f overseas wars were draining . more than half of her wealth, Portugal controlled the cities of Mozambique. Freedom fighters in Mozambique were inflicting I '" ~heavv strain on the economy , of * Portugal and many people in Lisbon were getting weary of thW long and painful African war. Early this year, when the army took over power in Portugal and the right wing rulers were deposed, the new rulers headed bv Prcr^nt tonio de Spinola who reswnpri that past Monday vowed t dismantle Portuguese African i uic. iiiis April coup in Portugal by army officer is seen by many the beginning of the end of the rule of repression >by ? the Portuguese in Africa. I Nobody really expected the I Portuguese to stay in tiuineaI Bissau much longer. It was I obvious to all African observers I that Portugal was losing the |? war. Thie Organization of African I Unity vowed to help the freedom I fighers in their just campaign I and Portugal had been feeling the I strain of the war for many years. I In Mozambique the picture was I just as bleak for Portugal. I Freedom fighers here were I determined to win by disrupting I the essential services in the I country. The only way that I seemed possible for Portugal was I to negotiate peace with the freedom fighers. Yet there were those in Mozambique, mainly white settlers who will like to see Mozambique go the way of Rhodesia. White settlers in the African colony of Rhodesia illegally declared themselves independent from Britain and are _ ruling that African country by force of arm. The United Nations has banned all dealings with the illegal rule and no country has recognized Rhodesia.

BPLC's second annual Women's Consultation preceded the convention. The Rev. Ezekiel Bell of Memphis is BPLC chairman. New officers were elected Sept. 22. Council For Minority Concerns Asked * The proposal for" the new agency was discussed at the Sept. 6 meeting of the Committee on Tolbert of Miami, executive coordinator of the Black Presbyterian Leadership Caucus. , Tolbert explained that the idea was to phase out BPLC's programmatic aspects and lodge them in a council dealing with concerns for minorities, blacks, Indian Americans and Mexican Americans. The Committee on Assembly Operations expressed "its recognition of the whole area of concern. . . (but) found some question as to the propriety, wisdom and even the power... to present or advocate such a recommendation (i.e. the creation of a new agency similar to the Committee on Women's Concerns to deal with ethnic and minority concerns) before the General Assembly." The committee said that "before any further action is requested of any body it requires . considerable -clarification and study by its proponents" and expressed its willingness "to hear from Mr. Tolbert with a view to being helpful where it can should he wish to pursue the matter either here (with CAO) or elsewhere."
