The action followed an ap)>eal by Howard University Presi^nt Mordecai M. Johnson, who . de scribed present economic aid as a “puny aftertiiought tacked on to military programs.” ' Dr. Johnson spoke ^ at the sec ond Plenary Session of the Atlan tic Congress which convened in London June 9^10. He was a mem ber of the 110-man United States delegation to the meeting, spon sored by the NATO Parliamen tarians’ Conference for the pur pose of affording leading citizens from NATO nations an opportun ity to discuss and recommend ways of developing greater unity in.the AUaiitic cQjnmuniti The resolution, adopted un animously, came as the Congress | qoncluded. The action is not bind ing on NATO; however, it has been transmitted to the government and legislature of each member na tion for consideration.

The Howard President said that the Soviet Union now controls one- third of the world’s population end could increase this figure to a majority unless the West reap praises its policies toward undet-- developed areas. He declared that the Western powers,, through the colonial system, have expliotedthe peoples of Africa and Asia for 500 years. i | “They reij»en)^er ttesf^ things;’ Dr. Johnson averr^'d; “an^ in this hour when they are called upon to choose between us and the Soviet Union, there is in their hearts a fear of us which they cAnnot easily eradicate.” President Johnson,' who was a member of the Sub-committee oh Economic Policies ot the West, told the Congress that the colonial sys tem has'brought I Hbout A division) among Westerners regarding thejr attitudes toward underdeveloped peoples. “Nobody can look at Africa with out knowing that we are divided in our mindes and that we have not yet been able to summon either the political power or the moral power to overcome that division,” he said. '^t is magnificient to see that some 70 million of these people have been freed under these cir cumstances by members of this organization. Dr. Johnson declared. “But there are 110 millions of Af ricans who are neither free nor under mendate, still dominated politically, still having their na tural resources exploited, not for their good but for the good of those who exploit.” President Johnson suggested four courses of action which, he said, would bring about economic and political independence in Asia and Africa. They were: ' 1. Put the colonial system be hind k; our minds •«(£ our allegiance' to the Christian world-view regarding the nature of humin nature and the ppsiibiU- ties of human nitur* and of a frM human society based considerations; a.
