McElhiney Explains U. S. Southeast Africa Policy
BY RON FOSTER
Thomas W. McElhiney, South
east African expert for the State
Department, spoke in the Univer
sity Union last Friday. He ac
companied four other State De
partment representatives to Char
lotte to answer any questions re
garding foreign policy.
Along with McElhiney on a trip
to five N. C. cities were Daniel
Brown, public affairs advisor to
the State Department’s Bureau of
Near Eastern and Southasian Af
fairs; Robert A. Lewis, spokes
man for the administration’s pol
icy in South Vietnam; William L.
Swing, a department economist;
and Miss Christine Camp, who
coordinated the trip.
The idea tor travelling groups
to explain foreign policy was con
ceived in 1963. A bureau was set
up to pick speakers from within
the department.
Mr. McElhiney concentrated his
talk on U. S.-African relations
as well as some of the problems
in South Africa.
According to McElhiney the in
stability which seems apparent in
Africa is a normal problem with
many young nations.
“These young nations are
merely experimenting with dif
ferent forms of government,”
commented the State Department
spokesman.
He also indicated the American
press tends to mislead the public
about so-called radical African
leaders. “I feel that the press is
many time inaccurate about Af
rican leaders,” he commented.
McElhiney pointed out that ed
ucation, food, and population pro
blems must be dealt with if Africa
is to show progress.
He informed the group that edu
cation will be a key factor in pro
viding Africa with the necessary
leadership it needs. He also indi
cated the need for more vocational
training such as we have in this
country.
He told the audience that food
problems also plague the Afri
cans.
“Africa is now one of the world’s

Patterson Of Davidson Speaks
To Business Club Today
The Business Club will be host
to Dr. Patterson of Davidson Col
lege who will discuss the value of
the American Dollar — past, pre
sent, and future. This is not the
economic discussion originally
planned. However, in view of the
recent gold crisis, this event will
be of interest to many.
Dr. Patterson will speak
in C-200 at 11:30 a.m.
Dr. Frank DeFelice, of the Eco
nomic Department here, who often
disagrees with Dr. Patterson on
major economic issues, will be in
the audience. Both men frequently
air their views in the Charlotte
Observer Forum.
The Business Club has invited
Mr. Ralph C. Clontz, Jr. to speak
on his services with the Communist
Party in North and South Carolina.
Mr. Clontz graduated from David
son College where he received his
B.S. degree in 1947. He continued
his education at Duke University
School of Law where he received
his LL.B. degree.
ence.
As Dr. Jamgotch puts it, “The
revolutionaries have become tech
nocrats. Also their doctrine of
brotherhood, etc. is not real.”
Expansionism also is risky says
Dr. Jamgotch. “Cuba has proved
to be extremely expensive to the
USSR both politically and econo
mically,” he informed the group.
Russians prefer to “talk revolu
tion, but act cautiously,” accord
ing to Jamgotch.
Also, there is a greater enemy
next door. Dr. Jamgotch feels.
Marxist-Leninist theory states
that problems such as Vietnam
would bring all communist nations
together. He says that Instead
they are drifting apart.
Following the lecture, Dr. Jam
gotch answered questions from
the group.

mented McElhiney.
He was also very quick to point
out that the U. S. has never been
a major contributor to African in
the form of foreign aid.
“There has been a general dec
lining of interest in Africa by many
major powers,” said the African
expert.
McElhiney went on to say that
although we are not in favor of
minority rule we remain on good
terms with South Africa. He fur.
ther pointed out that one of the
U.S.’ main concerns in Africa
is representative government. !
He concluded by stating three
major policies held by this govern
ment toward Africa: (1) nation-
buUding’ (2) politics resolved by
representative government; (3)
peaceful means of achievement ot
these goals.
