KENYA, AFRICA — British
authorities here are now certain
that the Mau Mau uprising Is
being supported by internation
al interests. » ■ i
Wtthih the last few days here
In Kenya, the Mau Mau have
Shown a surprising reserve of
force. Guns and ammunition in
Increasing quantities are being
felt In the native attacks. On
one occasion several weeks ago,
the Mau Mau raided a police
outpost and raced off Into the
forest with 50 fifles, 25 sub-ma
chine guns and close to 10,000
rounds of ammunition. A re
cent show of native force, how
ever, Indicates that the Mau
Mau has somehow acquired a
good many more weapons than
can be accounted for by this
single big police loss.
It Is believed that the riots In
the Union of South Africa, the
former eruptions on the Gold
Coast, and the present open re
volt'of 1,250,000 Kikuyu trlbes
people are all closely related to
the same leadership.,
It is fairly certain that much
of the thinking and organising
for the native independence
movement Is done by expatriat
ed natives who are now living
in Paris.
Negroes who have studied In
London and Paris are in close
contact with sympathetic inter
ests in. the Gold Coast and Li
beria, these latter two states
being in the hands of all-negro
governments. There are also a
number of American negro in
tellectuals who have incorporat
ed themselves in the cause for
native independence.
If anyone has interest enough
in the matter to make enquir
ies, it is not hard to find ne
groes in Paris who are well able
to predict the exact location of
future African eruptions. Quite
some time before the Mau Mau
ever came to open revolt, word
was current among Negro intel
lectuals of Paris that Kenya was
to be the scene of the next po
litical explosion.
The British authorities are
now acting on the knowledge
that they are not just lighting
a band of Kikuyu tribesmen. A
closer eye is kept on foreign
communication. The immedi
ate policy is to isolate the prob
lem from the outside, and at
the same time offer sime concil
iatory moves toward appeasing
the political demands of the na
tives.
This is the policy, but judg
Ing from the number of people
that are swarming out of Ken
ya by every available ship and
place, the native movement for
independence is not being un
derestimated by anybody.
