After the hangings ...
Sir: Having just read Sir Alec Douglas-Home's article in your issue of 15 March (`After the hangings, what now?'), could I just mention that there is one non-racial country left in Africa now, and that is Malawi?
If this tiny, independent African state goes on as it is doing now, it could become an example to the rest of the continent, if not the world. There is no discrimination practised against either Europeans or Asians; indeed, it is °ler privilege (and I am speaking as an English- woman) to back and defend Malawi's principle of multi-racialism instead of, as in Rhodesia, backing a small white minority clinging on to its so-called rights at all costs, without justice. When we know here that we have done this to the best of our ability and our work in all senses is done, we shall withdraw if need be but not until we sense that that is what is required by our hosts. All Africans, all Euro- peans, all Asians of goodwill can take courage by just watching this good country.
