Mr. Thomas Hodgkin
Articles by Thomas Hodgkin on African affairs have become ,a fairly regular feature of the Spectator in the past year. They nave contributed, together with the dispatches from Jerome aminada in Johannesburg, towards an expanding service of Information and comment for the growing number of people Who realise the importance of current developments in Africa. It is the policy of the paper to provide first the facts and the Informed comment on which a solid judgement may be based rather than to plunge directly into the over-heated and under- informed arguments about Africa which are at present the fashion. Consequently it is desirable for contributors to the Spectator who do not normally live in Africa to keep pace with developments there through occasional " refresher trips." Mr. Thomas Hodgkin is now undertaking such a trip. He is on his way to French West Africa, whence he will travel by way of the Gold Coast and French Cameroons to the Belgian Congo and then across the continent to Ruanda-Urundi, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia and the Sudan. He will visit among other places, Niamey, Accra, Duala, Yaounde Leopoldville, Elisa- bethville, Astrida, Entebbe, Kampala, Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Aduwa, Gondar, Sennar and Khartoum. He will write articles for the Spectator in the course of his journey, and they will be published as they arrive.
