BUGANDA I T is most important that the two delegations from
Buganda now in this country to discuss the Kabaka's return and the new constitution which is to convert him into a constitu- tional monarch, should not return empty-handed. Failure will lead to deadlock in Buganda, and even, perhaps, to an appeql in the Kabaka's case; Mr. Lennox Boyd has everything, in- cluding a feather in his own cap, to gain, and little to,lose, by being as conciliatory as possible. The Baganda, with under- standable lack of perception, have never really been able to comprehend why a legal finding that the right had not arisen under which the Governor purported to withdraw recognition from the Kabaka was not followed by the Kabaka's return, The reforms were timed to start in March : there is nothing now to be saved—except what little remains of Sir Andrew Cohen's face—by prolonging the Kabaka's stay in England once there is agreement, with suitable guarantees, upon the details of thenew constitution.
