...five or six generations. The African, an extremely likable and excitable person, still thinks and lives in a world of his own, and cannot catch up in less than two generations, however hard he tries. Civilization cannot be learned from books. What about the countless fiery speeches of Banda and his followers in which they promised every Congress member a car, refrigerator, big house, etc., when the whites are kicked out of Nyasaland? Are these the words of responsible leaders? Is it so difficult to understand that Britain can safely allow this sort of nonsense to be spouted daily...

Reaction in the Central African Federation was swift and predictable. Africans celebrated by drinking maize beer around log fires, began agitation for Dr. Banda's release from prison. But the Federation government showed no disposition to free either Dr. Banda or some 500 "hard core" followers, and began taking precautions against another African upheaval in Nyasaland. Ammunition stockpiles were checked. Special constables were alerted in Blantyre-Limbe and other Nyasaland towns, and two mobile platoons of the Northern Rhodesian Police were moved to the Nyasaland border...
