...competition with Leopoldville. Salumu dealt harshly with Lumumba's foes. When eleven anti-Lumumba members of the Congo's Parliament flew back to oppose the regime in Stanleyville, Salumu's men grabbed them off the plane, beat them mercilessly.

There is no need to wait for a mass movement to cure the "mental lethargy" of collectivism, said the bishops. "The heroes of our history have not been blind forces but stouthearted persons; our worthy national goals have been achieved not as a result of environment but by men who made their environment ... If our future is to be worthy of our past, if the fruit of America's promise is not to wither before it has reached full...
