...year-old Ghana, whose economy is almost wholly agricultural, the Volta dam and smelter combination could well provide the springboard to a miniature industrial revolution. Ghana's chief resources are the tremendous hydroelectric power potential of the Volta River and a large supply of bauxite ore from which aluminum can be extracted if large amounts of electricity are available.

...areas. But the military usefulness of the bases, Makarios warned, will depend on "the friendliness and cooperation of the Cypriot people." Makarios declared last week that he would object to a nuclear stockpile on Cyprus, and added: "Nor would we agree to the use of the bases as a springboard for attack on any country."
