The blacks ha ve4 nothing to lose except their freedom. Writers from Joseph Conrad down ' to Robert Ruark have glorified Colonialism, and now.it have become a dirty word. It was based, of course, upon white man's greed. The lands in which d the peoples lived were fabulously rich, and the people were weak. They were easy to exploit.

Some were kinder than others, but if they educated the natives it wasn't because ' of a love for justice but because they hoped to, get more efficient labor, the idea of freedom took .
