Mr. Owuzu Sadaukal, a mem- ber of the ALSC executive com- mlttee~however struck a note of caution by saying;'It is people, who win struggle and not money; or weapons." All the weapons 'and bombs -could not defeat the. people of Vietnam ' who. were, determined to. be free."

The event is the visit of representatives of the U.B.-based African Liberation Support Committee., The visit is a visit with a dif- ference.' It is a visit that is not purely devoted to speech mak- ing. It is a visit that is not concerned with reciting litanies about African oppression.:Itis a visit of true solidarity. For the representative of the A.L.8.C. have come with 800,000/- as a donation to Af- ' rlcan Liberation Movements. 'The other day we read in the newspapers that already, they have given 58,000/- to the fight- ing and heroic Front for the Liberation of Mozambique. This is extremely significant. It shows that Africans every- where are quickly realising that it is not enough to simply talk about our oppression and exploi- tation. It Is necessary to act and act concretely. The revolutionary gesture of the African Liberation Support Committee is far better than the million errand. f tho THE delegation of the ALSC, now visiting Tanzania.
