NEW TALKS CAN SETTLE RIFTS
Governor appeals for patience
THE Governor of Uganda, Sir Frederick Crawford, yesterday said that with patience and goodwill on both sides, talks he is to have with representatives of the Kabaka's Government can result in acceptable internal arrangements for Buganda being worked out and a future satisfactory and friendly relationship between Buganda and the rest of the country.
Speaking after his return from London, where he had been invested with the Order of the Grand Cross of St. Michael and St. George, Sir Frederick Crawford said he hoped the talks, which start on July 17, would have a happy outcome and solve some of the present outstanding difficulties.
Referring to the talks which have recently finished in London, he said that the question of East African Federation was not discussed.
The object of the talks was to continue the benefits of the High Commission common services, and it might be that the institutions of the Common Services Organisations could be developed into a wider and more general association--but "that was definitely a matter for the people of the three territories."
The discussions had been most satisfactory and the representatives of the three territories had agreed on the terms of the White Paper giving details of the arrangements which had been made.
The Governor was asked about reactions to the Munster Report. He said he had seen telegrams and heard comments, but he thought more study should be given the report before opinions were formed.
Co-operation
On the Conference which is to be held in London in September, Sir Frederick Crawford said that the people of Uganda should remember that its chief purpose was to settle a constitution for the country as a whole, one which would take the country to independence as rapidly as possible.
This was the major objective and the Conference could not be expected to solve all the local problems that exist in the different parts of Uganda.
Those attending the Conference would have to lift their eyes from the local scene and try to think more of the future of Uganda as a whole, he said.
It would be a waste of time for delegates to go to London merely to pursue local objectives and aspirations, disregarding the vital importance of evolving a constitution for Uganda as a whole.
Before the Conference there will be discussions in Uganda on the Munster Report and related subjects. These talks, he said, would be very important and co-operation between the representatives of the various parts of Uganda and the Government would be essential if the country was to move forward rapidly to independence.
If this co-operation could be achieved, Uganda's prospects were indeed bright, the Governor said.
Sir Frederick delayed his return from London to attend the Buckingham Palace investiture. He went to the Palace in company with Sir Anthony Killick, the former Minister of Natural Resources who received the accolade, and Lady Killick. He was met yesterday at Entebbe by the Deputy Governor, Mr. G.B. Cartland.
Kabaka names delegation to see Governor
The Kabaka of Buganda has nominated Mr. L.N. Basudde, the Minister of Natural Resources in his Government to be his personal delegate on the Buganda Committee which is due to start constitutional negotiations with the Governor of Uganda, Sir Frederick Crawford, on July 17. This was announced at Mengo yesterday.
The other members of the Committee are: the Katikkiro, Mr Michael Kintu; the Omuwanika, Mr. Amos K. Sempa; Dr. E.B.S. Lumu, a Lukiiko member for Kyadondo; Dr. E.M.K. Muwazi, a member for Ssese; and Mr. A.D. Lubowa, also a member for Kyadondo.
