Unquiet Africa The recent military coup in Ghana, toppling President Kwame Nkrumah, was the seventh African government upheaval within three months, a fact which lends new urgency to the ques- tion: “Are African countries’ ready for self-government?” But it is claimed

|

that such questions really have no |

relevance. A people is “ready for self-government” when it so declares itself. Thus we have, with few excep- tions, these new self-governing coun- tries experiencing intense political

conflict which has often spilled over _

into violence. Ironically, the countries

most plagued by unrest; and violence’

are often those in which the..govern- ~ ment has most closely followed the model of the western democratic systems.

age regime.

Gerald Fortin, director of the uni- versity’s.department of sociology and anthropology, agreed that much of the populace was still far from con- vinced that the new * leadership groups should be followed. - Real Caotiette had been the only new popular leader of stature in the past 10 years. Still, he felt that “the dice was loaded inl favor of the new techni- cians” because they had the know- how and had taken: the initiative in outlining new social objectives . for French Canadian society.

This brought Laval graduate Rene Levesque, Quebec minister of wel- —

fare, into the discussion. Technocrats;

he conceded, “have enabled the state to have muscle,” but there was also: the danger of them getting fed .up with working through elected politi- cians and.seeking to corner power for themselves.

Mr. Levesque said it was now generally accepted that, to a large extent,. the Diefenbaker government

had been “sabotaged” by the Ottawa. at

establishment-of senior civil servants. There was the danger, he added, that

- today’s bright young men would be-

come tomorrow’s “big brothers” in an Orwellian despotism.

We found this latter comment most interesting, having nursed the same suspicion ourselves regarding ‘the fate of the Diefenbaker regime; but we had no idea that it: was entertain- |

ed so widely in’ Quebec circles.
