THE WIND OF CHANGE
In his recent historic speech before the South African Parliament, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Mr. Harold Macmillan, spoke of the "wind of change" blowing over the continent of Africa; indeed, this 'wind of change' is blowing over all territories inhabited by dependent peoples. This wind has brought to the West Indies and to B.G. the quickening draught of political awakening which manifests itself in the fact that these territories are urgently seeking political autonomy and full independence. Jamaica has internal self-government, and on August 16th, the West Indies Federation as a whole became self-governing, the British government still controlling its foreign policy and defence. We in B.G. still have some time to wait. The new constitution we obtained earlier this year, when the political delegation went to the Colonial office, comes into effect in August 1961, at which time talks will be held at the same rendezvous concerning our independence.
This period of marking time, as it were, is really a blow to the pride of many Guianese, who when they distinguish themselves abroad in the spheres of higher education, have to return to the land of their birth as servants, and not as their own masters. It is small wonder, therefore, that many of our illustrious sons of the soil seek employment abroad, where, even though they are not their own masters, they are satisfied because they receive larger salaries and better working conditions. Thus the fact that we are not independent robs us of many of our brilliant sons, of whose help we are in dire need, for the progress of our country. It shocks our pride even more to know that our West Indian counterparts who are in no way our superiors and in some ways are our inferiors (at the recent U. C.W.I, scholarship examinations, B.G. won four of the six open scholarships) are achieving the goal of independence long before us. To retrieve our wounded pride and to cause our illustrious brothers to return, we must continue to agitate strongly for our independence. Our brilliant sons must be given something tangible in return for their self-inflicted nostalgia � and that must be their independence.
We, the present generation of Q.C., will soon be holding the reins of our government, and we should be so well equipped academically, politically, and economically, that our independence cannot be denied us. Let us therefore adopt a responsible attitude from now, so that when we shall have laid the foundations of an independent and prosperous Guianese nation, we can say like Horace, "Exegi monumentum aere perennius" 'I have built a monument more lasting than bronze.
