Leading Catholic may be the first Prime Minister
`C.H.' REPORTER
FEARS that the religious wars of Europe might be fought out once
again on the soil of Africa, have been allayed for one rising nation at least by views expressed in London this week by leading Catholics from Tanganyika.
From the land of Africa's highest mountains — including majestic Kilimanjaro—a land whose immediate neighbours include seven other countries and the Indian Ocean, comes Mr. Julius Nyerere, one of the leading Catholic laymen on the continent, president of the Tanganyika African National Union, and the person most likely to be the first Prime Minister once the country gains its independence.
Mr. Nyerere, here to meet government officials—he has already seen Lord Perth—and at the same time have a holiday, was most optimistic when I met him last week at a reception organised by the Sword of the Spirit.
