wzcMA'colm X Paris Me. ting (Continued from Page 1) Malcolm X pointed out that he was not against white people, but against all people who were doing wrong. He stressed that he was not and had never been a racist. At his press conference he de- clared that he wanted to get to- gether with any persons — “white or black” — who were sincerely interested in working for a solu- thn of the problems of Afro- ericans. At the rally he attacked the United States Information Service as “one of the most vicious organ- izations that has ever been sent anywhere — it makes Goebbels’ organization look like child’s play.” The USIS in Africa, he said, spreads the illusion that the Civil Rights Act has made the U.S, a paradise for black pecple. He further charged that the U.S. government applied a great deal of pressure to prevent American Negroes from participating in the meetings of the Organization of African Unity. The USIS, he said, had in this connection singled him out for a smear attack, The black nationalist leader em- phasized the international charac- tet of the Afro-American’s strug- gie for human rights. During his 18-week travels among the peo- ples of Africa and the Middle East his “main theme was to try and impress upon them that there are 22 million people in the United States who are inseparably linked with them ... The problem is one; the destiny is the same.” He pointed out that the oppressed peoples must support each ot¥ier’s struggles for freedom. i Malcolm X explained to, the Harlem audience that when, he spoke for the OAAU, he put his religion in his pocket, “Any time .! T have a religion that won’t let me fight for my people, I say to hell with that religion, That’s why I'm a Muslim ... It teaches you an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. It also teaches you, if some- one steps on your toe, chop off his foot,” Described Trip The recently returned traveler described his trip briefly. About haif of his time was spent in Cairo, Egypt, which he described as a city with a revolutionary at- mosphere. A great many liberation movements have headquarters there, he explained, noting that “all thinking people who are op- pressed are revolutionary . is an era of revolution . ~. Which means an era of change. Tiey don’t want a gradual change: they want a change right now.” He also visited Mecca in Saudi Arabia (for two days); Lebanon; Ethiopia: Zanzibar and Tangan- yika (now Tanzania); Nigeria; Southern Rhodesia: Ghana; Libe- ria; Guinea; Algeria; Sudan, and Kenya, In the course of his travels he spoke with: Nasser, of Egypt: Julius Nyerere, of Tanzania; Sé- u Touré, of "Guinea; Nkrumah, Ghana; Azikiwe, of Nigeria; and briefly with Jomo Kenyatta, of nya.
