Well that's our first step toward getting a regular radio set-up
for him, to say definitely the things he has on his mind. The
people were sort of hand-picked and they were specially invited
and we raised a considerable sum of money that way. Many of
the, most of the people present were told of this beforehand
and we got a hundred dollars out of practically each one of then.
We made several thousand dollars, Now we thought of organizations
Toronto, With which we would like to do this cooperatively,
if such a thing, if they considered it possible, and that's why
we called on you....find out if you would like to join with
the Council, the Council on African Affairs, of which Paul is
the Chairman, and arrange the night of the 12th, either in a
large home, if you could get such a place, or in a hotel room.
Hotel room would make possible more people, the home on the
other hand would give another atmosphere. And beforehand, by
ne
this sort of appeal, this sort of message. They could be given
sone indication of the contribution that they would make, It
would be for your Council and the Council on African Affairs.
You could indicate what the Council on African Affairs has in
mind, mainly getting Paul on the radio.,this is a sum that we
are raising for a radio project, you see. We would be willing
if necessary to send from our branch down here a person who has
had some experience in doing this sort of thing. But only in
the event it is necessary, because it would be senseless
