export of arms destined for use in the Portuguese overseas territories".
Concerning that declaration we have the following to says
1 - We welcome this embargo.
2 - However, there are a certain number of facts which m&ke
us doubt the seriousness of this decisions
a) In August of this year, members of the British
Labour Party visited Angola and Mozambique at the invitation of the Portuguese government, and issued
press statements lauding the colonialist policy of
Salazar. The refusal to supply arms would infer a
condemnation of that policy. Nothing leads us to
believe that during the last three months the position of the British Labour Party concerning Portuguese colonialism has changed.
b) The Labour Party declared also that it would
cut the supply of war material to the Government
of South Africa. However, some days ago 16 war
planes were sold to Verwoerd.
c) The terms of Mr. Wilson's declaration are
suspicious. In fact, the embargo falls only on
"arms destined for use in the Portuguese overseas
territories". Which arms are these? No arms are
sold to Portugal with the label "To be used only
in Europe". Mr. Wilson cannot control the use
made of the aims by the Portuguese, and he knows
it. The reservation contained in Mr. Wilson's
declaration makes the announced decision valueless.
*******
"ACCIDENT" AT A BATUQUE
Since the beginning of our struggle, FRELIMO has developed an
intensive programme to make the people within Mozambique politically
aware, to create in the Mozambican people a firm determination to
fight without flagging until the final victory, and to make them sure
of the inevitability of our victory.
Our action has been fruitful.' The majority of the Mozambican
people are conscious of all the problems related to our struggle. It
is not only from a mere emotional reaction but because of a reasoned
decision that they fight today against Portuguese colonialism.
We would like now to tell of an incident which occurred some weeks
ago in Mozambique, and which came to our knowledge through our militants. It proves that the Portuguese domination in Mozambique is declining. Psychologically Mozambique already belongs absolutely to the
Mozambican people „
