his ears.  It also appears in the iist of the charges presented by'  •
the students against the Mozambique Institute.
In further trying to understand the Eeverend Father, I can see'
how in analysing all that he had done in Mozambique for FRELIMO and
what he thought was its educational policy he must have been deeply
disillusioned with the leadership of the movement.  He must have
noted that he had sent so many young people to FRELIMO, promising
to them that they would be automatically taken into the secondary
school programme and even be sent abroad to continue their studies
in the uni'versities.  But now considering the present educational
policy and programme of FRELIMO, it seems to him fhat his objectives
may never be attained, at least by his young protegees.  It is here
where one can observe, in dedicated religious man, the effect of
violent conflict between his conscience and his reason. He must have
come to the "unsettling conclusion that in front of these young
people whom he has encouraged and sent to FRELIMO in order to continue
their studies to the very highest level possible, but who are now
envisaging total involvement in the immediate task of liberating
their country, Father Gwenjere has to consider himself a liar - the
worst thing that an honest churchman can allow himself to be.  How
otherwise can he save himself from this predicament?
It is in this way that we can understand Father Gwenjere's
actions against the Institute and the leaders of FRELIMO.  He must
have felt compelled to make every effort within his means to
undermine the moral prestige and power of the leaders of FRELIMO and
the teachers and administrators of the school to see if a new
structure could be built on the old, both political and educational,
in order to assure his protegees the promised goal: unlimited
educational facilities ahead, unhampered by any political or military
activities.  Failing this Father Gwenjere is ready to send these young
people to other schools in Tanzania or abroad.  This Fattuer
Gwenjere has shouted to me in private and in public, often in the
presence of"the students.  This is part of the drama in which we are.

4-. Accusations levelled against the Institute and FRELIMO.
I shall now turn to the charges made by the students against
FRELIMO leaders and the Mozambique Institute, commenting briefly on
only those which have direct relationship with the work and responsibilities of the Central Committee.  Before dealing with specific
questions raised on the list presented to me I would like to say that
of the four names of the signatories of the Petition to the Executive
(Secretary of the Liberation Committee only two had been registered
students at the Mozambique Institute, and these are Daniel Baulene
IChatama and Nunes Antonio Nunes.  Of the other two, one was a student
at University in the Soviet Union until the miffldffle of 1967> when he
was asked to leave the Soviet Union due to emotional difficulties
which impeded the continuation of his studies.  The university
authorities had advised us to put him under psychiatric observation
for some time before deciding as to whether he could return to his
tudies.  We placed him -under the care of Dr. Swift of the Muhinbili
ospital in Dar es Salaam, and we were awaiting his final decision
hen Antonio Chade began to get involved in the internal affairs of
bhe Mozambique Institute to the point where he joined the tv/o former
btudents on the Institute in signing the petition.  The other signer
£)f the petition, Floriano S. Unango is an unknown person.
Of the 11 charges or allegations made against FRELIMO leaders
knd the Mozambique Institute I shall comment on numbers 1; 3; ^; 5;
b; 8; and 11.
