top-most government official concerned. What is equally intriguing
is that he should have gone to Mozambique when one would expect
negotiations at his level regarding the colonies to be conducted
in Lisbon.
This latter fact could have produced the rumours that Mr. Giscard
d'Estang went to Mozambique for a secret meeting with his South
African counterpart, Mr. Diederichs. This is very possible,
but the latest and most plausible indication, from the Portuguese
press, indicates that some SECRET DEAL ON MINERALS is in the
offing. The immense mineral potential of Mozambique - iron, copper,
fluorite, manganese, chrome, gold, graphite, beryllum, uranium,
bauxite, silver and diamonds - has hardly been tapped yet, although
the Americans, French and West Germans are engaged in oil exploration in a big way. *
One of the richest provinces for minerals is Tete, site of the
proposed Cahora-Bassa dam, which French companies will be helping
to construct and French capital v/ill help finance to the tune of
#31•5 million. Could there be any connection? France's commitment to the maintenance of white supremacy in.Southern Africa
has already been shown by her huge arms deals. And PortugalTs
eagerness to farm out huge chunks of Tete to the highest bidder -
the Societe des Mineraux and the U.S. Continental Ore Co. have
been granted mineral concessions, South African and Swedish firms
have gold concessions,\the French Schneider group will be building
a steel mill, etc. etc. Or was it that, faced with the devaluation
of the franc, France has turned more decidedly to the colonies
under Portugal, in her search for cheap oil?
Whatever the nature of this suspected new deal between France and
Portugal, there can be no doubt that it must be very big, that
would possibly cause embarrassment if disclosed at the moment -
and that it will definitely involve the further exploitation of
the Mozambican people by western capital and the further entrenchment of Portuguese power in Africa.
