To the average Negro in the first week of independence, noth- ing had changed. Belgian offi- cials continued to reign. Belgian officers commanded the troops Big ships continued to carry Congo products to Belgium. "Is that independence?" men were asking one another in shacks with thatched roofs and in barrack-like homes in Negro sections of the gleaming white cities built by the Belgians. When the soldiers screamed de- mands at rallies, the new Congo government did not know what to do. In a nation of more than 13,- 000,000, only a dozen Negroes had been to a university. Few had administrative or leadership ex- perience.
