Senghor, who arrives in Ot- tawa late in September, a few weeks before his 60th birthday, is not only a highly effective politician, He is also a poet of international stature, a passion- ate advocate of African culture, an articulate student of political history and a recognized expert on the French language. . He has been the prime force in Senegalese politics since the Second World War and head of the nation's 3,400,000 people as prime minister or president since it gained independence within the French community in 1958. A short, slender man with rimless spectacles and a patent aura of grace and sophistica- tion, Senghor has a personality that seems to reconcila host of contradictions.

He is a former teacher at a Paris lycee who became a dep- uty in France's National As- sembly and a junior government minister. He is married to a Frenchwoman and takes regular' holidays on a farm he owns in Normandy. WRITES IN FRENCH Nowhere is the paradox--the duality of character -- more plain than in' his poetry. His poems are written in French, but inevitably turn on African subjects. Gathered into half a dozen anthologies, they have earned him the Grand Prix Internationale de Poesie and an enviable reputation in the French-speaking world. His command of French is such that he was on a commit- tee that drafted the post-war constitution of France's Fourth committee dealing with the clar- ity and spirit of the French text. He has described French LV ng ee nena eee rey ar arte Visiting African Leader Cultured, Complex Man as a "great organ with every tone and every effect."

When it be- came independent, it was al- ready on the verge of industrial development, with a solid mid- die class and a substantial body of intellectuals and business- men. Senghor was the son of a prosperous merchant family of the Serer tribe, He was edu- cated in Dakar, th: sophisti- cated capital of Senegal, and in Paris, where he became the first African to win an "agrega- tion" --qualification to teach at a lycee. He taught at Tours and Paris before joining the French Army at the outbreak of the Second World War. Captured and in- terned, he organized resistance among his fellow prisoners: After the liberation, he became one of two deputies. for Senegal to the National Assembly, POLITICS ARE MODERATE His position as chief political seriously challenged since his Union Progressiste Senegal- aise dominates political life. figure in Senegal has not Politically, Senghor has ways been on the moderate wing, evolving a philosophy "African socialism" that now combines elements of Marxism and Christian humanism.
