Abstract:The existence of the Land Freedom Army - a somewhat puny grandson of Mau Mau - has overshadowed much that is progressive and optimistic in Kenya. Opening the Royal (trade & agriculture) show in Nairobi, Field Marshal Viscount Slim advised European farmers to remain in the country. Despite this about 250 of them and their families will leave the country as a result of details, published by Settlement Minister Mr. Bruce McKenzie, of the first year's phase of the million-acre, 5-year resettlement scheme which is to be financed almost entirely by Great Britain. Between 10.000 and 12.000 African families will be settled in 'high density' schemes which guarantee an individual African family its subsistence plus an income of between £ 20 and £ 40 a year. Plantations of any kind have been left severely alone under the new scheme and so have the big farming areas of Nakuru and Kitale. This does not preclude interracial land deals within them. A new relationship is likely to be established between the old-established trading companies and the African settlers through primary cooperatives.
