best describes also the King's feel–

landscaped with little 1O-acre
farms, each with an attractive little
farmhouse and a large market gar–

cooperate with each other. The
King of this small African country
has pointed out that the black and
white keys on a piano are both
needed to make perfect harmony.
That simple analogy perfectly
illustrates the King's feelings on
race relations. Bounded by South
Africa on three sides and by
Mozambique on its eastern side,
tiny, landlocked Swaziland has no
easy road to travel when it comes
to race relations. It has taken a
great deal of patience and wisdom
on the part of the King and his
ministers to maintain comfortable
relations while being caught in
between these two political oppo–
sites. Swaziland-rich in agricultu–
ra! resources and blessed with a
stable government-has become
one of the most prosperous small
nations of Africa since its full
independence in 1968. British and
South African investment has
helped develop iron and coal
mines, sugar refineries, pulp paper
milis and citrus, sugar and cotton
plantations. The country also
attracts more than 100,000 tourists
a year to its game preserves,
mountain scenery, golf courses and
entertainment spots.
Swaziland stakes its hopes on the
Jand more than on modero indus–
try. Former U.S. President Frank–
lin Roosevelt once said: "Perhaps
somewhere down in my heart, 1 am
a little bit more interested in the

ten men that have a hundred head
of cattle apiece, than
1
am in the
one man who has a thousand head
