Federation Created
Abstract
In the nine months between the Lancaster House and Carlton House Terrace Conferences there was considerable political activity in Central Africa. The European leaders wanted to make sure of sufficient support from the white voters for federation and to counter mounting opposition to it in Britain. The African leaders made every attempt they could to support the overseas opposition and to get some sort of organization into the virulent but chaotic local African opposition. During this period also, two distinguished visitors appeared on the Central African scene, Mr Henry Hopkinson, Minister of State for the Colonies, and Mr Clement Attlee.
