§ The President of Tanganyika, Mr. Julius Nyerere, and the British Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations, Mr. Duncan Sandys, had talks on Friday, March 6th and Saturday, March 7th. Others taking part included Vice President Kawawa, Mr. Kambona, Minister for External Affairs and Defence, Mr. Romani, Minister of Finance and Mr. Lusinde, Minister for Home Affairs. Mr. Sandys was accompanied by Mr. Stephen Miles, Acting British High Commissioner, Air Vice Marshal Foxley-Norris, Assistant Chief of Defence Staff, and Mr. Walsh Atkins (Commonwealth Relations Office). In the course of their discussion they reviewed the international situation and discussed a number of matters of 638 mutual interest to Tanganyika and Britain. President Nyerere asked Mr. Sandys to convey to the British Government and Parliament the gratitude of the Government and People of Tanganyika for the timely help provided by British troops in the restoration of law and order during the recent mutiny. It was agreed that the British 41 Royal Marine Commando could now safely return to Britain towards the end of this month. Arrangements are being made to replace them by a battalion from another African country. Mr. Sandys said that the R.A.F. would be willing to provide facilities for the training of Tanganyikan pilots, ground staff under the air training scheme, which is being established at Nairobi for the training of Kenya and Ugandan personnel. The British Government did not feel that they could economically and efficiently provide separate air raining facilities in Tanganyika. President Nyerere, while appreciating the British Government's offer, explained that his Government wished to have their air personnel trained separately, in their own country. With regard to the Tanganyika army, the President stated that he did not wish to ask for any outside training missions. He would however seek the services of a small number of technicians, military or civilian, who would be obtained from whatever sources were in each case most appropriate.
