VIII EPILOGUE
1. That then is the new Uganda as we invisage it and what we propose to do to bring it about. But it is the people themselves, you and I and he and she, who can determine all this. If you take part in solving problems of your destiny you will be able to achieve these things. Hence the need of decentralising power and spreading it to the people themselves.

Such ideals cannot be realised by any party unless it is in power, and no party can get into power unless all the people who hold the same beliefs of ideals support it.
After reading this memorandum, if you find that what it has to offer is what you would like this country to have, your first duty is to join the Progressive Party at once and add to its strength to determine the acquisition of these things. The Party depends on yur support, and your support means that Uganda gets the government of its own choice, gets more schools for
