Our of the mists that surround the politics of South Africa is slowly emerging the point clear-cut as one of that country's great moun- tain ridges that the native prob- lem is to be the chief subject on which the general election is to be fought. A cable published in our columns last week clearly showed that the Government has decided to make this question the main issue. Both the South African Party and the Nationalist and Labour Coali- tion are aceasing each other of dragging the natives into the poli- ties arena, and there has been recently An exhibition of bad temper, short-sightedness, and abuse such as can rarely have been seen in any country in the world.
