reason

The "People's Council." The chief innovations secured were the establishment of the Volk- sraad, or "People's Council," the birth of trade unionism, and the granting of civil status to a native, "Improvement society," call- ed the "Bond of Islam." The Volksrand, by an Act of 1925 has been vested with considerably wider functions, including that of voting on the Budget, and the number of ita members has been increased.

The history of the other two concessions to the new progressive spirit was not so happy. The trade unions speedily came under extrem lats influences, and the improve- ment society, through similar usurpation, took on a political char- acter, which led to its eventually splitting into two parties, a moder- ata and an extremist, the pro- paganda of the latter becoming in- creasingly revolutionary, until its activities culminated in last year's disturbances.
