At the moment of writing there are two distinct lines of thought. On the one side it is argued that the native, increasing in numbers, is a menace to the white man and may in time outrofe as well as outnum. ber him. On the other it is held that the native-like white man is entitled to economic recognition and that the real test should be equality for all civilised men no matter what the colour of their skins.

Parliament Busy,

This decision has been taken at a moment when Parliament has been occupied with a debate on the Native question which has already lasted a week and the end of which is not yet.

There have been few signs that the native civilised though be may he will win equality with the white an. Indeed the Prime Minister, General Hertzog, has declared that he will never agree to concede such equality.

The motive of the Government in

bringing forward its proposals prac- ticals on the eve of a General Elec. tion has been more than once chal lenged. Nobody knows better than General Hertzog that under the Act of Union a two-thirds majority in the joint sitting of both Houses is necessary before the Bills can pass. On the second reading of the Natives Representation Bill the Government majority was only 12 in

House of 149 members. On the Culoured Persons Rights Bill the majority fell to seven in a house of 145.

Why the-it is asked-waste time on the Bills unless the time of The Premier, whose Native Bills Parliament is to be wasted in order have been the subject of this debate, that the Prime Minister may be looks upon the native as menace able to go to the country and say No matter that the Opposition have prevented to white "civilisation. that since 1909 the white electorate from carrying out his Native has increased by 45,740 against policy a native increase of 8437, says that if the native were ranted equality the whites might as well pack up our traps and hand over the country to the natives."

But in addition to these lines of thought, which may be set, down as the views of the opposing political parties, there is yet a third; and in this case thought has been trans formed into action. For many years the Mine Workers Union-the great body which embraces within its ranks all the white workers on the Witwaters and Gold Mines-Las re- solutely refused to admit to mem. At the moment the nativis, ex- bership any man with a trace of cept in the Cape Prozinc have colour in him. Within the last few no vote.
