' Tito Senate, in, which the South African Party holds a majority, rejected by 17 votes to 13, a Government Bill, popularly known as tho "Colour J>ar Bill," which debars natives from skilled occupations. Senator De Wet, Leader of the Opposition, declared that the real motive behind the Bill was, once and for all, to establish white supremacy in tho industrial world.
The Minister of Mines maintained that the abandonment of the colour bar meant the wiping out of white civilisation.
The rejection of the Bill, which was forced through the Assembly despite strenuous opposition, will be greatly resented by the Government.
