RACIALISM
Sir, —Det me assure “Springbok” ' that Dr. Malan and his party have not ; the slightest intention of bringing the I natives up to the level of civilised people. Too often I have been told i by “Ware Afrikaaners” that the negro I cannot be educated; he is just “an animal.” The big profits of the gold mines and the farmer’s prosperity rest almost entirely upon the plentiful supply of cheap black labour. I have not heard that natives are barred from churches. The languages enforce separate services very often. Read that enlightening book, “The Black Man’s Burden,” by John Burger.— Yours, etc., H. E. DOWNES. September 19, 1949.
