DIFFERENCES AT PARTY
BRITISH MINISTER, WHITE SETTLERS LONDON, September 5. The colour bar in Tanganyika is reported to have led to differences at a party given by white settlers for the British Minister of State for Colonial Affairs (Mr John Dugdale). The party was first to have been held in an hotel at Arisha, but when Mr Dugdale found that the hotel applied the colour bar, he refused to attend. The guests were then invited to the home of Captain Rydon, a prominent settler. It is reported that when Mr Dugdale arrived at Captain Rydon’s, house several of the guests refused to be introduced to him, and shortly afterwards the Minister left. Afterwards Mr Dugdale issued a statement in which he said: “It was not until I got to Africa that I met the type of settler one reads about in books, tiie man who believes that God made Africa for him to exploit, and the African to serve him and do what he is told.”
