SITUATION IN S.A.
“Boycott Stirring Up Trouble” (Wew Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, December 14. An English university lecturer, his wife and six-year-old child arrived in the Dominion Monarch from South Africa “to seek a life of peace and tranquility in New Zealand.” They are Dr. and Mrs R. R. Brooks and their young daughter Sarah. Dr. Brooks who has been lecturing at the University of Cape Town for the last four years will join the biochemistry department at Massey College. They said they felt the future of South Africa was too uncertain and also that New Zealand had a peaceful and secure life to offer to bring up their child. They considered the political situation in the Union was brought about by outside interference. Left-wing organisations that were boycotting South African goods were “stirring up trouble” as were certain churchmen.
They said they thought the country’s apartheid policy was morally wrong but fully understood the reasons that prompted it. Their main quarrel was the methods used in carrying out a policy of racial discrimination.
