HOUSES FOR WHITES
Land Agent’s Instructions (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter —Copyright) LONDON, June 29. A residents’ association id a market town nine miles west of London has hired an estate agent to stop houses in the area being sold to immigrants. The town, Southall, has about 6000 coloured immigrants in a population of 54,000. The chairman of the residents* association, Mr Albert Cooney, said that the estate agent would ensure that property offered for sale through him would only be sold to white purchasers.
He said that the restrictions might be loosened for “coloured people whom we consider all right. We have some immigrants in our association. But they are handpicked. They are people who will try to live up to the standards we set ourselves,” added Mr Cooney.
