Bolivia to welcome racists
NZPA Caruca.. A group of Bolivian exiles has accused the Bolivian President (General Hugo Banzer) of importing future social problems by welcoming about 150,000 racist white settlers from southern Africa to Bolivia, Agence France-Presse reports. According to a secret agreement General Banzer made with West Germany and the Netherlands, about 800,000 hectares rich in oil and potential farmland will be turned over to the 30,000 racist families of German and Dutch origin. They will begin to arrive in July from Rhodesia, Na-
(inibia, and South Africa, the Venezuelan Committee Of (Exiles from Bolivia said. ; The Bolivian Government l would pay SUSSOM to settle the newcomers, and would also allow them to establish factories with foreign capital, and create a white colony in a country of mixed blood, thus repeating what happened in Africa, the committee said. ' Neither the Netherlands nor West Germany wanted to take in the settlers, w’ro were also refused by Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. ■ The committee blamed the I forthcoming migration on the political and racial ideas of General Banzer, who is of ! German origin and a champion of fascist dictatorship.
