SOUTH AFRICAN POLICY
NATIVES ASK TO BE CONSULTED,
(AI'STRAMAN-NBW ZEALAND CABUS ASSOCIATION.) JOHANNESBURG, 23rd Dec'
The Native National Congress has adopted an address to the King expressing gratitude for the Allied victory, emphasising the loyalty of the natives during the war under difficult circumstances, and requesting that the native protectorates shall remain under the control of the Imperial Government and not be' handed, over to the Union without the consent of the peoples. The resolution also requests the extension of the franchise to the natives, and urges that the territories in South-west and East Africa shall not be disposed of without consulting the inhabitants, and not -handed over to the Union until the franchise lias been extended to the natives. '
Dealing with the Republican propaganda the address requests that in the event of the white races agreeing to such form of government it is. desirable that the Imperial Government should not allow it without consulting the native inhabitants of the Union and tho protectorates, and not sanction it unless the majority of the native population consents.
