(Received June 18, noon.)
CAPETOWN, 15th June.
A deputation from the African Political Organisation interviewed the Act-ing-Premier and represented the grievances of the coloured population. They complained particularly about the conditions; in the Free State, which was described as a slave State, and also the prohibition of coloured representatives gitting in Parliament. The deputation declared that serious discontent was prevalent among the coloured people.
The Acting-Premier urged patience. He believed that the Native Administration Bill, which would shortly be again before Parliament, would provide the germ of the solution. A conference would also shortly deal with the coloured labour question.
