DYING ORGANISATION
S.W. AFRICAN TRADES
UNION
RESULT OF NAZI PRESSURE
(Received May 13, 12.45 p.m.)
LONDON, May 12.
The Cape Town correspondent of the "Dily Teelgraph" sa-ys that the South-west African Trades Union Federation, whose disaffiliation from the International Federation was announced yesterday, has a membership of 18, compared with 600 in 1933. The organisation has been dying since Germany Nazified it. The "Daily Telegraph's" Paris correspondent says that the general secretary of the International Federation, M. Walter Schevenels, emphasises the danger of Nazi pressure on trades unions in former German colonies. He declares that the disaffiliation of the South-west African Federation was due to the Nazis controlling the people of South-west Africa, and that the only recent disaffiliations throughout the world have been the result of Nazi pressure. M. Schevenels also says that Nazi propaganda is endangering local government in Togoland and the Cameroons.
