SMUTS SEEKS ASSURANCE ON MIGRATION POLICY
(Rec 10.15 a.m.) CAPETOWN, August 16
General Smuts, in the Assembly today, asked the Government for an assurance that the previous Government’s undertakings on migration would be carried out. He moved that the Assembly decline to go into committee of supply unless the Government agreed to continue the previous Government’s immigration policy, indicated what its intentions were regarding the segregation of native coloured peoples and submitted a clear defence statement.
General Smuts said: “You talk about the future of white South Africa and white generations. Migrants have come forward as reinforcements in the battle for white supremacy in South Africa. Are you going to jeopardise this?”
