AFRICA’S RACIAL PROBLEMS
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONSHIPS. CAPETOWN CONFERENCE. Delegates from joint councils or Europeans, natives, welfare societies and church missionary bodies - all over South Africa recently held at Capetown, the first European-Bantu conference ’which is expected to become historic and a ill in the solution of the race problem. Following expert opinions there is to be open discussion to develop a body of facts useful to those dealing with the difficulties of racial and industrial relationship.
Four-fifths of the wage-earners in South Africa are non-Europeans, yet a great majority of them are denied legal or economic recognition in the industrial system. The credit for holding the conference belongs to the federaf council of the Dutch Reformed Church, which daringly proposed it in 1923, oil the ground that in America inter-racial conferences and commissions were powerful factors in promoting peace and good will. The same attitude can now be said of South Africa. The conference dealt with such subjects as agricultural development, industrial organisation, health laws, economic education and the administration of justice.
