GENERAL CABLES.
INDIGENCY IN THE TRANSVAAL
Epress association .1
PRETORIA, July 13
The Transvaal Commission appointed to study the question of indigency finds the number of poor whites is increasing daily. This is traceable to the prejudice of the entire community against manual labor, and secondly arises from the primitive agricultural conditions and the fixed idea that every countryman must own lahd.
The Commission recommended, inter alia, the establishment of a labor colony ; the exclusion of undesirables ; and the prohibition of Asiatic immigration.
