TREATMENT OF NATIVES

BY CAJJIiK—PBE33 ASSOCIATION—COeiftIGU'X ' (Reuter.) (Received Oct. 17, 9.30 a.m.) 1 . CAPETOWN, Oct. 15. » Outlining the party's policy at the Congress in Bloemfontein, Mr Hertzog said a distinction had to be made between the natives and coloured people. They are two totally different groups, and could not be" treated on the same basis. The aa~ ' trres desire education and civilisation. This could not be denied, yet the industrial development of the native would mean the ruin of the white j man. The only honest policy is terri- ! tonal segregation, to lead finally to! industrial segregation.1 The native would then have an opportunity to de^ '* velop and become a valuable member of the community. There always had -i existed a colour bar, but there should -1 l>e equality of rights for each colour in *' its own territory. The najbive segre- '< -gation would open the way for just ] treatment of the coloured people, wno J were to he , considered partly Europeans,, and would finally have to be 1 treated as .whites. They could not ignore the awakening among the na- ' tives. He. advised, therefore, segrega- ] turn for -the natives, and the final ■ absorption of .the coloured people. J
