AFRICAN DEPORTATIONS.
LONG DEBATE IN UNION PARLIAMENT.
(By Ei*ctbio Telegbaph—Copybight.) (Peb Pbess Association.) Received March 6, 8.45 a.m. CAPETOWN, March 5. i After a continuous twenty-four hours' debate, it was decided to retain the deporteds' names in the banishment clause of the Industrial Peace Bill. Ministers are relentless on this point, and stolidly ignored repeated requests to specify charges against the deporteds. The debate is still continuing. Mr Andrews, a Labourite, hinted at the possibility of the workers of Britain refusing to handle South African products. The Labourites also vainly endeavoured to secure the deletion of the word "undesirables" from the short title, contending that it clashed the deporteds as criminals. After a five hours' debate, Mr Cresswell's motion to delate Poutsma's name and substitute General Botha's was negatived by 64 to 13. Received March 6. 11.25 a.m CAPETOWN, March 5. The Indemnity Bill passed the Committee stage and the House adjourned.
