WHITE MAN'S PRESTIGE
ZERO IN THE EAST A SOUTH AFRICAN OPINION JOHANNESBURG, Aug. 10. Addressing volunteers, the Minister for Defence, Mr O. E. Pirow, said: “War or no war, the white man’s prestige in the East has already sunk to zero, and unless rehabilitated in the Pacific it will sink to the same level in countries in the Indian Ocean, with disastrous repercussions to Africa. It is a pity that European nations, so blind with hatred, forget that the white’s prestige concerns the whole white race, not one particular nation.”
