“FIRST BLOW AT UNITY”
LABOUR LEADER’S COMMENT Rec. 9 p.m. CAPETOWN, June 5. Mr John Christie, leader of the South African Labour Party, which was allied with the United Party in the elections, said that Dr Malan’s suggestion that members of the British Commonwealth should have separate discussions instead of an inclusive conference struck the first blow at Commonwealth unity. Mr Christie added that Dr Malan’s suggestion contradicted his assurance that the Nationalists intended to continue friendly relations with the United Kingdom and other members of the Commonwealth. “ Republicanism nas never been repudiated by the Nationalists. No worker can view the future with equanimity in a Nationalist Party republic,” Mr Christie said.
