COLOUR BAR BILL
REJECTED IN S.A. SENATE.
(Received 10.30 a.m.)
Electrio Telegraph—Press Association CAPETOWN, July 8.
The Senate, in which the South African party holds the majority, rejected by seventeen votes to thirteen, the Government Bill popularly known as the Colour Bar Bill, which debars natives from skilled occupations.
Senator De AVet, Leader of the Opposition, declared the real motive behind the Bill was once and for all to establish white supremacy in the industrial world. The Minister of M ines maintained the abandonment of the colour bar meant wiping out the white civilisation.
Rejection of the Bill, which was forced through the Assembly despite strenuous opposition, will be greatly resented by the Government.
