WHITES AND BLACKS
INTERMARRIAGE ADVOCATED.
MR G. B. SHAW’S VIEWS.
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, June 10.
Mr George Bernard Shaw has just arrived home from a trip to South Africa. In an interview with the Daily Telegraph he advocates the intermarriage of the white and black populations, which would enable South Africa’s whites to solve the vital problem on which its very existence depends. Mr Shaw said it was a serious question whether whites could survive in South Africa’s sunshine. While he was there the Minister of Railways appealed for immigrants as necessary to keep up the white population. Whites in the United States were normally fertile, but in South Africa the whites were not, even when they were desiring children. Possibly there .was too much sunshine for people with white skins. The probable remedy was to darken their skins by intermarriage with the blacks. The mixture of the two colours might solve South Africa’s problem.
