RACIAL CONDITIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA FOSTER COMMUNISM
LONDON, April 27 (Recd. 7.35 pm), Miss Monica Whatelcy, a former Labour member of the London County Council, and an India League member ,who went to South Africa to study racial conditions, said that she
was sending a 700-page report to all Commonwealth Prime Ministers now in conference here. She said she was a Catholic and a passionate believer in deomcracy, but that if she lived in South Africa she would find it extremely difficult to vote for anybody but the Communist Party, which was the only political organisation pledged to do away with the colour bar.
Miss Whateley said that by its policy Malan’s Government was opening the door to Communism in South Africa. There was day-to-day cruelty. Coloured people were deprived of their fundamental rights and endlessly humiliated.—Reuter.
