SIR, — A general cheer will have gone up among all who
have the interests of Africa at heart on reading Taper's comments in the Spectator of April 3 on Lord Malvern's deplorable remarks.
I was present at the debate myself, and reflected sadly on this fresh example of the disastrous narrow- mindedness which so regularly, in recent years, has bedevilled our relations with those people whether white or coloured, at home or abroad, for whose welfare we conceive ourselves responsible. And then my ear caught more than one reference during the debate to the Capricorn Africa Society—a non-politi- cal organisation formed to fight racial discrimination.
What do most of us do about it? Listen inatten- tively to the fatuities of lord Malvern, but let the Capricorn Society (London office. 43 Cheval Place, SW7) dic for lack of support.—Yours faithfully,
