EXTRACT FROM LETTER

RACIALISM IN SOUTH AFRICA.—Mr. T. Barrie-Wilson (c.o., P.O. Box -247, Durban) writes :—I have heard more sedition preached in Hyde Park, London, and the Glasgow Green in half-an-hour than I have heard in all the years I have travelled South Africa, and they are not a few. " British are squeezed out " 1 I am by descent of Highland blood, and I do not see this turn of events. I do not think anyone can do it to a Scotclunan—Oh, no, not after squeezing the Jews out of Aberdeen. " The -Union of South Africa moulders to ruin " ! Dear " W. L. M.," it is not as bad as that surely ! I will tell you what we have done. The new Government have knocked some of the green mould off it. Strange thing, it was the British vote that elected the present Government. So why worry, " W. L. M." ?
