IN PRAISE OF APARTHEID
SM.--There arc numbers of people in the United Kingdom whose views about apartheid are very seldom allowed to be publicised by the national press. These people, of whom I am one, believe that in a multi-racial State government should be firmly in the hands of the most advanced group. If that
government considers that other racial groups are, sufficiently able politically to administer their own affairs and to develop their own unique personalities, capabilities and characteristics, it would be only just to arrange for them to do so. This is what the South African Government is now doing.
To effect a transfer of power from the most advanced to the least advanced racial group would be putting the clock back to barbarous times. And to enforce a policy of social and political integration on all groups would deny the right of self-develop- ment to each.
