and has only one solution for the native question and that is to drive all the natives from the industrial areas. This is a demand connected with the cry of the Boer farmers that they have work for the natives on the land while thousands of poor whites are flocking into the towns. From this it is quite clear that this paper is advocating the wholesale enslavement of the native population on the farms of the landowners. Anti-native bills have occupied a foremost place in the work of the South African parties during the last twenty years and became more pronounced during the last ten years. Hertzog brought this question very much to the fore-front in order to fool the poor whites, in telling them that the natives are the cause of all their troubles and that their salvation lies not in fighting the government but it is their task to defend their fatherland against the savages. Such was the demagogy carried on by Hertzog to cover up his real aims.

But all this did not help. South Africa was not excluded from the effects of the world crisis. In order to find a way out of the crisis, Hertzog was forced to come to an agreement with Smuts the arch-enemy of the native people, representative of British

finance capital, to form a coalition Government. This attempt to find a way out of the crisis is at the expense of the Native toiling masses, and the white working class, by reducing the wages of the native toilers to a starvation level, and reducing the wages of the white workers to that of mere existence. Time and again the workingclass, have been fooled by false promises made by these various political parties who look upon the toiling masses as nothing more than a source for exploitation. The white working class of S. Africa must realize that by fighting against the natives and by looking upon them as the enemy of the white workers, their problems can never be solved.

The same applies to the labouring masses of the native population. Only by a united struggle of both native and white workers against the united front of the Industrial capitalists and landlords, can the workers free themselves from the parasitic rule of British and Boer Imperialism.

The present political situation in S. Africa is of grave concern to the labouring masses of the Native population and to the white working class. Since the event of coalition a year ago, there has been an intensification of the policy of the industrialists and landlords to grab the land which is still occupied by the natives in order to make them work for the starvations wages which they are offered by these exploiters, and thereby completely subject the whole native population to slavery and degradation. A year ago the coalition government came into power by false promises to the Native and white working class, preaching that coalition is the only way by which they can better their position. The agreement between the leaders of the two main political parties in S. Africa is not accidental. They have for years tried to come to an agreement on the Native question because the land belongs to the natives and the problem is how can they make the millions of Natives completely landless and use them as a labour reserve for the mine owners and landlords. The struggle between the two sections of exploiters, the industrialists and the landlords as to who should have more right to exploit the natives, has been, clearly brought to  light by the recent events in S. Africa.

The question of including Basutoland, Bechuanaland and Swaziland into the Union of S. Africa is another step taken by the S. African capitalists in the direction of finding new fields for exploitation. The raid on Bechuanaland by the British naval force was not an empty move. It is quite clear that the purpos of this move was to subdue the people of Bechuanaland,
