sume towards a minority Government. | For it groups have come to stay, so have minority Governments. The Present rament does not seem wholly to have grasped the position as vet, A "The Labor Government represents only a minority of the British elect- orate. In certain of its proceedings, in the present Naval Conference, for example, it can certainly speak for the whole nation, but in domestic at- fairs it must enlist Liberal dilemma perhaps, but a dilemma which must be faced. ! "No one wants to have a fresh elec- gion or to turn the Labor Government out. The Liberal attitude is certain- fly entirely benevolent. Many Liberals indeed would join the Labor Party 4f its internal constitution were other than it is. But naturally the Liberals will never consent to act as the ser- wants of Labor until thelr rights of independent judgment are ungrudg- ingly recognized. They cannot be ex- pected to accept the designation of ftraitors' merely b they opp =as on the defective Coal Bill--meas- ures about which they have never been consulted. "Minority Government implies com- promise. There is no reason we know of why the Labor and Liberal Parties should not work together quite happily for the unext two or three years. The two parties have al- most nothing to quarrel about. Statesmen and Personal Feelings "The Labor Party, we think, is quite wrong in believing that It has any- thing to lose by being friendly to the Liberals. It seems to have a sort of "inferiority complex'--a feeling, thal 5 to say, that if it ever admits any appreciation of the virtues of Liberal: gsm It will endanger its own soul-- pot to mention its electoral organiza tlon. Z "These absurdities cannot be avoid: #4, but at least the Government might realize that it has everything to gain and nothing to lose by a general rap- prochement with the Liberals, There is so much that the two parties could do together, Mr. MacDonald's per- sonal dislike of Mr, Lloyd George is the prime difficulty, but statesmen have no right to indulge their per- sonal feelingg. The two parties can wertainly work together for a long time without any serious friction If only personal feelings could be ignor- 'ed. "At all events it is necessary that the implications of a three-party sys- tem should be studied and understood. The Labor Party possesses no major- ity of its own, nor is ever (with its. present constitution) likely to do so. "The group system has come to stay, and it is important that the lead- ers of the Labor Party, from the Prime Minister downwards, should realize this fact and should adapt its organization accordingly. "Laborism needs Liberalism to help it. It cannot stand alone ,except as a spurely class party, and as a class party it can never rule England, We want a national, not a Trade Unionist Government. Liberals Cannot Be Crushed "The Liberal Party is not, nor ever will be a monentity, It represents an important seetion of the electorate, and cannot be hoped out of existence. At can be used or abused, as the Prime Minister chiooses, but it cannot be crushed. "In any case we can percelve no national advantage at all in the at- tacking of Mr. Lloyd George about * 'errors of judgment for whish he was} . responsible many years ago. letting of bygones be bygones must inevitably be the rule of any effec tive political criticism, What mat- ters is not what Mr. Lloyd George did ten or twelve years ago, but what he is going to do to-morrow. Certainly the is not going to turn the Labor Government out it he can help it." "por my own part, and I belleve that I speak the mind of the vast ma- jority of Liberals," Sir Herbert Samuel, Evening News, asserts, "I earnestly desire that differences should be avoided, and that this Parliament should live long enough to accomplish many measures of useful reform for the benefit of the people.

L n set ine The Racial Menace In South Africa Our Sister Colony Has a Big Problem Little Under- stood in Canada COMMUNIST ACTIVITY The native African is the most pa- tient of all people, but imposing white civilization on him, says Gen. Jan Christian Smuts, former Premier of South Africa, can only result in bol- shevizing him and making him a men- ace to the rest of the world. © And from another source comes word that this is actually taking place. In an address before the Natal Mis. sionary Conference, quoted in "The South Africa Outlook," Ray E. Phil- lips declares that a large number of native South Africans are becoming communistically minded, and are in- creasingly feeling that the wrongs g d 1- 8 ° t, n Government, says Mr. Phillips, who is ia missionary of the American Board, "Even worms, it would seem, are specializing in Christian social service capable of putting two and two to- The roar of an ap»roaching engine conveys nothing to them, but that faint subterranean rumbling, the brushing of soft furry sides along the tunnelled passages, the patter of horny toes, and the infinitesimal sniffs with which the 'little black gentle- man in velvet' punctuates his course, are soundd which the witless worms They know, too, the best method of avoiding the work in South African industrial centres. "They feel that the mission- ary has betrayed them, or at least stood silently by while the unserupu- lous white maf has grabbed their land and driven them to work; they see the wide discrepancies in wages paid white and black workers for the same work; they see the utter cant and hypocrisy in the liquor laws, which grant to the white man unlimited rights, and pro- hibit liquor to the natives in towns." All down the line, especially in the economic field, says this worker, the native feels that he is being unjustly discriminated against by the white in- vader. "Rebellion and revolt are not natural to the native people. They hesitate to join formelly an organiza- tion such as the Communist party. "But," the missionary warns, "the gen- eral attitude which the Communists stand for is growing and is becoming increasingly vocal." He gives us this vivid picture: CHRISTIAN FAILURE? "Attend a meeting of natives held on the Market Square, Johannesburg. Perkaps a thousand native men are present. The speaker is a young na- tive man who speaks perfect English. Through interpreters he enumerates the wrongs of his race in South Africa. He attacks the employers and the Gov- ernment, mentions the low wages and the color bar. Then he pours scorn on the missionary and the clergyman-- white and black. 'Comrades,' he cries, 'we must kick out the missionary and the clergyman, I know, because my father is a . clergyman. I know what I am talking about. What is the missionary doing for us? Nothing! He educates us and leaves us to starve! He points up to the sky and tells us, by and by, after you're dead, you'll have enough to eat and fine clothes to wear! That's rot good enough for us! We want food to eat and clothes to wear today! Am I right? "Back comes a thunderous response, 'Right you ars!" 'Then kick out the missionary and th: missionary's God. ' "Are you happy?' asks a white speaker at another meeting, says Mr. Phillips. "Have you got all the free- dom that you want?" "No," comes the lanswer. "We are not happy!" "Well, says the speaker, "if you will do what the Russian workers have done, and what the Chinese workers are doing, you will be able to secure freedom. We have got to be prepared, a | not merely with demonstrations, but also, if it proves to be necessary, with far more drastic action. Build up your organizations so that you can take possession of this country." THEY SAW BUT DID NOT. The only man in South Africa whe has taken the time and energy to look the native economic sit- h uation, with its accompanying social effects, observes "The tion- alist," is Dr. Henderson, and te states that "the situation is anxious, and there are some who fear it is passing out of our control," And so "The Con- gregationalist asks: ; \ "Shall the next few years witness the wholesale desertion of the Chris-] tian Church by the native people? Shall they be forced to join the Com- munists, or similar organizations, to find that understanding of their great human needs, that practice of brother- hood, which they have heard so much of and seen so little practical evidence of in the Christian Church? If this occurs, a suitable epitaph to be placed over the grave of the institution which called itself the Christian Church might be the despairing words of Christ--'They said, but did not!" General Smuts, to return to him, would leave the native African to his own system. In speaking in New York recently on racial problems in Africa, he maintained it is wrong to make "an inferior European" of a na- 3. » who is justly proud of being an African. As quoted in the New York "Times," General Smuts went on: "There is a grea' deal of good in the African culiure azd system. For one thing, the African is a Socialist. All land is owned in common, as are most of the cattle, and each tribe is run by a council of elders and a chief. If you try to break down this system, it is very easy to do so, but it is im- possible to substitute a European or any other system in its stead. By doing 80 you bolshevize the most dotile being on the face of the earth, the African negro, and you make him a menace to the rest of the world, 3 "Why should we standardize human- ity? That may be a fine thing in the been created in hundreds and thou- sands of years, and I have a very high respect for any system of time, as I have for all natural facts. Let there be differences in type as long as they are ethically sound. There have been misguided efforts on behalf of governments and mission- aries, although I do not in the least wish to condemn the latter, with whom I heartily sympathize, and we now have perhaps millions of Negroes who have lost their native contacts, and no longer belong to their old tribes. ; "Our system is individualism; theirs is socialism. The result of trying to Europeanize them has caused so many to be lost to their own people." Any change in the African cultural system, General Smuts warns, should be made without violence. He advises that the native laborers in the copper mines of Rhodesia, and other parts, be not allowed to take their womenfolk When we reflect o little on our own foibles, our wars, our tremendous losses of human lives, it may mot be so fine.
