25. Having made mention of apartheid it is only fitting that I should also make clear my Government’s attitude towards the principles of the philosophy that sustain that system. I need hardly say that our belief in a non-racial democracy is completely at variance with the principles of apartheid, and it is our earnest hope that one day the Government of South Africa will be moved to abandon its present policies in that respect, not so much as a result of threats and disapproval voiced by other nations as by the example which Africa herself has set. 26. The philosophy of apartheid is a philosophy of fear — the non-African’s fear of the African — and it is only by example that such fears can be proved groundless and eradicated.
