The extreme racialist policy of Dr. Malan and his Government seeks to destroy the liberties of all South Africans who stand in the way of a totalitarian republic. Let us make no mistake about that. Today the attack is primarily directed against the non-white people of the country. Tomorrow the Jewish people, the English-speaking people and the democratic Afrikaners will be the targets of this very same policy. My warning to the English-speaking South Africans is that if they want to save themselves from the horrors of a totalitarian regime then they must discard their racialism.
Democracy is indivisible.
Every time the Government takes away an existing right of the non-white people, the attack on the Europeans opposed to the Nationalist policy is brought a step nearer. If they refuse to discard their colour prejudices then they will fail to save themselves from the fate which ultimately befell even the democratic Nordic German people under the Hitler regime. If the English-speaking people of Natal support the Group Areas Act and the policy of expatriating the Indian people then they are unconsciously bringing their own doom nearer. I have not the slightest doubt that they will most strenuously oppose the policy of apartheid. They will count no sacrifice too great in their opposition to expatriation.
