In south Africa.

In south Africa.
LONDON, Nov. 9.-The Daily News
today exhaustively surveys the concen-
tration camps in South Africa with the
following conclusion:
"The truth is that the death rate in
the camps is incomparably worse than
anything Africa or Asia can show.
There is nothing to match it even in the
mortality figures of the Indian famlnes.
where cholera and other epidemics have
TO be contended with.
Statistics are produced in proof of
this assertion.
The governments advertisement for
teachers for the camps children, setting
forth that ''the term of employment
will be one year certain, "is prominently
displayed as evidence that the authori-
ties have no intention of ending the
wholesale destruction of human life. !"
The Daily News urges all humane men
not to wait for officers reports, but to
insist ION the camps being broken up
and the people distributed among their
friends" "
