Now, however. there is no legislation
on the subject and the English authorl-
ties are hestatlng 10 enact laws until
all the parties concerned can voice their
opinions, The hestancy to deal sum-
marily with the natives is causing both
Beers and Afikanders intense iFflta-
ton and encourages the blacks to tru-
culent effrontery.
Another phase OF the problem is the
unwilllngness Of the blacks to forego
their lazy existence in the concentra-
ton camps where thousands were gath
cred during the war and far more SER
ious Is the fact that a great number or
blacks In the country have managed to
secure arms, There Is, therefore, the
anomalous situation OF unarmed whites
and armed blacks living in proximity
on outlying farms. Experienced British
colonials strongly favor universal dis
armament of the natives and prompt
legislation, making assaults on -women
capital offense."
