Now however, there Is no legislation
on the subject and the English authorl-
ties are hesitating TO enact laws until
all the parties concerned can voice their
opinions. The hesitancy TO deal sum-
marlly with the natives is causing both
Beers and Afrikanders intense ifrita-
ton ana encourages the blacks TO tru-
culent effrontery.
Another phase of the problem Is the
unwillngness OF the blacks to foTego
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 great number OF
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
a capital offense."
