Study To Be Made
Of African Race
Relations

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Nov.
3O.-The Special Political and Sc
curity Committee of the United
Nations General Assembly Friday
began consideration of report
made by a commission set up by
the General Assembly last year to
study race relations in Africa.
The commission reported that as
result of the policy of apartheid
(racial segregation), fourfifths of
the population are reduced to a
"humiiating level" Of-inferiority.
DR.. Herman Santa Cruz, for
mer delegate from Chile who
headed the commission said the
key to the problem of racial dis
elimination, which might cause "a
violent explosion" among the non
whites in South Africa, lay in solv-
ing economic conditions out of
which he felt the policy of apar-
theid had arisen.
The government of South Africa
insists that the matter is one of
domestic jurisdiction and has re-
fused to recognize the special COM
mission. G. p. Jooste, chief South
African delegate, told the commit
tee that his government regarded
the commission as demonstration
al' and that his presence at the
meeting should not be construed
