lie PURDAH SYSTEM

United Nations mission limited automatically to
Pakstan recently that its women should be unveiled
labor report six months in the making notes that there
is nothing in the Moslem religion requiring to live
in Purdah.
Whether Pakistan unveils its women by law, such
was done in Turkey, by slower process the u N
ports much told Pakstan that in that
try will never be able to take their part in normal
munity life under the Purdah system
It noted that reaction to this system had already
freed many women in the upperncome brackets from the
custom of remaining veied and that in the owerncome
brackets often forced to work to help sup
port the family and thus freed from the custom But
it noted, majority of midde-cass women in Pakistan
still kept in strict Purdah with little opportunity
meet and contact people outside their homes
The archaic unfairness of such system is hard for
American citizens to imagine and United Nations study
groups succeed in pointing out backward conditions
such this to member nations of the u NJ then the
ganizaton will be making credable progress Another
hint to Paksan made by the United Nations Information
Labor ORGANIZATION which studied labor conditions in
Pakstan for the sxonh period noted above concerned
compulsory primary education It is now the custom in
that country to send only boys to school, when facilities
available where parents afford it. Few
therefore qualified for top jobs The u N urges
Pakistan to pass compulsory education law just most
of the worlds advanced countries have long ago done
In this sort Of thing the U. N. is doing good job.

man can remember Harvie Ward,
one Of the nations top amateur
golfers, from North Carolina in
D1041.
Ward, although he was still in
high school at that time, was al
ready winning tournaments.
One day he commented to Art
man after he had picked up an
other piece of handsome but use-
less hardware, that he wished
they'd give him something that he
could give to his mother - maybe
a toaster or something"
But he went on winning trophies.
Ward is still an amateur, but

critic of apartheid who is well
known for his welfare work a.
mong African families in the
shantytowns of johannesburg, has
sharply criticized DR.. Malan's
statement.
1T is a dangerous theological
speculation to assume that, be-
cause white men and women set
tied on the continent of Africa
800 years ago, their descendants
have been chosen by God to
maintain white supremacy for
ever" declared DIR. Huddleston.
The effect of apartheid over
the last six years (since the Ma
Ian government came into power
has been to introduce successfully
more repressive legislation so that
today practically every nonwhite
leader is silenced. Acts such as
the Suppression of Communism
Act, the Bantu Authorities Act,
the Criminal Law Amendment Act
and the Public Safety Act and
many others make it impossible
for any nonwhite leader, what
ever his political convictions, to
speak in protest for his people.
with regard TO schools for
Africans, DIR. Malan does not point
out that it was not his govern
ment or. indeed. previous govern
ments that provided so many of
the schools, but that II was the
missionary societies. 1t was his
government which passed the
Bantu Education Act designed to
wrest control of these schools
from the founders. DIR. Malan
says: ITO the Europeans, millions
of semi-barbarous blacks look for
guidance, justice. and the Chris
ton way of life.' agree. But they
do not find any of these things in
the conduct Of their apartheid-
conscious oyerlords."
Under the governments plan to
take over African education, the
African himself, through increas-
ed taxes, will have to pay for i'm
plementing the apartheid theology,
for it has been made clear by lead
ers of the state that children In
African schools will be taught
that it is their duty to serve the
white man.
The thing which strikes many
South African parliamentarians
as odd is DR.. Malan's boasting to
an overseas audience about so
many circumstances which his
own ministers and his own Ma
tionalist Party are trying to break
down or reverse.
He says that total territorial
apartheid is not practical in the
foreseeable future. He does not
add that his own church-he is a
clergyman of the Dutch Reformed
Church has said that unless
apartheid is made total It remains
unjust. He declares that most of
South Africa's industrial legisla-
ton" makes no distinction on
grounds Of color-but he does not

Michigan, the South African
Prime Minister declared that a.
partheid is based on what the At
rikaner-Dutch-Boer- believes to
to his divine calling and his priw-
lege - to convert the heather to
Christianity without celebrating
his nationa, identity. 1t is also DR..
Malan asserts, Essentially a posi-
tive and nonrepressive policy as
applied in our enlightened day"
DIR. Malan claims that apartheid
in the Union is a tremendous ex-
pertinent not an experiment
fraught with the bloodshed of an
utilization nor that colored by as
similation, but inspired by a be-
lief in logical differentiation
coupled with acceptance of basic
human rights and responsible
ties"
The Anglican Bishop of johann
nesburg, DR.. Ambrose Reeves, in
commenting on the statement,
said that the Prime Minister had
failed to relate all the facts in con-
nection with his racial segregation
policy.
Bishop Reeves stated he has
written to the American minister
in the hope that the Rev. Mr.,
Piersma will understand better
why some of us have serious mis-
givings over the present applica-
ton of apartheid policy"
He wrote that when DR.. Malan
detailed in his letter what the
government is trying to do to inn
prove the lot of the Bantu native
people, he "in no instance related
the facts to the whole situation
facing the Union of South Africa
This is the more regrettable
because it will make ii harder for
you to appreciate the size and
difficulty of our problems-prob-
lens that some of us believe are
being aggravated by the attempt
now being made, no doubt quite
sincerely, to apply the policy OF
apartheid to a country which is in
the throes of a vast industrial rev.
olution, a country which needs to
employ our great resources of la
Dor far more effectively in In
dustry than is possible while the
great majority of urban nonwhites
are living near the poverty line
badly housed and without hope OF
any appreciate increase in their
rights as human beings" the bis
hop added
Government opponents of DR.,
Malan, taking a practical view OF
apartheid have said: "Our ma
tional economy is based on the
existence of a vast non-white Ia
Dor pool. II we have the courage
to admit that fact we may not
receive a great deal Of sympathy
from certain other parts of the
world, but at least we shall keep
ourselves free Of the charge of in
vesting a purely material consid-
