I'm presented to Henry A. By
oade, Assistant Secretary of State
N Near Eastern Affairs, and Am
'assador Henri Bonnet of France,
Y three leaders of the committee
70 recently returned from $500
mile survey of North Africa.
They are Irving M. Engel of New
'ork, committee president, Jacob
'iaustcin, of Baltimore, honorary
president. and DR.. John Slawson of
New York, executive vice prcsi-
dent.
IN their report, they made sew
cral recommendations to protect
to civil, religious and economic
RIGHTS of Tunisian and Moroccan
mirorit;ns. which include 100000
Jews. Some 100000 Jews in Mo
rocco alcnc, they reported were still
cluSscd as "dhimmis," or wards Of
tho Sultan, with no rights as citi-
ZcnS.
A Moroccan so classed they said,
has no right to vote, to get pass
ports, or even be recognized as a
sworn witness in Moroccan court.
The position of the $4,000 Tuni-
san Jews is mot as precarious, "
they said, but they urged that
France serve as co-guarantor with
the protectionates of any human
rights conventions that were
reached.

in South Africa, has now been
placed in the saddle"
Other British newspapers, SPAN
ming the political spectrum, were
equally outspoken in their criti-
cisims. Hope had persisted here
that the more moderate Nicholas
c. Havenga would succeed DR..
/ Malan, at least temporarily.
Mr.. Havenga had been the nomi-
! nee of DR.. Malan himself. The rec
/ ords of both men indicate they are
far more moderate than Mr.. STRIP
dom.

you can say good-by to South

To the British, Mr.. Striidom cpl
tomizeS the tireleSS struggle of the
Afrikaaners since their defeat in
the Boer War to throw off what
they regard as outside ShackleS and
deal with black Africans on the
basis of enforced segregation and
domination.
The Times, of London, usually
soft-spoken, whose editorials are
considered to have government
sanction, warns Britons that the
new Prime Minister will cause diff
ficulty with the United Kingdom.
"His advent to power will bring
to the front in their acute form all
those doctrines of the extreme Ma
tionalist which set them most at
adds with the other members of
the Commonwealth, and particular
ly with the United Kingdom" it
charged.
If he pursued the uncompromis-
ing policies for which he has stood,
"sever clashes within the Common
wealth can scarcely be avoided"
The Times declares.
Mr.. Strijdom is expected to en-
force the policy of white supre-
macy and to attack constitutional
provisions that safeguard the
rights of Negro and Colored (mixed
race citizens.
In particular, says The Times,
he will attempt to disenfranchise
Colored voters, move long pre-
vented by resistance from the Su-
/ preme Court.
The newspaper, nevertheless,
concluded with conciliatory note
pointing out that lin Westminster,
where he is invited next month to
meet his colleagues of the Com
/ monwealth, he is simply one of the
Queens Prime Ministers, entitled
now, and always, to full and
i courteous hearing"
Unofficial feeling here, mean
while. is that Mr.. Strijdom will be
more relentless than DR.. Malan

The latter. despite his advocacy of
white mastery, seemed careful to
keen under control South African
demands for republic-one which,
in the British view, would have
definite authoritarian leanings. M
The new leader, however, is cx-
pected to emphatic the very points
DR.. Halan played down. His fol-
lowers in the northern part of the
Union repeatedly already are hail
ing early arrival of an independent,
unaffiliated South African republic
Broad Enough?
In 1912, Mr.. Strijdom and his
followers drafted constitution
considered mildly authoritarian and
providing political freedoms only to
a list of burghers, as was done in
the old Transvaal republic Fear
of similar drive, therefore, APP
pears justified in the opinion of
kcenlV Interested BRUSH observers.
As the Conservative Daily Tele-
graph points out:
"A republic is necessary, Mr.
Strijdom has declared, because UNI
til it is achieved a majority of the
English-speaking people will con-
tinue to regard England as their
home.
THE Commonwealth has shown
itself broad enough to embrace a
republic, but could it contain one
set up in the spirit which Mr.. Strij-

Strijdom, to power as Prime Min
lister according to an article last
week by Henry S. Hayward, chief
Of the London Bureau of the Chris

He is regarded here as a man
determined to make South Africa
full fledged republic-and perhaps
quickly take it out of the British
Commonwealth of Nations.
He also is regarded as a man de-
termined to insure white supremacy
in South Africa at the expense of
100000 blacks there and to
provide that Dutch-descended AZ
rikaaner whites are not dominated
in any way by British South
Africans.
