MALAN EDITOR SAYS PROBABLE
NEGROES Are NOT INFERIOR

PRETORIA, S. Africa - The
assistant editor of one of the two
principal organs of Prime Minister
Daniel Malan's National party in
sists in book published last week
that it ais highly probable" that
Negroes are as good as whites and
that segregation laws in the long
run are useless and contrary to the
law of God.
G. D. Scholtz, assistant editor
of Die Transvaler, in an almost
violently nationalistic book entitled
"Has the Afrikaner Nation a Fu-
ture?" has written:
"The fact must be recognized
that the Negro sooner or later
probably sooner than later-will
be equal to the white man in civil
ization. He cannot then be denied
equal political and economic rights.
"Due to his larger numbers, it
will then be self-evident that the
Negro will take over responsibility
for the government of the country
and will be responsible for the fate
of the white population"

tized in the Nationalist press by
