Follow Christ With Your Cross!"
His text was from Matthew 1924

crosses of Construction, Disappoint-

to bear in order to fulfill His

we too must bear these same
crosses, depending on the cross Of
Love to help US with the weight

amount of business they did In
South Africa.
Mr.. Louw also attacked the
British Broadcasting Corporation
European Service, quoting the
South African ambassador in
Paris as saying the BIC was
mounting a sustained anti-South
African campaign" on this service.
Opposition Uneasy
Mr.. Louw said Of three classes
Of foreign correspondents, the
permanent resident is the best
type. We have not much to COM
plain of from them" Then there
were stringers on South African
papers who wrote for overseas
journals. They sold their coun-
try for 80 pieces Of silver"
But what most irritated Mr..
Louw were the visiting journal
lists who had literally swooped
down on the country" and who
were not in search Of genuine
news but only sensationalism. In
many cases they have been in
structed to send a certain type Of
news in accord with the political
views of their papers"
Much Of the debate conferred
around the arrest and detention
of Canadian journalist Norman
Phillips, foreign editor of the Tor
onto Star. Mr.. Louw read the
cable which officials intercepted
and seized when Mr.. Phillips tried
to file it, also carbon copies Of
earlier stories of which detectives
made photostats when they search
ed Mr.. Phillips hotel room.
All this criticism from Mr.. Louw
stirred some uneasiness among
some opposition members, among
them Progressive Party member
John Cope, a former South African
journalist and now head of the
Manchester Guardian team Of cor
respondents in South Africa
I'VE are very anxious about
press freedom in this country. We
are nervous about what may come.
What is this the prelude to? Does
the minister think any restriction
Of press freedom is going to assist
the situation ?" asked Mr.. Cope.
Seh-DiscipIine Urged
In response to suggestions from
some government members for
various curbs on correspondents,
Mr.. Louw said there may be ways
in which we may be able to right
the situation" and suggested a
self disciplinary council for South
African journalists with a similar
system for foreign resident news
men.
Visiting hit and run" journal
lists presented a different problem
said Mr.. Louw. He referred to the
deportation last year Of British
television cameraman Henry Bar
zilry and said lit may be necessary
to do that again"
