Political Strength Is Great

Mr.. Verwoerds government has
an unassailable majority in the
white central parliament. Unless
events take an unlikely turn, he
can look forward to many years
more in power during which he
can continue the White National
Party program Of segregating the
races.
The 81 year old Mr.. YER
woerd became the White Afri-
kaner Nationalists' leader in 1858
when he assumed the premiership.
Even before then, as Minister Of
Native Affairs, he was laying the

How did Canada avoid these
