hurledaccusations of "racial- ism" at the convenors when they were asked to leave.

Then why does"Contact"

continually promote these views in its columns? The answer is that "Conta ct" is prepa red to do anything to embarrassthe ex-member sof the bannedANC and frustra te theirpoliciesbecause it hasfor years dubbedtheANC "Com- munist" and condemned the multi-racialCongressalliance asan instrument ofMoscow.

Encouraging

Today, when unity ofall sections of the oppressed is imperative if apartheidis tobe smashed,it hasbeenencour- aging to note that African leaders of widely differing outlook have atlast got to- gether as joint sponsors of the Maritzburgconference.

But "Contact," apparently indifferent to the success or failure of the Maritzburg conference,continues to oush the views ofBlack chauvinists, even thoughthey conflictwith its own basicpolicyand that oftheLiberalParty.

We saythese are the tactics ofwreckers. "Contact's" aim isnot to build annitedfront ofall anti-Na tionalists, but to smash the Conaress united front which has been so pain- fulJv built after years of hard politicalstruggle.

The cold-blooded murder ofLumumba, aswellasthe criticalstage which hasbeen rea chedin our owncountry, makeit impossiblefor usto remainsilentaboutthese tac- ticsanylonger.

A Cha llenge

• We challenge"Contact"

tocomeout into theonenand say whether itwants the Ma- ritzburg conference to succeed or fail.

• Wechallenze"Contact"

to say whether it stands for Black cha uvinism or co- operationbetween all racesin South Africa on a basisof equality.

• Wechallenge "Contact"

tosaywhether it would rather co-opera te withthe Nationalist Government in working the Suppression of Communism Act, than co-opera te with the Congress movementinoppos- ing the National ist Govern- ment and smashing apartheid bya united effortof all anti- Nationalists.

• Finally, we challeo2e theLiberal Party once again tosaywhetherit agrees with theline of "Contact," and if not, why it does not repudiate a paper whichby its reckless anti-Comm unismis doing so much harm to the freedom struggle in South Africa,

Harmful

Theneteffectofthis is that

"Contact"has gotitself out of step with thewhole liberation movementin Africa andlined itself up withtheimperialists.

And itwillmakethissort of blunder again and again throughits anti-Communism.

Negative policies based on sterile and misguided anti- Communism can never have positive results.Such policies

·

have produced cold-blooded murder and chaos in the Congo, and have grievously harmed the freedom struggle of the Congolesepeople.Such policies are proving equally harmful inthe Union.

In the issue of "Contact"

dated February 11, there appears an article headed :

"African Leaders' Conference -Some May NotBe There."

The articledisplaysprominent- ly the views of aformerlead- ing member of the banned Pan-African ist Congress, Mr.

Z. B. Molete, on the forth- coming AfricanLeaders'Con- ference to beheld in Maritz- burg on March25and26.

Mr. Molete said African

"Nationalists"in SouthAfrica would orobab ly not SUODort the conference because "they would not be a partyto a multi-racial convention, such as formsthe basis ofdiscus- sion at the coming confer- ence."

Nowhere in"C ontact" have we so far foundany attempt to support the aims of'the Maritzburg conference,and to help make it what willprob- ably prove to be the most representative co nference of African leadersiIIour politi-

cal 'history. We can only

assume "Contact"givespromi- nence toMr.Molete'sviews because itis insympathywith them.

Multi-Racialism

but because they were anti- Lumumba,and "Contact"be- lieved Lumumbahad "tried to sell his country to the Rus- sians."

Yet "Contact,"whichosten- sibly standsfornon-racialism, cannot possiblysupport Mr.

Molete in his opposition to taking part in amulti-racial conferencepurelybecauseitis multi-racial. After all, the editorof "Conta ct,"Mr.Dun- can himself, attended the multi -racial conference con- vened by the Interdenomina- tional African Ministers' Federationin Johannesburgin December 1957.And itis only two monthssincethe assistant editor of "Contact," aEuro- pean, and aprominent Col- oured member ofthe Liberal Party triedto gate-crashthe first AfricanLeaders' Confer- ence in Johannesburg and

IN dat~~ ~~:m~~r~~~

~g;,

we published an editorial attacking the policy of Mr.

Duncan, theeditor of "Con- tact,"inrelation to events in the Congo.

One ortwoof our readers thoughtwe had been a little unkind to Mr.Duncan. Subse- quent events, however,have shown that our criticism of

"Contact's" line on the Congo was completely justified.

"Contact" had said in a leadingarticle on December3:

"The latestnewsfrom the Congo isgood.Colonel Mobu- tu is quietlybuilding up a real Congolese army. In alliance with himPresident Kasavubu has obtained a seat at the United Nations. Technicians, many ofthem Belgians, are trickling back to the country to helpre-start essential ser- vices. Slowly,in place of the chaoscausedby Belgian apart- heid, a modem free state is arising. When its power is great enough, and the signs are that that dayisnownear,it will deal withtheman who triedtosellhiscountry to the Russians- PatriceLumumba"

(Our italics.)

The editorial,which in the light ofwhat happened can only be regardedas an incite- ment, ended : "It looks as thoughthe Congois on its way to normality.'Con tact' congra- tulates its leaders,and hopes for a speedy endto the crisis."

False Picture

Itis plainto all today how false is the picture of the Congo that was painted by

"Contact." The policies sup- ported by"Contact" have led to civil war , thefragmentation of the Congoand the cold- blooded murderof Lumumba under circumsta nces which have shockedthe whole world.

Even "Contac t"was forced in its last issueto condemn the murder of Lumumba and to refrain thistimefrom offering its congratulati ons to the Kasavubu -Mobutu - Tshombe clique whohave been exposed so clearlyas the unscruoulous

'hirelingsof the imperialists.

But "Contact" cannotsoeasily escapetbe jud~ent of the masses,who willneverforget that it was "Contact"almost alone of all South African newspaperswhichwentsofar as tocall Lmnombaatraitor.

Werevert to this subject again this week because itis necessary to stress that "Con- tact's" wrong line on the Congo wasnot an accident, but is due to the fact that

"Contact" bases its policies nrimarilyonanti-Communism.

"Contact" backed the Kasavu- bu-Mobutu set-up, not because it endorsedtheir basic policies,

ARMYCOLLECTSTAXFS The army and the policearrest indiscriminately..ll males andthose they find without referencebooks are often forced to payadmission ofguilton the spotto the policeor thechief's horneguards.In addition

to these a person is fined in the courts 10/-to £1 for every year that hefails to pay his taxes, and on top ofallhestill has to paythe taxitself.

As manymen are in thereserves becausethey arenot allowed togo to industrialcentresto seek work under theinflux control regulations theyjust havenot got any money to pay taxes,and therefore serve theperiodsinjail.But eventhis does not relievethem from the obligationto pay thetaxes. As soon as they have served their jail sen- tences theybecome liableagain.

Complaints Flood in of Army and Police Terror

From Govan Mbeki PORT ELIZABETH .

LAST WEEK WAS MARKED

BY THE MASS ARREST OF MEN IN WIDELY SEPARATED PARTS OFTHE TRANSKEI.

Thousandsofmen and boys were caught in thearmy and police dragnet in Ken tane, WiI- lowval e, Cala, Engcobo and Lady Frere, while similar arrests

All modern comforts arepro- vided for thecrew, which in- cludes six women.

"What is striking about the crew,"noted the reporterwith open mouth, as if hewere dealingwithmen fromMars,

"is thatsomany of them are light-complexioned and that they can speak German rea- sonably well.Their English is very weak."

NON-WHITE REACTION Butthe reporter's suspicions remained unallayed.Through- out the stay ofthe shipin har- bour, he wrote, there were al- waysa number of Ovambos arounditand they wouldre- gularlypose forpictureswith the Russians.

Perhaps the local Whites weren't the only ones who were suspicious.WhiletheSo- vietshipswerethere, aSouth African frigateand a British cruiseralso steamed intothe port.

Justin case?

"The "Suidwester" report concluded: "Accordingto re- sidentsof thelocation,they were expecting ,trouble and father sand motherstookturns watching over their children duringthe nightso thatthey could fleequickly incaseany trouble aro~e. All are now sleepingsafelyagain."

One wonders whether the Nats are too.

nothingcouldbe done about it. WalvisBaywas an interna- tional harbourand the Soviet shipshadevery right to use it.

Noroould they be prevro ted from fishing outsidethe three- mile limit.

"Die Suidwester" hopefully suggestedthatthe limit should be extendedto60miles, but in the nextbreath admitted that unless the authorities were capable of defending their waters,it wasa waste of time taking sucha step.

SURPRISE Then the Russians launched asurpriseattack-they visited a local school!

While the headmaster was busy withaclass,the children suddenlybecamerestless and before the teacher knew what was happening, 8 Russians were insideaskin~ina mixture of Englishand German whe- ther they could be shown round.

The headmaster obliged, and the Russians departed "very satisfied with !their lightning visit."

"Die Suidw~ter" counter- attacked bysendingareporter to thefactoryship, He was shownroundwith equal cour- tesy, andwas veryimpressed with the set-up.Theship has facilitiesforcanning and deep- freezing fish whicharesuperior tothose ofthe local factories.

South Africa nWomen. To show the accused's knowledge of the struggleinSouthAfrica, theCrown referredtoher statement"thatso- cialworkinitselfisnothingmore thanapalliative for the ills that beset somanyllCople.Itwasthen thatIbeganto turn my attention to thecausesofthese ills, and thatI became convinced thatI could no longer be satisfied merely with social work, but thatI must play an activepar t in thepolitical life ofSouth Africa,"

Mr.Terbl anchesaid that Mrs.

Joseph attacked the pass laws, Bantu Education and said that the stru ggleherewas par tof the strug- gle the world over.She supported the FreedomCharter.

Mrs. Joseph agreed with the speech mad e by Kathrada that

"volunteerswere to bean armyof liberationandshock brigad e."She attended certain meetings and agreed with wha twassaidatthese

meetings. .

Mr. Justice Kennedy: How did she agree, by her silence?

Mr. Terblanche: Yes, MvLord, byhersilence.

Discussing Mrs. Joseph'sknow- ledgeof theorganisationsandwhat was saidatthese meetings Mr. Jus- tice Kenn edy wanted to know whethe rit was because of Mrs.

Joseph's connection with these or- ganisat ions that the Crown submit- ted that sheknew?

Mr.TerblaneherYes.

Mr.Justice Kennedy: Isthat not takingit too far?

Mr.Terblancher She never said she disagreed with what wassaidat these meetings and she attended them.

The Crown submitted that the evidence ofthe accusedshowed that she wasaware of and fully sup- ported the attitude of the Con- gresses, ofwhich she was amem- ber.Sheaccepted theview of the South African PeaceCouncil on theliberato rymovementinSouth Afri caas well as th e liberatory strug gles inAfrica and elsewhere in the worl d. Shesuppor tedthe policy ofthe organisation of which she was amember in regardtothe presentstateandthe needtobring abouta cha nge.

The Crownfurthersubmitt ed that Mrs. Joseph accepted the view that the liberat ory strugg lehad to be waged by massactioninvolving un- constitutionalandillegalaction. She support ed the campaigns against passes, Bantu Education and the campaig n forthe Congress of the People.

On the question of conspiracy, the Crown submittedthat overt acts of conspiracy had been pro ved against the accused. Mrs.Joseph had a hostile intent, th e Crown argued.

Helen Joseph Not Communist Shock B rigade

Mr.J.de VOS Q.C. came back to argue on Mrs. Joseph's knowledge of theCommunistdoctrineof vio- lence. He said:"The Crown does notallege that Mrs.Josephwasa Communist in the sensethat she understo od the Communist doctrine of violent revolution in part icula r.

Onthe question of thepolicyof the organisa tions dealt with by her in evidence,the South African Peace Council,Sout hAfrican Congress of Demo crats andthe Federationof SouthAfrican Women, the follow- ing points should be noted: that sheconcededthat the SouthAfri- canPea ceCouncilrega rded Russia as acount ry genuinely working for peace;shealso concededthat she didnot regardthe Westernpowers, America and Britain as countries striving for peace; she conceded that sheknewof no countryoutside the Communist bloc officially described as People'sDemocracies and thatCommunist countriesdid describe themselves as People's Democratic Govern ments."

Conspiracy

in Hungary forthree years.He also had aCommunistlibrar ycontaining Communistclassics. Hewas a mem-

ber of the fo rmer Communist

Party. His spee ch esindicated his knowledge ofCom munism.

The Crownalsosubmitt ed that it had proved beyond reasonable doubt that theaccused was in the conspiracy .Kathrada expressed the view thatin theliberatorystruggle they hadtolearnalessonfromthe liberatory movements in other countries andin all these move- ments their enemies resorted to methods rangingfromfights to bru- tality in anattemptto crush the liberatory movements.

Kathrada condemned the South AfricanGovern men t and was in the struggle fora"newSouthAfrica,"

Heexpressedtheviewthatthe pre- sent Governmentwasgiving its last kick and that thelifeofthe Gov- ernment was sh ort; thatwhite su- premacy was buried in the battle- fields of Vietna mand Korea. He alsostated thattheywanted to put an end to the system in South Africa where on e section of the population washappyat the cost of the others. He expressedthe view that White domination was coming to an end.

The Crown further submitted that Kathr adasupport edthe cam- paignsofthe ANC,Removal of the Western Areas, Bantu Education and Defian ce Campa ign.He ex- pressed faith in the masses and mass stru ggle and ridiculed solu- tions found round a conference table. His attit ude towards the USSR wasconsistently favourable and protective against capitalist on- slaughts.Referringtothespeeches of the accusedMr.J.deVos Q.C.

doubt that the accused was a party to the conspi ra cy.The Crown also submittedtha t the accused had a hostile intentand hisadherence to the conspiracyshould be inferred from his activities.

The Crownsubmitted that the accusedwas an executive member of the TransvaalIndianYouthCon- gress andamemberof the Trans- vaalIndian Congress and took a leading part in its activities. He worked fulltimeat times, in the officesofthe TIC. On his know- ledge of the vioJent doctrine of Communism the Crown said that he was a prof essedCommunist.On November23, 1954, he expressed the view that itwas a great and honourablething10belong to the Communist Party, although Com- munism was banned in South Africa. He held the view that the marchof theworking and common people of the world to a bette r world could not be stoppedby bans and suppressions.The Crown also submittedthat the accused wrote a letter to afriend congratulatingthe friend for havingjoined the Com- munistPart yand ending the letter with the saluta tio n "Forward to world Communism."

The Crownfurther made the sub- mission that Adam; express ed praise for theCommunist Party and supported world Communistrevo- lutionary movementswhile he must have known from the excellent library inhis possession whatCom- munism meant,includingthedoc- trine of violence.

Mr.Trengovesubmittedthatin so faras meetingsare concern ed,all meetingswhichheattended would be held against him.Hesaid the Crownhad provedontheevidence before the Courtthatthe accused had a hostileintentand was aparty to the conspiracy.

. . . CR ANOTBE

Mr.J. J.Trengove Q.C.argued the personal position of accused SimonMkalipi,oneof the accused who gaveevidence for the defence.

He said that in giving evidence Mkalipiwanted to give the impres- sionthat he was stupid and igno- rant.Hesaid that this was not a genuine excuse on the part of the accused. Mkalipi didthis becauseif hehad said he knew the policy of Congress he would not be able to answerthe questions.He was too modestwhen he said in his evidence thathedid not know what was happeningin Congress.

Dealingwith Mkalipi's activities in theANCMr. Trengove said that in1953,when meetings and proces- sionswerebanned in Port Elizabeth , Mkalipiled a procession of20,000 people from Korsten to New Brigh- ton.Asa volunteer,Mr.Trengove said,Mka lipi agreed that he had to obeyinstructions whetherlegalor illegal andregardless of the conse- quences.

Control, which is madeup of na- tional units of Africans, Indians, Malays andColoureds,decided to do away withracial tags. But this hasnot heencarried out and it looks asif itwill still be a long timebefore itis, judgingfrom the meetingof the Boardheld in Jo- hannesburg lastweek.

Three yearsago theBoard de- cided thatinstead ofbeing madeup of racialnational units. they should haveprovincial federationscornpris- inc all races as units ofthe Board.

As aresultthe biennial tournament where national racial units took part was scrapped.

OBJECTI ON At the meetinginJohannesburg lastweekthe Africandelegate.Mr.

H.M.Butshingi, whois also presi- dent of the S.A. BantuBoard, ob- jected to thescrapping of racial tagsin cricket.

Hisobjectionwas that there were areas like theTranskeiwhere Afri- cans were predominant and he could not see howanon-racial association couldbe formed there.

Severaldelegatestold Mr.But- shingi that this was no problem.

Suchacentrewould be admittedto theSouthAfrican Cricket Board of Control aslong as it provedthat it wasnon-racial.

Mr. Butshingithen asked that he be allowed toconsult his Board abou tthematter.Another meeting willbe heldduring the Easter holi- dayswhere theway will be paved for non-racial provincial federa- tions to takeover from thepresent racialunits.

MAYMEETING The new non-racial provincial units will meet in Cape Town in
