His theme was simp le. He argued that. SO far

from preserving

White eivilisatien,

the

present Governme nt was really committing race suic ide.

" It

is a tragic

thing

to have to lit helpless,"

said Mr.

"while a grand

are preparing themselves 10

com- mit racial

suicide ."

The real

is the Nationalist Party.

to

this conclusion are simple enough to follow. There is nothing.
