B kWiteher, Labour MP for Ha stead, has also asked Mr Callaghan to re-open inquiries into mysterioua raids on the office of the AAM in Charlotte Street, the London headquarters of the Ziteabwe African Peoples'Union(ZAlU) and Amsty Interational. Mr Whiatker sald this week: "The police investigation of thefts from these offices two years ago was quite cursory. No arrests were ever made. I believe Mr Callaghan should putanewofftier in charge of these inquiries". The private detective firm whic has admitted I ry into the AAMis Christopher Robert and Co.. Manor Road, Wallington tn Surrey. The boe of the firm, Ian Withers, an ex-policeman, told the Sunday Times, which first revealed the inquiries, that his inquiry was handled by his political departmeha. But he refused to reveal the name of his client. He denied that it was the South African Government. In notes which the Sunday Times obtained, it was stated that purple hparts and pornographic pictures were to be planted on United Nations delegates to the UN Specinl Committee on Apartheid which held sessions in London in June.

John F-lth., amvtsy: THE BOURNEMOUTH District Branch of the Ani-Apartheid Movement was founded In November 1966. to counter the activities of the Anglo-Rhedealan Society in East DorsetWeet Hants. The fi rtsecretaryofthefBranch Wa Brian Blancharde, a Rhodesian from Bulawayo, and his wife, Ray, from Cape Town, was treasurer of the interim committee. At first, activity was confined to a letter campaign in the local press, and to aneatensive speaking tour, coverilg the DorchesterCheddar-Portsmouth ares. These led to a steady Inflow of members ad to the undertaking of debates with the local Smith lobby (the anti-Smith line has won on eachoccasinl) and the mounting of public meetings, the main one fe.triag Nicholas Chitalga and Leo a in May lsBtt ear. Pickeis, marches, letter-campaigns, filmshoes., information evenings for lndal r a. sations, briefing sessions for members and countr-demonstrations have formed the staple diet of the branch, the aim being to educate public opinion and to keep the Southera African issues slive. This year, Human Rights Year, has given Us the opportunity of extending ourinfluence, partially through our official representation en the local HRY committee and partially beaus many of our members are active In HRY in other capacities. Notable has been the contrbutton made by Mrs Lilian Bader, whose lectures to clergy and to schools on Race Relations in the UK have been one of Scotland THESCOTTISH Councilfor African Questions. Edinburgh Branch, last month condemnedthe British Government for 'offering to the racist and repressive rebels ofthe Rhodesian Front, independence on conditions faling short of No Independence Before Majority Rle". Their reanlution also regretted Mr Thomeon's willingess to visit lhdesia, to 'treat with men who have no intention of renouncing white supremacy". Theresolation asks the Government to disengage from close association with South Africa, and to put Increasig pressure on the Portuguese Government at this time of change.

With Winchester AAM and other organisations we quashed a pro-Smith jamboree in Salisbury, Wilts and later we supported Southampton AAM at their public meeting which featured Judy Todd and our then secretary. Other projects now under way incaide a apesher panel of four, all with personal experience of the problems and countries concerned - South Africa and the ex-High Commission states, Central Africa, East Africa ad UK Race Relations. This bids fair to be a most constructive aspect of our work. Fund-raising for medical aid to the guerillas in Southern Africa is nier consideration and has been submitted to the National AAM for their reactin, as has the idea of a Christines Against Apartheldaction group. During the past year Southern African members have produced a leaflet, "Rhodesia - A Fact Sheet". A detailed survey of Rhodesia under the Front is almost complete and the draft has been submitted to AAM HQ with a vime to publication. Coming up for discassion over the next year will be the possibility of a National Congress of the AAMK the practicability of a travelling exhibition on apartheid and the resurrection of the Southern Regional AAM Conference.

Stepresentatives of every facet of Fenner's life and work -io the HouseofCommn s, the peace movement, the ILP, his Slough constituency, for race relations, for theoppressed peoples of Asia, Africa and the world all voiced affection for his warm personality, admiration for his total involvement in the causes of freedom, human dignity and peace, and respect for his deep sincerlty ofpupose. This was the conclusion, too, of the stage tribnte, 'Fenner", presenting highlights of his life Scripted by Ray Fletcher, MP, Itwas narrated by six wellknown actors anxiousto honnr his unflagging struggle for causes they, too, believed in. Chief among these, an old comrade, Sybil Thorodike, herself 86 the week before and still in beautiful voice, whose 93-year-old husband, Lewis Casson, had also insisted on coming. Ray Fletcher managed to compress into 45 minutes a mont vivid and moving fmpression of courage, kindliness, unswervingpriadile and never-falling energy which, in ANTt-APAlt tHEID'S ascend meeting rolled round again last month, attended by some 200 members at the National Liberal Club.In an atmosphere dominated by the discussions with the Smith r'ngime, in which the Prims Minister had taken pert the week previously, much attention was naturally focussd on the Rhedealan situation, and the work the Movement could do in the future on thin issue. Lnodng back however, S. Abdul, honorary secretary, gave atrnehantly realistic analysis of the past year's work Inanincreasingly difficult situstion. He pointed out that iss public enthusiasm for anti-racist activity centred on Southern Africa was a difficulty compounded by the Labour Government's determination to seek setlementstn Rhodeala, and associate Intimately with the South African Government. Nonetheless, as DavidSteel, MP, President of the AAMd and chairman of the meeting pointed out in his summing up rennirks, despite- these problems, the past year had seen Anti-Apartheid moves as crucial In saving the arms emargo on South Africa, prison as a conscientious objector, on the piatform, or among the crowds, had brought Fenner the respect even of his enemies and friendship and fame in every corner of the world. The same theme and the same conclusion imbued a dinner the following night, attended by many old friends - Including such widely differing personalities as Lord Boothy and Bishop Trevor Huddleston. Bar, bar Castle, proposing Fener'sheasith, described how she had followed him round the Commonwealth in the past, a pale shadow of his own burintg conviction. Gerald Gardner, the Lord Chancellor, q-oted his own speech in the Lords, when he hailed Femer as the author of the new Race Relations Bill, ending ... I think, and he knows that I think, that on practically everything, he has always been right". Fearer, overwhelmed, fumbled, as never before, for words to reply, But suddenly the political animal in hii seemedt rouse tself and, before six Cabinet Ministers knew what ha hit them, the broadside he delivered seemed to thunder: God, if you think so much of what I stand for, why the bloody ell don't you liusten to me?" Why, Weed!

ANTI-APARTHEID NEWS Novemabs 1968 Pu. 3 The whitewash brigade TODAY, THE people of Britain are slowly becoming aware that for somhe years past hey have besn lbs target for South African race propagandacamaigns, of ever-inereasleg subtlety and persuasiveness, in which full segregation of the races is claimed tobs the only cure for the world's racial Ills. In many respects, this propaganda cuts across the spirit, if not the letter, of Britain's Race Relations Acts; but is It really a danger to this o stry? And are South Afr ca's racebtasd argments really believed. Olusainnaire There Is a arnaple, if unusual way, f Aswsering that last question. What follows is a brief questionaire, with two possible aswers to each qaustin. The reader should tick the answer (a) or (b) to which seems, to him, closest to what influential people in Britain (and particularly those who have recently visited South Africa) are known s have ben saying about South Africa In articles and interviews in the British Press, mugahafes and television. (In this quiz, -Africans" means 'Bantu - as distinct from Hottentots or Bushmen). I. The white man first settled permanently in South Africa.. (a) before, or about the same time as the Africans. (b) At least S0t years after permanent African settlement. 2. South Africa's Native Reserves and Bantasans.. (a) Are the only land the Africans ever settled. (b) Are all that is left to the Africans after the white man took mest of South Africa from them, includingall the major goldfields. 3. The Tr nskei Baetustan is... (a) A self-governing territory for Africa"e, given full autononsybytheSouth African Government. (b)A puppet state under rigid South African control, in which whites still "have mere rights than Africans. 4. African education in South Africa over the "(s) made great strides, and isbetter than ever before. (b) Now has less spent on It per capite " than before. 5. 'The Africans of South Africa... a) ti the main approve of Separate lDevelopmat. isb) When consulted, have rejected Separate Development outright. In every case, the correct answers to this quiz are (b), the second answer; (for documentation, see footnote). Every (a) aswearis false. But it is these false answers that always apPear in South African propaganda throughout the world, and which are repeated again and again by white South Africa's friends, overseas. Together, with dozens of Other blatantly talse claims, in the fields ofeconomics, history, education, achievement and race relations, they form the view which mast Britons have now gained of what they think is happening Is Sooth Africa. Propaganda campaign The full South Africa propaganda campaign can be examined quite easily by asking South Africa Houseorsuchfellow-travellerorgasisations as the South Africa Foundation for Information about South Africa; byposting the coupon in a South African propganda advertisement; or by attending a Soth African emigration film show, etc. The material John Laurence, author of The Seeds of Disaster (published by Gollancz this year at 42s), here examines the nature of South African propaganda abroad and its effects on British people. A tyPicalt Oricial South African Picture attract eseas d beashes supplied will be found to be subtly race-blased, very persusive, extensively distorted in vital areas such as non-white health and opportunities, and strongly dependent on deliberate falsehoods, many of which have been long disproved by white South Africa's own scholars. The overall effect of this material 'is to glee the =nsuspectnlg reader a twisted, untrue and wholy racist view of South Africa, apparently reasonable and responsible in tone, but charcterised by half-truthsa ad oissions, and calculated to increase racisl prejudice and ancritical feelings of race pride in all those whites who read it. South African race propaganda is a major operation. This year, some £2-and-a-half million is being spent on it by the South African Department of Information alone, and further large sums propagate the same matrial on behalf of "The Voice of South Africa's" powerful short-wave radio transmissions, the $oatu African Tourist Corporation, South African Airways, the South Africa Foundation and various individuals. This propaganda does net existinisolation. It Is paralleled by a heavy indoctrination campaign in South Africa itslf, coupled with extensive cenorship and the hanning and silencing (without explarathin. trialor access to legal counsel) of all the South African Government's really capable critics When to this nation-wide acceptance of the specious and the false, is added thepolsrising effect of South Africa's immigration and tourist laws -only whites are admitted from overseas, and all known Leftists arehenned-. it can be seen thatSouth Africa canbe loosely described as a kind of self-perpetuating factory of racist falsehoods - a copntrywlde propaganda machine from which the innocent white visitor returns to his homeland often convinced that apartheid is really 'separate development', and as such is quite good and just; that South Africa's critics are wrong and probably Commist.inspired; and that the black man, by his very refusal to criticise apartheid whenaked, mustobviouslyapprove of the white man's plans for him. The pint ahoot visitors is an important one. About two years ago, the South African Department of Information relied that the conditioning of South Africa itself was so complete that even the sceptical visitor cpuld, in most cases, now be allowedtormam the country at will, listening to the curious sameness and consistency of the 'separate development story', as it is told by whites from Belt Bridge to Cape Point. And so a world-wide campaign was courageously launched to eccoarage tourism (whites only, of course) to South Africa. It is having considerable success, and one can glimps its face in, for iastance, the recent Union Castle Line advertisement in the British Press: 'South Africa? - well, go and then you'lhlow" -which does notimention that only whites may go. BOAC has recently been entreating (white) Britons to visit their (white) relatives and friends in South Africa, and even 'Queen' magazine, in their Semicritical special feature on South Africa on September 11, t968, used South Africa's own propaganda arguments to perfection, in stating 'There are three reasons why we should go to South Africa - and then rged its (white) readers to msake the trip, and trade and talk; activities which leave South Africa with an even greater stranglehold on the British economy, and usually result in a further batch of subtly brainwashed visitors. The result is significant and disturbieg particularly as the other side (theopilroneof the 82 per cent mon- white majority in South Africa) is in mary cases never heard at all. When it is heard, those telling it are accused of being agitators and Communists - the d'Oliveira affair is but one of many cases in point. Is it really wrong for Britons to visit South Africa simply as innocent tourists? Obviously, a massive, word-wide propaganda operation whose whole rationale is based on the alleged importance of the colour of a man's ski must cripple every attempt *at racial Integration to greater or lesser degree, just as a propaganda canpaignbased on apartheid between Protestant and Catholic would ruin all attempts at friendly religious cooperation (particularly if those spending m.ion os the campaign had less than i years earlier shot 69 members of the other group dead). Bt South African propaganda does more than re-divide communties on colour lines. It claims that tefogration Is unworkable and even wrong. It produces 'proof' - heavily documented with figures, photographs and legal tracts (and sometimes even asubserventblachman or two) that segregation is the answerto race problems, and that even the mast honest attempts at integration must fail. And In this - for it is very plausible - it undermines the morals and efforts of all those whostrive for a world not divided on racial lines, makes their task harder, confune the issue, and places powerful-sounding arguments is the hands of local racists. If South Africa's race propaganda were based on fact, and fairly and hhestly argued, this would be to the good. Honost discussion however way-out - is vitally important on race matters. Bt - as can beseenby a nyone who cares to check for himself - South African race propaganda is neither true nor fair. It is deliberately based on known falsehoods. It is speciously argued. It uses fabricated or twisted statistics. And it is undeniably the voice only of the small white minority in South Africa - of people who belie their own arguments and their own promises for separate development, by having to keep It in operation by armed force. Britain is faced withadifficultandcomplex race sitation. She wishes to solve it with justice and fairness to all - so that all my share in our society and its frits, without discrimination. In Britain, however, there are many excolonials - misguided (but not often evil) people - whose views on race sure biased, incomplete and out-of-date. It is this type of person particularly for whom Sedan African race propaganda is written, and to swhom it most appeas. It is these people, many of them in influential and even key positions in the country, who are the prime trget of racist propaganda, directed from a foreign state, and who - asualty quite uaknowingly are being turnsed against their own fellowBritons in a confrontation which c only benefit racist South Africa, but which can help to destroy Britain.

RECENTLY ANTI-Apartheld had a precise experience with one of the forms ofinsidious Soth African whitewash, practised bybodles not officially connected with the Republic's Government It concerned the devotion to South Africa, of an entire issue this year of Incentive 68, the glossy monthly, published by BOAC, a British public corporation, of course. The journal claims to be non-political, but propagandists in Pretoria were subsequently pleased to quote extracts from it in their information material. And why nt? The opening article dealt shortly with the historical development of the Cape as a trading station, and the Anglo-Dutch trade wors. The anonymous writer made the following unhistorical observation; 'Nowadays, fortnately. trade wars are less fashionable, though hostility can still take the form of boypotts or sanctions. It is debatable whether suenc action, or talk of It, often achieves the deslrbd end'. One might consider that such sweeping generallsations are only directed at the Aati.npsrtfied forces, and are misplaced ANTI-APARTHEID COUNTER-ATTACKS here: or that it is also 'debatable' whether such comment in the journal of a public body I ill-timed, following recent BritishGovernment announcements of strengthened sanctions against Rhodesia. The informatlon supplied Is certaily often reminiscent of the South African Department of Information hand-outs... South Africans are fortunate that "their income of £260 per capita0 is higher than African norms... Why not break down that £260 and give os comparative rates for the t8 per cent white5 go 82 per cent non-whites? Or wound this not suit the purpose of the writer? The statement that 'the balance of trade let heavily in Britais's favour" is aoger true. Let us tarn to the 'Conclusion' -the only signed article - written by the 'Incentive 68 editor, Robert Blackburn. Blackburn underlines the 'fact' that his review 'has no politicse; also that 'a short business visit does nt qualify the visitor as an overnight expert on the political affairs of a country'. However, short visits, are better than no visits, and 'we are perhaps better informed than some of the commentators who base their opinions solely on second-hand sources... 'It s convenient for may journasiato and poitical commentators to see international affairs entirely in political terms, bt, it makes littlepractical sense to otherpeople... mass media generaly have no profound interest in the realities of trade.e The Anti-Apartheid Movement wrote to BOAC. The Chairman, Sir Giles Guthrie, replied: 'I really find it hard to believe that anyone would consider the cmment which you have quoted as being 'loaded', and lam afraid, therefore, that I cannot accept your protest nor agree to your suggestion that we should print a fuller and maore thorough publication of the issues involved in South Africa... we are sincere is saying that Incentive 68 has no politics...' It is recoglised that BOAC and South African Airways (SAA) are members of the 'Springbok Partnership" in the majsr South African/Europe air link, and that with SAA Boeing 707s denied access to much African airspace by anti-apartheid states, BOAC VC Is make the British company a useful partner However, i ean be hoped thataprpaganda partnership, whether intentional or unintentional, with South Africa's apologists for apartheid, will not continue.

Qusonaire There Is a simple, if unusual way, of alowerig that last question. What follows Is a brief questionaire, with two possible answers to each question. The reader should ick the answer (a) or (b) to which seems, to him, closest to what influential people in BrItain (and particularly those who have recently visited South Africa) are known to have been saylng about South Africa in articles ani Interviews in the British Press, mgagihes and television. (In this quiz, 'Africans" imeans Bantu* - as distinct from Hottentots or Bushmen). 1. The white man first settled permanently in South Africa... (a) before, or about the same time as the Africans. .(b) At least 500 years after permanent African settlement. 2. South Africa's Native Reserves and Bantsin*s... (a) Are the only land the Africans ever settled, (s) Are all that is left to the Africans after the white man too most of Smuth Africa from them, intldingall the major goldields. 3. Th Trnkei Bantustn isa... S (a) A self-governing territory for Afrcans, gives folI autonomy by theSouth Afrcoan Government. b) A pppet state under rigid South AfrIcan coitrol, in which whites still ha e more rights than Africans. 4. Afcneducation in South Africa over the pat 2years.. U Ha made great strides, and is better then ever before.* 03) Now has less spent on it per capita >. than before. 5. The Africans of South Africa... (Int main,approve ofSeparate SDevelopmentt. (b) When consulted, have rejected Separate Development outright. In every case, the correct answers to this quiz are (b), the second answer; (for doeumentation, see footnote). Every (a) answeris false. But it is these false answers that always appear in South African propaganda throughout the world, and which are repeated again and again by white South Africa's friends, overseas. Together, with dozens of other blatantly false claims, In the fields Ofeconomina, history, education, achievement and race relations, they form the view which moot Britons have now gaIned of what they think is happening in South Africa. Propaganda campaign The full South Africa propaganda campaign can be examined quite easily by asking South .Africa Hose or suchfellow-travellerorganisations as the South Africa Foundatidn for infornmation about South Africa; by postiag the coupon in a South African propaganda advertisement; or by attending a South African emigration film show, etc. The material John Laurence, author of The Seeds ofDisaster (published by Gollancz thisyear at 42.), here examines the nature of South African propaganda abroad and its effects on British people. beautiful basuhe. A typical oficial South African picturs attract estaru made of segregated bashee. sopplied wll be found to be subtly race-biased, very persuasive, extensively distorted in vital areas such as non-white health and opportunities, and strongly dependent on deliberate falsehoods, many of which have been long disproved by white South Africa's owe scholars. The overall effect of this material 's to gve the ensuspeelng reader a twisted, untrue and Wbly racist view of South Africa, apparently reasonable and responsible in tone, but characterised by balf-truths and omissions, and calculated to increase raciai prejudice and uncritical feelings of race pride in all those whites who read it. South African race propaganda is a major operation. This year, some £2-and-a-half million is being spent on it by the South African Department of Information alone, and further large sums propagate the same matbrial on behalf of 6The Voice of South Africa's' powerful short-wave radio transmissions, the South African Tourist Corporation, South African Airways, the South Africa Foundation and various Individuals. This propaganda does not exist oinisoistion. It Is paralleled by a heavy indoctrination campaign in South Africa itself, coupled with extensive censorship snd the banning and silencing (without explastitiOn, trialor access to legal cousel) of all the South African Government's really capable critics When to this nation-wide accptanceof the specious and the false, is added theplarising effect of South Africa's immigration and tourist laws - only whites are admitted from overseas, and all known Leftlstsarebanned-. it cabe sees thatSouth Africa can be loosely described' as a kind of saelf-perpetuating factory of racist falsehoods - a copntrywide propaganda machine from which the Innocent white visitor returns to his homeland often convinced that apartheid Is really 'separate development', and as such Is quite good and just; that South Africa's critics are wrong and probably Commsnist-inspred; and that the black man, by his very refusalto critieise apartheid when asked, mustobviouslyaPProve of the white man's plans for him. The point aout visitors is an important one. About two years ago, the South African Department of Information reallied that the conditioning of South Africa itself was so complete that even the sceptical visitor could, in mast cases, now be allowedtoroam the country at will, listeuing to the curions sameness and consistency of the 'separate development story', as it is told by whites from Belt Bridge to Cape Point. And so a world-wide campaign was courageously launched to encourage tourism (whites only, of course) to South Africa. It is having considerable success, and one can glimpse its face in, for instance, the recent Union Castle Line advertisement in the British Press: 'South Africa? - well, go and then you'll rsowe -which does notmention that only whites may go. BOAC has recently been estreating (white) Britons to visit their (white) relatives and friends in South Africa, and even 'Quedn' magazine, In their Aemicritical special feature on South Africa on September 11, 1968, used South Africa's own propaganda arguments to perfection, in stating 'There are three reasons why we should go to oth Africa" - and then urged its (white) renders to make the trip, and trade and talk; activities which leave South Africa with an even greater stranglehold on the Britih economy, and usually result in a further batch of subtly brainwashed visitors. The result 19 significant and disturbing particularly as the other side (theopitonsof the 82 per cent non- white majority in South Africa) is in many cases never heard at all. When it is heard, those telling it are accused of being agitators and Communists - the d'Oliveira affair is bat one of many cases in point. Is it really wrong for Britons to visit South Africa simply as innocent tourists? Obviously, a massive, world-wide propaganda operation whose whole rationale is based on the alleged Importance ofthe colour of a si'a n k'hin mut criple every attempt ,at racial inegralion to greater or lesser degree, just as a propaganda campaign based on apartheid between Protestant and Catholic would ruin all attempts at friendly rellgious cooperation (particularly if those spending millions on the campaign had less than 10 years earlier shot 69 members of the other group deed). But South African propaganda does more than re-divide ommauirties on colour lines. It claims that integration Is unworkable and even wrong. It produces 'proof' - heavily documented with figures, photographs and legal tracts (ands.omeimes even a subservientblak man or two) that segregation is theanswerto race problems, and that even the most honest attemopts at integration must fail. And in this - for it is very plausible - it undermines the morale and efforts of all those whostrivefor a world not divided on racial lines, makes their task harder, confuses the issue, anti places powerful-sounding arguments in the hands of local racists. If South Africa's race propaganda were based on fact, and fairly and hoestly argued, this would be to the good. Honest discusson however' way-out - Is vitally important on race matters. But - as can beseenby anyone who cares to check for himself - South African race propaganda is neither true nor fair, it is deiberately based on known falsehoods. It to speciously argued. It uses fabricated or twisted statistics. And it is undeniably the voice only of the small white minority in South Africa - of people who belie their own arguments and their own promises for separate development, by having to keep it in operation by armed force. Britain is faced with adifficultand comptex race situation. She wishes to solve it with justice and fairness to all - so that all may share in our society and its fruits, without diserimination. In Britain, however, there are many excolonias - misguided (but not often evil) people - whose views on race are biased, incomplete and out-of-date. It is this type of person particularly for whom So h African rae propaganda Is written, and to vhom it most apieals. It is these people, any of them in influential and even key positions in the country, who are the prime target of' racist propaganda, directed from a foreign state, and who - usually quite unkoowingly are being turned against their own fellowBritons in a confrontation which can only benefit racist South Africa, but which can help to destroy Britin.

RECENTLY ANTI-Apart~eld had a precise experience with one of the forms ofinsidious South African whitewash, practised bybdn not officially connected with the Republic's Government. It concerned the devotion to South Africa, of an entire issue this yedr of Incentive 68 the glossy monthly, published by BOAC, a British public corporation, of course. The journal claims to be non-political, but propagandists in Pretoria were subsequently pleased to quote extracts from it in their information material. And why not? The opening article dealt shortly with the historical development of the Cape as a trading station, and the Anglo-Dutch trade s-a. The anonymous writer made the following uanhistorical observation: "Nowadays, fortunately, trade wars are less fashionable, though hostility can still take the form of boycotits or sanctions, It is debatable whether sU ch ation, or talk of it, often achieves the desirid end*. One might consider that such sweeping goerallsatons are only directed at the A I Osryes. and are misplaced ANTI-APARTHEID COUNTER-ATTACKS here: or that it is also 'debatable" whether such comment in the journal of a public body illill-timed, following recent BritishGovernment announcements of strengthened sanetiouns against Rhodesia. The information supplied is certainly often reminiscent of the South African Department of Information hand-outs... South Africans are fortunate that 'their income of £260 per capita' is higher than African norms... Why not break down that £260 and give us conparative rates for the 18 per cent whites Ad 82 per cost non-whites? Or wound this not suit the purpose of the writer? The statement that 'the balance of trade lies heavily in Britain's favoj_ nooer true. Let us turn to the 'Conclusion" -the only signed article - written by the 'Incentive 68' editor Robert Blackburn. Blsekburn underlines the 'fact that his review 'has no politics"; also that 'a short business visit does not qualify the visitor as an overnight expert on the political affairs of a country". However, short visits, are better than no visits, and 'we are perhaps better informed than some of the commentators who base their opinions solely on second-hand sources... 'it is convenient for mnaey journste and political commentators to see international affairs entirely In political terms, but, it makes lttiepractical sense To otherpeople... mass media generally have an profound interest li the realities of trade.' The Anti-Aparthed Movement wrote to BOAC. The Chairman, Sir Giles Guthrie, replied: at really find it hard to believe that anyone would consider the comment which you have quoted as being 'loaded*, and I am afraid, therefore, that I cannot accept your protest nor agree to your suggestion that we should print a fuller and more thorough publication of the issues involved in South Africa... we are sincere is saying that Incentive 68 has no polities ... " It is recognised that BOAC and South African Airways (SAA) are members of the, 'Springbok Partnership" in the major South African/Europe air link, and that with SAA Boeing 707s denied access to much African airspace by anti-apartheid States, BOAC VC tIs make the British company a ueful partner. However, it can be hoped ttaprop partershp, whether intentional or unintentional, with South Africa's apologistsfor apartheid, will not continue, ANTI-APARTHEIDNEWS Novaeme 15 Pap4, RH.ObESIA: UK RETREATS WITH FEARLESS PROPOSALS: Fearless prepares final retreat A COMPARISON of TInr and Fened- Con .tllneal pmposael, showing the diminahIsO British concern for Rhdeics African to-lanky.

No one was to be detained unless he HAD committed acts of violence or intimidation. Under Fearless, however, likelihood of such facts Is the criterion. Fearless leaves theireleaseofpoltlfcal detatees ultimately dependent on a court out of whose three judges, two would be white Rhodeslans. As Sir Dingle Fot commented in Parliament: *The decisions tocontinue detention will be taken 'by a Judge of the Rhodeslan High Court',presumably one of the foresworn Judges. one of those who would not even give effect to the Queen's reprieve. "Fearless proposes: Cases in which release is not recommended by the Judge will be referred to an inpartial judicial tribunal. This will consist of three members of whom one will be nominated by the Lord Chancellor and two will be Rhodesian nominees. eTwo will be the wominees of Mr Smith or Mr Lardner-.Burke. This is a worthless safeguard.' Return to legality in the Tiger proposals there was insistence on the Rhodeslans returning to legality, with a broad-based interim Government. Has the Smith regime showe such integrity in the past two years to warrant the fact that Fearless makes no suggestion that the Governor 'should have legislative power; no suggestion that the armed forces and the police should be the Governor's responsibility, advised by a security council of which Britain should provide one member. Providing Mr Smith brings a few Africans into Government, he can remain ip control during the wholeperiod when oe iRoyal Commission tests Rhodesian public opinion on the accep, tablity of te independence coastito. tion. Membership of this Commission Is not nielled out. Will members have access to the views of the detainees? Unless all the detainees are released the testing of opinion would be valueless. (Eoropean missioneariesn inlldesin estimate that Joshua Nkomo has the support of S0 per cent of the Africans, who themselves form 95 per cent of the population.) Thus, Fearless is, for Britain. a distinct retreat fromTiger. MrSmith's demurral at eventhepuny' safeguards" it exprnsses for African opportunity, and Mr Thomuon's eagerness to talk yet again, cause real fear that Britain is about to retreat too far.

FRANK JUDD: On the night of UDI the Prime Minister spoke for all thatis best in Britain when he assured the people of Rhodesia that we would doeverything necessary end stand firm tobringthem back on the roadto majority rule. Three years later the Commonwealth Office has at Its disposal masses of accumelated evidence of the knock at the door in the middle of the night, people in prison without trial, brutal interrogation techniques, illegal executions and all the other nauseating paraphernalia of a police state. In this debate and every other debate throughout the Rhodesia crisis we have been debating the will - whether we have the willtosolve this crisis or not. JEREMY THORPE: I cannot in my heart bring myself to say that on the basis of this document and these proposals, we could have anhonourable andlasting settlement. The good faith of the country is at stake. The future of four million Africans and Britain's reputation for non-racialism are at stake. We cannot, simply because it is easy, accept a paper agreement which will be revoked, possibly torn up, within a matter of months.

AAM ON TALKS THE ANTI.APARTHEID-MOVEMENT condemns the Fearless proposals as a betrayal of commitments to the Commonwealth, to the United Nations, to the British people ad to the vital interests of Rhodesia's African population.

'ANTI-APARTHID Ne"~ fq_ lssu No 5 CALL FOR SUPPORT: AAM LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN TO STOP SELLOUT Westminster lobby imperative now A LABOUR MP PLEADS FOR ACTION I SUSPECT THAT many readers of Anti-Apartheid News are disenchanted with the Labour Government's record in Southern Africa. This feeling will have been powerfully re-ioforced by the recent Rhodesia negotiations on "Fearless*. The terms of the Agreement set out in the White Paper are, if anything, less acceptable for those concerned about African rights than the "Tiger" proposals. The Government seems bellbent on a settlement, irrespective of the terms. As with so much else, readers may well be lead to question the utility of campaigning within the Labour movement. It will be said that the Labour Party Conference has gone on record against any settlement with the illegal Smith regime and yet that view counted for nothing. Why then strive to bring pressureon Members of the Parlilmentary Labour Party (PLP)? I can understand this view, yet it cannot be denied that, given the will, Labour MPs have power to change the direction of Governmentpolticy. Whether they will do so, is another matter. There is a considerable body of opinion -by no means restricted to the 52 Members who voted against the Government over the Fearless proposals on October 22 - who are anhappy about the terms of the proposedsettlemeat. This opposition is widespread and represents the full spectrum of Parity pinion. Members such as Paul Rose (Manchester, Blackley), Alex Lyons (York), James Johnson (Hull), Jim Wellbeloved (Erith aed, Crayford), were numbered amongst those who deliberately abstained, or voted against the Government. Rhodesia is THE issue facing the Labour Government during this present Parliament. It is of such magnitude that Members are prepared to resign their membership of the PLP, rather t accept the terms. It was said, during the course of the Debate, -that there are Ministers in the Government who shoald be ashamed of their connivance in such a settlement. Principle seems to have lost out to pragmatism and to the fruits of office. Those whom we might have expected to make a stand, judging from what they said when we were in Opposition, apparently do nut, intend to. They have abandoned the postures of principle which they adopted in opposition. Power and position have bought them'. I wouldn't for os moment wish to deny this allegation. At the same time it mist be pointed out that not all Members are sabject to such blsndishments. Commitments It should be our task to remind Members and Ministers of their earlier commitments to the principles of multiracialism and self-government. Recent editorials - particularly in The Guardian and The Sanday Times, and the Anti-Apartheid News analysis of the Fearless proposals (see these pages) have indicated the paucity of the Government's case. Thespeeches from the Government's Front Bench failed to, carry conviction. The ease for rejecting the Fearless sell-out is therefore strong. Those MPs who voted for the Government must therefore justify their action, nt only to the Whips, but to those by whom they are elected. If Parliamentary democracy is to be made a reality, Members should give an account of their action, and provide constituents with ajustification of their conduct. If your Member of Parliament is one of those who either voted for the Government or who abstained (see thin page), you should write to him and solicit an expression of his views. It is difficult to, speculate as to the prospects of a settlement following George Thomson's visit to Salisbury. A settlement would necessitate the passage throagh the Hosme ofa Rlhdesia Independence Act. The Bill would he bitterly fought and could well require Tory support. Whether the Government would be prepared to accept such ignominy is open to question. This would certainly be required, if 100 Labour Members could be persuaded to oppose Its passage. Members of Parliament must therefore be subject to maximum persuasion and readers should begin a "creative dialogue" with their local Members. We therefore strongly urge you to lose no time in writing to yow Mnembers, or, alternatively, visiting their surgeries. Debates in Parliament are a mere charade; Members have nmade up their, minds well in advance as to how they will vote. The decisive vote could well be early next year. No time should therefore be lost In making contact with your Member an advising us of his reply. THE BLACK PEOPLE of Rhodesia expect a settlement before Christmas. In the current discussions they expect Britain to make all ,the concessions. Their confidence In the UK Government has been betrayed andno arrangements they make with the Smith regime are acceptable. These stern words came last month from Herbert Thompson, leader of the Rhodesian National Association of Coloured People, visiting London with Mr B. Govan, Asian Independent MP in Rhodesia, in a belated attempt to get a black man's poistof view across to the Government. -All non-whites in Rhodesia will refuse the Fearless terms," Mr Thompson said. "We know Smith has no intention of advancing the Africans. We now have to choose between joining Smith and finding our own emancipation". Mr Thompson said econmic sanctions were hurting the blacks more than the whites in Rhodesia, but since the blacks were used to suffering, they wanted them to continue and hit the white farmers and business further. Some black farmworkers, previously earning only 45s a month on a whiteowned farm, were now doing better at subsistence farming in the reserves, after being laid off because ofsanctions, Mr Thompson said the news of the freedom-fighters' activities was widely ,welcomed among black people in Rhodesia, and while some people acted as informers, most received and sheltered the freedom fighters, and wished them well. Mr B. Govan said the Fearless proposals side-stepped the six principles. He said there was n point is negotiating with Ian Smith, who did not speak for the Africans, whose popular leaders were detained, with hushed voices. DESERTIONS CRACKS ARE appeuring in the loyalty of the Rhodesian African Rifles, recent reports from Salisbury suggest. This regiment of Rhodesian African soldiers has been used by the Smith Defence authorities to counter guerilla activity in the Zambezt Valley, but arny records are showing an increasing number of court martials and desertions. In the pant, the regiment has beenan attractive work prospect far Africans. The soldiers are among the few Africans who can live with their families intheir place of employment. The salaries are comparatively high. Politics play a part in the regiment's training, and the current "enemy" is explained in terms of communism, evil, destruction of peace, family and home. However, recent reports tell one story of a company in the Regiment who were so impressed at not being shot at by a guerilla force they met, that they downed arms and fled.

In it, A ObieSachstellsthestoryofStephlane Kemp, ayoun girl, who, out of a child-lk, innate sense of justice, becomes a member of a sabotage movement in South Africa. She was arrested, savagely assaulted by her interrogators, and sentenced to two years Imprisonment. Mr Sachs was one of the lawyers in her defence team. He himself had been detained nder the 90-day law. Mr Sachs describes the progress of Mis Kemp'a trial; the process by which she is tranaformed from. an instinctively humanita. rian innocent into a reasoned, humanitarian adult; his own subsequenttorture by sleep. deprivation; how he and Miss Kemp fell in love and got married. Unerring delicacy t is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the most poignant love stories of our tie s. It in one which eouldhave heenwritten in a vulgar, eetional fashion and yet net have repelled the reader. Mr Sachs tells it, however, with unerring delicacy and subtlety. The restraint which he employs is, almot Jamesian in what it leaves unspoken. and yet gives no feeling of over-reftement. He tells us all we need to know, while preserving his and her privacy. Woven into this most moving tale are the other facets at the book. Mr Sachs gives us a clear and Illuminating account of South African police methods. I learned from Stephanie On Trial more about how normalseeming people Can behave in an unbelievably barbaric manner, than I have learned from ay booksince Darkness At Noon. Writers learn early enough that overemotionalism is less telling than cold fact, but, technically, cold fact can be as overdone as passion. Mr Sachs has gone beyond that. His account of Stephanie's head being beaten on the floor is told neither with rage nor with coldness, but with a precise calm which seare one's eno a far more. Mr Sachs writes with a compassion which shames and steadies all the emoional indalgance which liberals allow themselves. His treatment af Adrian Leftwich, the golden boy of the sabotage movenent, who came to betray all the others, i Informed by a tolerance and understanding which is hard to imagine. in measured assessment of his torturers seams to stem from an inuneasurable love of humanity. Far from diminishing the indictment of the South African Government, Mr Sachs' style- and inspiration add Up to a greater condeanation than all the polemics of the professional agitator. The difference in that Mr Sachs returns net hate for hate, but love. His is the elvili satin - not theirs. Stephanie Sachs EDGAR BROOKES AND -Robert Tredgold two weil-known men In Southern Africa, distinguished, highly intelligent, and civillsed, both with experience of service in the legisistres of their countries. Brookes is an historian, moral philosopher, expert in government -a South African. Tredgold is a retired Judge, formerly one of the leading men In public affairs - in Rhodesia. oh are liberals. Broohes has now produced a reader for students of South Africa: Apartheid: A Doc mentary Study of Modern South Africi(Routledge & Kegan Pasi -paperback). Tredgold has written a book of reminiscences,, to sketchy for an autohiography; The Rhodesia That Was MY Life (Allen & Unwis: 45s). Roth books tell us much about the countries they are set in, and both revealtheir authors. Brookes' documents - Parliamentary de. bates, newspaper articles, extracts from leglsation - speak for themselves, though I wonder whether readers unused to picking their way through the verbiage of constitotionl lawyers will cope with some of the enactmenis quoted. There are some curious Omissions: in the section on Opposition Polles, there is no mention of theFreedom Charter adopted by the Congress Alliance in l55. And here'is the first clue to the limitations both men share. Law philosophy In their philosophy, law is a supremely Important value. Law is enacted In Pariamerit, and opposition to proposed lawa meet be heard there. But once the law is low, it mast be obeyed. Extra-Parliamentary opposition (Le. 99 per cent of African politics io South Africa, 95 per cent in Rhodesia) is aot somehow - opposition. Both Brookes and Tredgold have 9pposed unjust laws, and as a result lost friends and the prospect of even more success in their careers tha, they have had. This l in their credit. Bat beth men have lived out their lives in, and helped to shape, aietes in which the great majority of people live outside the law. For Africans. the law has beun an instrument of oppreslon, sometig to their ordinary lives, and in the course of expressig political opposition. Reality Standing within the law, and never understanding others' way Of life or their own compromised position within the law, these two men have been cut off from the human and political realities of their times. Ths Brookes it was who once advocated total segregation in South Africa, and who now, in the Introduction tohis hook, dinmssesaneton against Soth Africa and Rhodesia in four lines, and fails even to consider the possibility that the oppressed o-white majority will fight for its freedom. Like the NationalistGovernment, Ironically, his philosophy enables him only to envisage force as an external, alien intrusion in the situation. He cannot envisage it as a legtimate weapon of self-defence by, the African people, against whom it is used Constantly. Tredgold too shows himself out tof touch: steeped is the gentlemanly (and therefore racially Unprejudiced) habits of thneghtofthe nineteenth century imperialists, he touches lightly or gravely on the problems of Shade- Wit at Sussex SUSSEX UNIVERSITY'S Teach - In on the Future of Southern Africa, last month, was treated to more than the UnsnI dosage of information 'and wit (Prof. Julius Lewin on South Africa these days: "Even to eleet one's thoughts is a form of unlawful assembly'), but the audience never flagged, except when it came to that 64 million dollar questioa IItat can we DO about it" Lots of hll points were made during the fourand- a-half hour scrutiny of apartheid and Portuguese colonl1li'a e . Sin like a collector exanisigold china. Thus, for example, colour prejudice is picked Up, examined, and an opinion passed: 1 suppose that colour prejudice is vestigial from some deep-seated, primeval instinct?. Or note the uncomprehending outrage in this remark on Rhodesia's security laws (which led Sir Robert to resign the Chief Jeeticeshp): cannot understand wh every ordinary Rhsdesian does nat revolt against a prectice that is as manitetly Contrary to the eleontary principles of fair play, and which is completely unnecessary for the maintenance of securitym'. It is clearfromthe eontettthat Tredgold oly regards thodesians as whites, and it Is equally clear thathe does not relse that 'security' means theirprivi. lnge.Butforhimthemaintmmeaeof'"acuriy' is necessary. Guilty Future htorlans of a free anddemocratic Southern Africa will, I am sure, not deal kindly with the Tredgolds and Brooes's of the pst. They will be found gality. perhaps with ie cirumstns.

ANTI-APARTHEID NEWS k 1wan s 8i Peg. e UK-SA TRADE. THREE ASPECTS THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT, despite political difficulties in Southern Africa, remains anxious to keep trade with South Africa 'on as promising and profitable a basis as possible, as we see in this article. On the other hand, South Africa, always fearing sudden drastic unfavourable changes in this position, is taking precautions not to be caught napping. Below, Dave Shipper gives details of recent moves towards untraditional trading areas being made by the Republic. Anthony Jeary demonstrates a third point of view. 'POLITICAL DIFFERENCES should not be allowed to Interfere withthegrowthof trade', Anthony Crosland, President of the Board of Trade sold last month, presumably aware that political differences are supposed, currently, to be interfering with the growth of Aglo-Rhodeslan trade, since his Government has initiated international economic sanctions against the rebel colony. But Mr Croslsad is not naive. He was addressing so less a body than the UK-South Africa Trade Association, assembled, together with the South African Ambassador, at their annal London luncbeon. 'We all know there areimortntissueson which the BriltishGoversmentandthefGovern- Germany with £135 million and Japn with ment of Sooth Africa have widely differing £67 milt Views,' said Mr Cronland, shot It has always .s Edmund Dell, Minister of State at the been my Government's view that political , Board of Trade, in Parliament last month, differencesshould notbe allowediointerfere told these two evergeen Tory fighters for with the growth of trades.

Cvtmn Separate buses TRAVEL BY bus in South Africa Is, Iltkemost things, a segregated experience. Rut for years the Cape Town municipalty, unlike all others in the country, held out against this aspect of apartheid In its entirety, and instead of having separate buses fordifferent rates, has merely had a vague form of seating negregation, not, always rigidly adhered to, within one bus. Last month a new campaign was launched by hard-line whites, to get the buses straight on the colour line. But the mnlcpality is suddenly making it plain_ that, for once, apartheid is going to hurt white citizens. A 17 per cent increase t municipal rates, as a subsidy to the private bus companies has been shown as the only way to pay for this kind of apartheid. The 175 buses needed for totally segregated services over the city's 35 routes wouldcost £1.5 million, Some 600 more drivers and conductors would be needed and could not be recruited unless job reservatios was relaxed and non-whites admitted to thework. Faced with this kind of economic 'hardship', the whites may decide, not for the first time, that apartheid isn't worth it. A recent Government a.nouncemeoi shows that even the Government is having to rethink certain aspects of policy, It said the new Physical Planning Act would sot now be spotied in such a way that normal economic growth would be hampered. POLITICS STOP SPORT A CLEARI indication of the Sooth African Governaes's attitude towards sport was given recently In a directive to the Port Elizahth School Feeding Fund. The Government does sot encourage sport between Coloureds and Africans, ay the directive. Permits may be issued for'games in Coloured and African areas only if there bre separate entrances and sesthig, and, if possible, separate toilets. Games between Coloureds and Africans in White areas are not allowed at all. The Fund wanted to organisea rugby mtch between Coloured and Africanteams, to raise funds for needy children. The organisers asked for permiason in May this year to hold the match In the centre of town, a White area, within 14 days. After waiting till the rugby season was nearly through, the Town Clark sent the directive from the Secretary for Bantu Administration and Development. The fund-raising matchhas sottekenplace. Baby boom WHITE SOUTH African women must have more bahien, and black ones less. This brliwave occurred last month to Dr C.J. Joosts, director of the South African Bureau of Racial Affairs, as the way to raise the Uving standards of all races In Southern Africa. Anthony Crosland Solidarity boycott It is good to learn,, in the face of the apparently solid desire expressed by Tory businessmen and MP s, and Government spokesmen at the Board of Trade, to holster the South African economy, that not all British businessmen are backing this partieular export drive. Antony Jeary, of T.G. Jeary Veterinary Supplies Company in Wiltshire, has turned down a significant trading opportunity with a South African company. Mr Jnary wrote to the Johannesburg firm: 'This company is totally opposed to the degrading racial policy of apartheid and the violation of the basic human rights of the Coloured population of South Africa. We take this opportunity to demonstrate our support for, and solidarity with, the Africanpeopleof l refusing W profit from DrJon te said the efforts of South Africa's 16 maiIlion nn-wbins to raise their per capita income and standards would be helped if they could halve their birth rate. A growing white population on the other hand would Inspire confidence, encourage industrial expansion and maintain high employment, said Dr Jaste. He added that immigration offered only a short-term solution to the labour force problem - meaning of course the problem of keeping the present whites-only jobs for whites only. Medical fund LAST MONTH SAW the implementation, by the Southern Africa CommissionoftheYoun Liberals, of a resolution passed at the last YL Conferenee pledging practical support to the Freedom Fighters *through such eaus as medical aid'. The Young Liberals have now launched a running 'Medical Aid for Southern Africa" Appeal. They aim to send medicalequipmentto the ANC/ZAPU Aiance, for use on the battle frost, in Rhodesia, and also to FRELIMO for use on further improvtog conditions for the people in the lihberated areas of Mozambique. This is a chance for all AAM members to show that their moral support extends to practical support for the African people. Pleme send contributions to: YOUNG LIBERALS MEDICAL AID APPEAL, 21a Gwendolen Avenue, Putney, London, SW 15. Chequas/Postal Orders should be made payable to 'YL MEDICAL AID". A SUBURBAN homeowner near DurbanSouth Africa, recently had plans for his new home turned down because of an unwritten sewage apartheid law.

SOUTH AFRICAN armed forces recently underwest their third major anti-guerilla exercise this year, almost immsediately after completing the second. "Operation Salamander' took placein the Thabazimbi district, and the accent was onpatrolling on foot and tracking, with the accompanyng setting up and use of ambushes and road blocks. SOUTH AFRICA'S first missile base - for experimental tests and laonchings -will be established soon on the Zululand coast. Defence Minister Hothi said this move was essential for South Africa. Overseas firms which had already planned several missile bases in Europe had been called in as consulcants.

SOUTH AFRICA will be short of 1,278 white doctors, having trained only 61 per cent of her requirements over the next three years, a new report claimed last month. The figure is based on the present ratio of one doctor for 750 white patients and means that one million whites will soon be short of adoctor.
