...million are non-European. The two million minority, composed mainly of Afrikaners (of Dutch descent) have historically feared the dissolution of their culture in South Africa's non-European solvent. In recent years the program of "apartheid" imposed by the Government has attempted to keep the blacks "separate but equal." Strijdom, disliking the connotations of the term "apartheid," uses the phrase "separate development." But his policies have underscored separateness rather than development...

Hore-Belisha did much to prod his nation into preparedness, probably will be recalled by most Britons for his term...
