...still necessary in primitive Africa, but gradually they hope to remove it, as the Negroes "come of age." Opposing Huggins are the diehard Confederates. Many of Northern Rhodesia's white copper miners are Boer immigrants who support the segregation policies of South Africa's Daniel Malan. Only 64,000 whites-and 444 Africans -voted last week. They decided for the Federalists, and "racial partnership," by better than 4 to 1 vote. The results in terms of seats in Central Africa's first Federal Parliament were even more onesided: Federalists 24, Confederates 1, Independents 1. With this kind...
Between these two extremes, best represented in Africa by Prime Minister Nkrumah's self-governing Gold Coast and Prime Minister Malan's Jim Crow South Africa, there is a no man's land of strife, where one day it will be decided whether Empire can change to Commonwealth across the barriers of race...
Prime Minister Daniel Malan, 79, announced last week that he is stepping down from his No. 1 party job: leader of the Nationalist Party in Cape Province. The news-a portent that the paunchy old Boer may soon retire as Prime Minister-brought to the surface a longtime struggle for the succession.

"The South African Parliament," he thundered, "can abolish the monarchy with one vote. If our appeal court judges declared...
...black and white extremes. In next month's general election, Huggins is virtually certain to be confirmed as the first Prime Minister, but his United Party, which is almost exclusively British, faces powerful opposition from 69,000 Boers, most of them followers of South Africa's Daniel Malan. The Boers, mostly farmer-immigrants and copper miners, joined with a group of British blimps to form the Confederate Party. They oppose Huggins' gradualist policy of black-white partnership with the drastic simplicity of apartheid (racial segregation...
