House of Assembly: Vol49 - SATURDAY 13 MAY 1944
Mr. BOWKER, as Chairman, brought up the Third Report of the Select Committee on Pensions.
Report to be considered in Committee of the Whole House on 15th May.
I move—
I am sure that it is the feeling of hon. members of this House that we should not sit on Ascension Day. This motion will give effect to that.
I second.
Motion put and agreed to.
I move—
This motion is practically the same as the one which is usually passed in the course of every session of Parliament. In the majority of cases, however, it is passed at an earlier stage of the session. Last year we did not pass a motion of this kind in view of the fact that there was a blackout at the time which made it impossible, or, at any rate, undesirable for us to sit in the evening. But last year the guillotine was applied to the debate on the Committee of Supply, which is not the case this year. The Government felt, especially since we have a new Parliament this year, that we did not want to curtail the discussions and for that reason we did not apply the guillotine this session to the debate on the Committee of Supply. But in view of that we feel that it has now become desirable to move a motion of this kind at this stage. That will mean that there will be no automatic suspension of business at 6.45 p.m. but that a motion to adjourn the House will have to be accepted. It does not mean, of course, that we will necessarily sit after that time. In the majority of cases we shall adjourn at approximately the same hour as we have done hitherto. But what we really contemplate is this. It frequently happens, as a result of the automatic adjournment, that a stage is reached when a certain matter, which has been discussed very fully, would be disposed of within five or ten minutes, but then the automatic adjournment takes place. The debate is resumed the next day and it may last for two or three or four hours. A great deal of time is consequently lost. That has happened on three occasions during this week. During the last four or five days it happened on three occasions that the last speaker was addressing the House when the automatic adjournment took place and a good deal of time was again devoted to the subject the following day. Even after the acceptance of this motion, we will adjourn at 6.45 p.m. occasionally, perhaps even before that time. In the majority of cases it will not mean that we shall sit longer or much longer. There will perhaps be days when we may sit longer, but I should like to give the House the assurance that the Government will act reasonably in applying this power for which we are now asking. We will always act in consultation and, as far as practicable, in agreement with the Opposition in connection with the question of adjournment. I have tried, ever since I have been charged with the arrangement of the business of the House, to co-operate with the Opposition, and with a great measure of success. I feel that as far as the remaining business of the House is concerned, until the end of the session, it will be possible for that same spirit of co-operation to continue. I hope we shall succeed in that respect. Hon. members will notice that this motion, if accepted, will come into operation on Monday. It will not therefore be applicable today. I hope the House will be grateful for that concession. I move accordingly.
I second.
If this motion is passed, I hope the Minister will keep his word. At the same time, I want to say that we as an Opposition object to the manner in which members are burdened with long session hours towards the end of the session. There is not the slightest doubt that if is becoming a habit to tax members towards the end of the session with such a volume of business that it becomes impossible for the ordinary member to give proper attention to the business which becomes before the House. The result is that it really becomes a farce. Towards the end of the session one Bill after another is rushed through the House at such a speed—I repeat it—that no member is able to give proper attention or study to the business of the House. Since we contend on both sides that we are in favour of a democratic system of Government, that we are fighting for the existence of a parliamentary system of Government, it is the duty of both sides of the House to see to it that we do not make a farce of the parliamentary system. I say emphatically that the volume of business towards the end of the session really makes a farce of the democratic system and the parliamentary system of Government, as a result of doing things in this way. I therefore want to protest on behalf of this side of the House. As this motion reads, we shall have to sit in the morning, in the afternoon and, if necessary, in the evening as well. Can any member, especially after the strenuous few months which we have already had, pay proper attention to the business before the House if he has to attend from 10.15 in the morning until late at night, perhaps until midnight? It is altogether impcssible. Then I want to put this further question. What necessity is there for the House to finish on a specified date, the 27th or the 29th, for example? If the business of the country makes it necessary, why should we not sit an extra few days?
You had a rest for three weeks, did you not?
No, the hon. member will have to admit that I did very good and important work, in the interests of the country. We want to protest against this. This is not the way in which things should be done under a democratic system. The Minister has now promised that we will only sit later than 7 o’clock in exceptional circumstances. I take it the Minister will keep that promise. I do not want to threaten, but I want to say that if the Minister compels us to sit late, evening after evening, he must not expect us to be prepared to make available facilities for the Government and to co-operate as we would have been prepartd to do otherwise. If the Minister by a process of exhaustion wants to accomplish what he could not otherwise accomplish, he can expect us on this side to oppose him tooth and nail and to make no concessions whatever. It is in the interests of the business of the House that there should be co-operation, but in that event the position of the Opposition must be taken into consideration.
In connection with the motion of the Minister of Finance, there is a certain matter on the Order Paper which I want to discuss, namely, the debate on which we were busy yesterday in connection with the second report of the Select committee on Public Accounts. The Minister will remember that this debate started at 4.30 yesterday afternoon. The hon. member for Vasco (Mr. Mushet), as chairman of this important committee, spoke and introduced the report. The hon. member for George (Mr. Werth) was the first member to speak on this side but there are other members, especially the hon. member for Fauresmith (Dr. Dönges) and I, who are also members of the Select Committee, and who also wanted to take part in the debates. What happened? After the hon. member for George had spoken, the Acting Minister of Defence got up; he did not wait until other members, especially members of the Select Committee, had expressed their views, but he got up and spoke. And then you, Mr. Speaker, asked me whether I had any objection to an extension of time being granted to the Minister. I did not object and the result was that when I rose to take part in the debate, there were only three or four minutes left. I would like to know from the Acting Prime Minister what the Government’s intention is in connection with this important report of the Select Committee on Public Accounts. Yesterday we had a very unsatisfactory debate. I repeat that the Minister rose and immediately took part in the debate with the result that we did not get an opportunity to continue the debate. When the debate was adjourned, it was asked when it would be resumed, and the reply was that it was being adjourned until today. We came this morning to carry on this debate, but to our surprise we now find that it appears practically at the bottom of the Order Paper and the only inference we can draw from that is that this report will not again come up for discussion. I want to remind the hon. Minister of the debate which took place at the beginning of this Session. I think the hon. member for Pretoria (Sunnyside) (Mr. Pocock) raised this matter. A lively debate took place in regard to the importance of the work of the Select Committee. Both sides pointed out its importance. Millions of pounds are involved and we were hot given ah opportunity to have a full discussion on this matter. The Minister made a statement this morning which is perhaps Indicative of his state of mind. He said that it sometimes happes towards the end of the afternoon that a debate is almost finished, and that it is then often desirable to carry on with it for a time in order to finish it. For that reason the automatic adjournment is now being done away with. But what are we to think after the speech which we heard yesterday from the. Acting Minister of Defence? It was clear that he knew nothing about the matter; he read out passages which had been written out for him by the Under secretary for Defence. This debate was left in an extremely unsatisfactory state, and we were not given an opportunity to take part in the discussions. The report of the Select Committee is a report to this House. It is the most important Select Committee of the House. This report deals with the war expenditure account in which millions óf pounds are involved, and in view of the importance of this matter, we want to ask the Minister whether he will afford us an opportunity of discussing it further. Then there is another matter. There are still 31 items on the Order Paper. Will the Minister be good enough to give us an indication as to what work the Government proposes to proceed with?
I hope that the Minister will take into favourable consideration the request made by the hon. member for Beaufort West (Mr. Louw). I want to associate myself with that, because the Public Accounts Committee is today being regarded, and I think rightly so, as the most efficient means of Parliamentary control in connection with Government work. It devotes a considerable amount of time and energy under the able chairmanship of the hon. member for Vasco. (Mr. Mushet) to the examination of various problems and has created what has been referred to as a public accounts complex in the heads of the departments and officials. As a result of the work of that committee they feel that they probably have to pay much more attention to the work than otherwise would be the case. I think I can say without exaggeration that discussion of this report is more important than of some of the Bills at present on the Order Paper. Members of the committee who have had the opportunity of listening to the evidence and examing it, have not had the opportunity, with the exception of the chairman and the hon. member for George (Mr. Werth) of touching upon some of the very important matters which have cropped up as a result of those investigations. Under the circumstances I feel that the Minister might consider the desirability of giving at least a certain amount of time to the further consideration of that report.
On behalf of those who wish to expedite the closing of the session, may I say, Sir, that we welcome the dinnerless day which the Minister has announced. If we were obliged to work on shorter commons we should be quite content although we might arrive at our homes in an emaciated condition. I hope the Minister will stand firm in regard to the end of the session. We have other onerous work to do on behalf of the Government and on our own behalf, and we hope that nothing will stand in the way of bringing the session to a speedy conclusion.
There are just one or two points which I want to bring to the notice of the Minister, and that is in connection with the staff, not only in connection with the business of the House, but especially as far as the catering service is concerned. We know that the hour of adjournment was fixed for 6.45 p.m. in order to give members an opportunity to have their meals at their hotels and boarding-houses; but if we do not go home at that hour, other arrangements will have to be made and members will have to be provided with meals in the Parliamentary restaurant. It is therefore absolutely essential that the Minister, if at all possible, should let us know well in advance whether any particular debate has to be finished, so that we can make arrangements accordingly. Then just one further point. There are two public holidays, namely the 24th and the 31st May, apart from Ascension Day. We hope to finish before the 31st May, but is it the intention to sit on the 24th May and also on the 31st May if we are still here?
In the first place I just want to say that we will sit on the 24th May, and, if necessary, on the 31st May. In the past we have always sat on these days when the House was still in session. In all probability therefore we shall sit on the 24th May, but I hope the session will be concluded before the 31st May, otherwise we shall have to sit on that day as well. I just want to give the House the assurance once again that the acceptance of this motion, in the majority of cases, will not mean that we shall sit later than 7 o’clock. In the majority of cases the hour of adjournment will be practically the same as today— round about the same time. If we do have to sit later, we shall act in consultation and, as far as possible in agreement with the Opposition. In other words, notice will be given. I hope that we shall always come to an agreement, but even if we cannot agree, hon. members will know in advance that in all probability we shall have to sit later on the day in question. The hon. member for Waterberg (Mr. J. G. Strydom) need not be afraid of our sitting late repeatedly with a view to exhausting members. One of the factors which we have to take into account is the restriction of transport facilities as from 10 o’clock. We must take that into account and we shall be reasonable ; and I hope the Opposition will always feel that we are being reasonable; in other words, that our respective views of what is reasonable and what is not reasonable will be the same. There is only one other point which was mentioned by the hon. member for Waterberg. The hon. member spoke of the rush which took place towards the end of sessions in connection with the legislation before the House. I think the hon. member will admit that there has been an improvement during the past few years. There has not been the same rush with legislation as may have been the case five, six or seven years ago. In that respect there has been an improvement, and in the future there may even be further improvements. We have not had the same rush as we had years ago. I also want to point out that in normal years, towards the end of the session, we sat from 10.30 in the morning, with the ordinary midday adjournment, and then again until six o’clock; later the eleven o’clock rule was suspended and we also sat until after 11 o’clock in the evening. We shall now sit from 10.15 in the morning until approximately 6.45 in the evening, and sometimes a little longer. That does not compare unfavourably with the position in the past. The hon. member for Beaufort West (Mr. Louw) referred to the position in connection with the debate on the report of the Select Committee on Public Accounts. I acted in collaboration with the hon. member for George (Mr. Werth) and we thought two hours would be sufficient. Apparently we made a mistake. But I consulted him. In order to make it possible to get two hours for that debate, we adjourned another debate which had not been finished. I therefore kept my word as far as the hon. member is concerned. With regard to a resumption of the debate, I shall do my best, but at the moment I cannot give the assurance that it will be possible to arrange it until shortly before the end of the session. I shall try to do what I can, but I cannot make any definite promise.
But in that case we are making a farce of the committee.
With regard to the remaining business, we intend disposing of everything up to and including item 13 on today’s Order Paper. That includes the Committee reports in connection with Pensions, Irrigation and Crown Lands, as well as the legislation and other motions which appear on the Order Paper up to and including item 13. Then there are the usual motions which we have every year in connection with trade agreements, which usually do not take long to deal with.
What about item No. 15?
If the reports have been printed and are available, we may be able to make provision for that. But I doubt whether it will be possible to have the reports in time. Then there are still items on the Order Paper of Monday; there is the Railway Bill which, I think, will not occupy a great deal of time. Then there is the Nursing Bill on the Order Paper for Tuesday. We also intend continuing with that. With regard to the Bill which appears on the Order Paper for Friday, I do not think it is probable that we shall be able to go on with it this session.
Motion put and agreed to.
First Order read: Second reading, Banking Amendment Bill.
I move—
Mr. Speaker, this is a somewhat technical Bill and because of that fact I have had prepared and made available to members a white paper which sets forth the facts and the various Clauses in the Bill. On that account I can be quite brief in introducing the Bill. In 1942 we passed a Banking Act that was in the nature of pioneering legislation, we had to feel our way, we could not foresee all contingencies and we had to do the best we could at the time. Since then a good deal of information has become available which was not then at our disposal, mainly as the result of the applications which have been made for registration under the Act, and it has become clear that if the public interest is to be protected, as we desire to do, when we introduced that legislation two years ago, the law must be tightened up in certain respects. It is on that account that this Bill is being submitted now. I think I should say at the outset that we have done everything possible to discuss this Bill with interested parties. The Bill has been available for some time, it has been discussed with Banks, it has been discussed with Trust Companies, as deposit receiving institutions— my hon. friend the member for Swellendam (Mr. Warren) knows I specially arranged to give ample time for such discussions to take place and as a result substantial agreement has been reached. The Executive of the Association of Trust Companies has indicated its approval of the Bill and the Banks have either approved or have indicated that they have no objection. I think therefore that this Bill can be regarded as an agreed measure and it will probably not be necessary for much of the time of the House to be taken up in dealing with it. I only propose in introducing the Bill to refer to the effects of some of the more important amendments. One of these, and here I am referring more particularly to Clause (1) of the Bill, is this. The existing banking law provides in respect of various classes of institutions a minimum of paid up capital and unimpaired reserve funds with guarantee deposits in some cases which the institutions must hold. Of course these provisions in the existing law are to protect the deposits; it is considered that there should be a minimum of funds or assets not belonging to depositors or other creditors which should be available to meet possible losses, so that the deposits may be secure. Now the returns which have been submitted of applications for registration have shown that there is a good deal of uncertainty and variation of interpretation in regard to the meaning of terms such as this which I have used, guarantee deposits and unimpaired reserve funds, and so to clarify the position it is proposed to insert in the existing law these definitions in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 1 and also the clarificatory paragraphs in 1 (c). Then, Sir, the Banking Act in paragraph 4 (b) requires the Registrar before registering an institution to satisfy himself that the applicant is not conducting his business in an undesirable way. We feel we should prescribe in more detail what undesirable methods of conducting business are and that is done in the remaining part of Section 1. Then I come to the next important provision in this Bill and that affects Section 2 (2) of the Banking Act. That was introduced primarily for the benefit of Trust Companies which at the time of the passing of the Banking Act accepted deposits only to a limited extent. In practice we have found that the provision made by Section 2 (2) has been too wide, it applies automatically to other types of deposit-receiving institutions than those which we have in mind and covers not only the institutions which then existed, but also new ones. Moreover, Mr. Speaker, the scope of the exemptions provided for by the existing Section 2 (2) is so wide as to make it impossible to obtain the necessary information with a view to the registration of these institutions. We have therefore proposed the amendment contained in the Section referred to with a view to limiting the scope of the institutions covered by the exemption and also limiting the extent of the exemption granted to such institutions so as to cover only the irksome provisions from which they should be relieved. That of course is a provision which more particularly affects the Trust Companies and such like depositreceiving institutions and, as I have already said, the Association of Trust Companies is satisfied, after full discussion, with this proposal. Clause 3 of the Bill proposes an amendment in Section 4 of the Act which deals with procedure in regard to registration. The existing section has been found to be unduly restrictive in respect of the obtaining by the Registrar of the necessary information and this will make the clause a little bit wider. Section 4 of the Bill deals with the case of deposit-receiving institutions which are entitled to partial exemption under Section 2 (2) of the Act and which may lose the right to such exemptions as a result of increased deposits. In such a case we propose that the registration should lapse but the institution is then permitted to apply for registration on the normal basis. I think these are the main points in the Bill to which I should draw attention. As I said the Bill is of a technical nature, I hope the House will regard it as specific legislation for a necessary purpose and in view of that fact and the further fact that no objection has been raised by the bodies concerned and also that it is in the public interest that these further provisions are made, I hope the House will agree to the Bill going through as soon as possible.
For many years the Union of South Africa had no banking act apart from the Currency and Banking Act of 1920. On that account the Act of 1942 was welcomed as a start for evolving a law for sound banking in South Africa. That was an attempt to create a banking law that would at least give the assurance to investors, as well as to the commercial world, that proper banking institutions have to be developed in our country. That we should have found, within two years, that an amendment of that Act is required is not surprising, because, as is explained in the memorandum, there was little experience for the application of the Act of 1942, and as a result modifications had to be incorporated from time to time to meet the defects that were divulged. I hope that after the present legislation we shall be able to follow more or less the example of Canada as far as banking is concerned, and not to have frequent revisions of the law. In Canada it is more or less an unwritten law that banking shall be taken into review every ten years. Whether that will be practicable in South Africa we shall have to learn from the future. I want to thank the Minister and his Department for the procedure that was followed prior to the introduction of this Bill into the House, namely, that those concerned were approached over its implications, and consequently a Bill could be drafted which was generally acceptable. This will also fulfil the Minister’s hope that there should be little delay in this House as a result of that procedure, which apparently might also be followed in connection with other legislation. As the Minister has stated, the Bill is really a technical Bill, because it is in the main not exclusively an interpretation Bill. It may be maintained from the Minister’s side that the provisions of the Bill are actually found in existing legislation by implication, but the provisions in this Bill really make the position clearer. In any case, the present Bil does carify the position and facilitates the administration of the law by the Department Naturally, I am only referring to the Bill in so far as it affects the commercial banks. I do not know to what extent the presumption that it is an interpretation Bill has also relation to other institutions which are not covered by the designation of commercial banks. In so far as this Bill clarifies the interpretation of obscure terms, I welcome it. It can only lead to difficulties in the application of the Bill when interested parties and the Department differ over the meaning of the terms in the law. On that account I welcome this clarification. On the whole, where it has the effect, as has been maintained in the memorandum, of providing a means for an additional precaution to protect investments, we want to go further and congratulate the Department on the effort that has been made by the Bill in this direction. We have all noted with appreciation the efforts of the present Registrar, before he was promoted to his new post, to rouse us to the danger in reference to the requirements for the security of investors’ savings. I take the liberty, and I think it is appropriate to take the opportunity to say that the country as a whole appreciates the efforts to bring the dangers to the notice of the investor and to make the responsible bodies more prudent in reference to the work they have been doing for years, in connection with the security of investment. All efforts towards the furtherance of that objective will be welcomed by us so long as they are thoroughly practicable. In the present instance I think that though there may be some momentary doubt in reference to certain interpretations, when we study the terms in the light of the memorandum I believe that they become clear. I should like to draw the attention of the House to a few of the terms. One has already been mentioned by the Minister, and it is dealt with under sub-section (3) of Clause 1 of the Banking Bill. Mention is made there in paragraph (b) that certain deposits or liabilities of the banking institution cannot be included in the assessment of the capital of the bank for certain purposes. This has possibly the implication that it has a wider purport than was the intention. It is with appreciation that I have taken note of two points in this connection; in the first place, there is the statement in the memorandum that these requirements shall not apply in the case of commercial banks, but only to certain institutions. The statement in the memorandum reads as follows—
I accept that statement. In the second place I noted with appreciation from a statement prepared by the Registrar himself, after consultation with others, that it is not the intention to impart to it a wider significance than is laid down in the memorandum. Accordingly, I have no further objection to it. Then I turn to another aspect of the Bill which I regard as an extension of powers under Clause 3 of the Bill—Section 4 of the principal Act—where in sub-section (3) powers are granted to the Registrar to institute enquiry before acceding to a request for registration. This provision is not contained in the principal Act. It is true it is contained in Section 42 (3) Provision has already been made that when the Registrar has some doubt regarding the method of business and he wants to make an enquiry he may follow this procedure This amendment under discussion applies when an applicant makes a request for registration. I have no objection to this if it is intended in the spirit that has been explained here. When, however, this procedure is followed to pick out faults that can naturally lead to delay. With the intention referred to in front of us no objection can be raised. I should like further to direct attention to two implications in the Bill in the first place the extent of the discretionary powers of the Registrar. In the immediate past mention has frequently been made in this House of the fact that the present incumbent of another office certainly does hold our confidence, but the future is uncertain. We have no doubts in connection with the exercise of 1rs decretion bv the nresent holder of the post of Registrar of Banks but there also exists the possibility that he may be superseded, and consequently I wish to direct attention to sub-section (6 bis) of Clause 4 where the Registrar is placed in a position to interpret what is “proper” and what is not proper in connection with banking affairs. The same applies to “full provision” for proper control. I presume these are things that must be interpreted. Someone must, in the last resort, have the final say, and consequently we can have no objection to it. Of course it is expected from every Registrar that he shall use his discretionary powers in a proper way. Then I come to the last implication of the Bill, namely regarding the retrospective effect of the provisions of the law. This is a comprehensive principle, to bring amendments into the law by legislation and then to make them apply to an Act which was accepted bv the House some years ago. I take it that this retrospective effect will be applied with all propriety. Nevertheless, the contingency remains that institutions, founded long before the original Act, which have discharged their statutory functions in a proper manner as laid down in the previous Act, and which have to apply for registration within a stipulated period, are faced with the possibility of further delay seeing that we now have additional elucidation of provisions in respect of the principal Act. What I mean is this. Under the old Act the institution had to comply with certain provisions. They did this, and as a result of that they made application for registration, I do not want to make a contentious issue of the implications of the new Bill, but it may be that the new conditions which have been incorporated in the law may entail delay and discrimination. In this connection I want again to request the Minister that in the exercise of these powers by the Registrar this wider implication should be taken into consideration when the application for registration is being dealt with. During a previous debate I told the Minister that I had still only one opportunity to bring in the question of clearances, and that is under this Bill. I am not going to do it. I realise that this is a Bill over which we have agreed, and accordingly I am not going to discuss the question here. But I should again like to seize the opportunity to emphasise that in the business world, in the commercial world, the best spirit can only be created when the utmost goodwill exists between the banks; and without taking up the time of the House I want to make an appeal to the Minister fqr that smooth co-operation, and to render greater service to the commercial world by preserving that relationship in as healthy a condition as possible. For my part I undertake to do my share to facilitate matters in the best interests of the business world.
I do not want to detain the House for long, but I shall be neglecting my duty if I did not thank the Minister on behalf of the Association of the Boards of Executors for the tactful and able manner in which he acted in connection with this Bill. I also want to thank his representative for the tolerance and endurance which he displayed in connection with his negotiations with those people. I should, however, be neglecting my duty if I did not lodge my protest in connection with this Bill. The people of whom I am now speaking agreed that the Bill should be passed in this form. I should be neglecting my duty if I did not have the fact recorded that a breach of faith was actually committed by the Government in connection with the Boards of Executors of the Cape. There are six of them. When the Act of 1942 was passed I served on the Select Committee. There was considerable objection on the part of the Boards of Executors at the time against the Bill. It is not necessary to go into the reasons now. The Bill was referred to a Select Committee after the second reading, and during the sitting of the Select Committee those people came and presented their case to the committee. About six of the chambers thought that they should not come under the provisions of the Act, because the Act was passed mainly to protect the public, and because their obligations did not require legislation. There was considerable difference of opinion in regard to that, and eventually when we met one morning the law adviser of the Government, who was also present at the meetings of the committee, said that he had now met the boards and that he had arrived at a compromise with them. In other words, he made a proposal to them which they accepted, and we, as a Select Committee, were only too pleased to accept the settlement. In other words, it was an agreement that was made with those six Boards. According to subsection (2) of Section 2 those Boards were excluded from the provisions of that Act at the time. Now for one or other reason the Government comes along and they want to take away the privileges that those boards received as a result of that compromise. I can tell you that the boards concerned felt concerned about it, and that it led to a considerable amount of discussion, to get them to give up those privileges which they had. I should now like to tell the Minister why it happened, and I should like to have it recorded in case the privileges that are now being given to them are perhaps taken away from them at some future date. They felt that they were powerless. If the Government wanted to do something they could have done it. They had a majority behind them, and the boards felt that their position might have been very much worse than it was. They were therefore prepared to negotiate. At the negotiations they agreed to forego the privileges which they had if certain other privileges were granted to them. You will see that they are now registered, but they are not subject to certain provisions of the Act of 1942. I should like the Minister to understand what the position was. They consider that a breach of faith was committed on the part of the Government, because an agreement was made which was not fulfilled. The Minister says they did not understand the implications of that agreement, and it is the case now that other Chambers under similar circumstances can also be exempted. If that was the position, why did he not then exempt the six boards from these obligations, and any other boards which would have come under it with whom the arrangement was not made? Why should he not have excluded those boards and brought them under the Act, and left the six boards with whom the agreement was made, where they were? He could have protected himself in that manner. It was not done. They now fall under the provisions of this Bill, and certain privileges are being given to them. Those privileges will naturally be given to other boards that may be established subsequently. Will they not come along at a later stage again and say we know the six boards are absolutely sound, and that it is not necessary to have all these provisions in connection with the boards, but there are other boards which fall under it, and it is necessary that they should come under the ordinary provisions of the Act, and that the privileges of the six boards will then not be taken away? That is why I felt I wanted it to be recorded. The Minister was not present at the proceedings of the Select Committee, but the representative of the Government, I think it was the law adviser, met those people outside the committee room and arrived at a settlement with them, and it was also proposed in the Select Committee and accepted as a settlement. They accepted it as an agreement, and I hope it will be carried out. They agreed under those circumstances more out of fear that something worse would be forced upon them. I should now like the Minister to understand that those privileges should not be further curtailed. The ordinary boards fall under the Act and they raised no objection in regard to it, but I hope the Minister will understand that their privileges should not be further curtailed. The people complain that they get the impression that one cannot conduct a business but have to get other people to do it. There was a fairly strong feeling in connection with the matter, but they are now satisfied, and I hope that the Minister will take up the same attitude in regard to future legislation as he has taken up today. I think the people are entitled to reasonable treatment. They will always be agreeable if reasonable measures are taken to protect the public, and they will be prepared to co-operate in those cases.
I am very grateful to hon. members for the manner in which they received the Bill, and I should just like to say it shows that the right procedure was followed in connection with the framing of the Bill, and that in cases where consultations take place it is frequently possible to prevent great difficulties. I should like to say to the hon. member for Ceres (Dr. Stals), where he referred to the wide powers of discrimination granted to the Registrar, that he must never forget that the Registrar is under the control of the Minister. It is true that he has wide powers, but the Minister is responsible and eventually the Minister can be brought under cross-examination in this House and be held responsible. There is always that guarantee. The hon. member also stated that the principle of retrospective effect as embodied in this Bill if of a very far-reaching nature. It cannot however be avoided under the circumstances, but as I stated, the bodies concerned in the matter have agreed to the Bill. In regard to the clearing house I wanted to tell the hon. member that I will always assist as far as I can in connection with that matter, and I shall also help him as much as I can in connection with the points that he raised. The hon. member for Swellendam (Mr. S. E. Warren) spoke of six boards whose privileges would be curtailed to a certain extent as a result of the Bill. The explanation is naturally, as he knows, that we perhaps went a little further in the Act of 1942 than was actually intended, but I appreciate the willingness of the boards to agree to the Bill, and to approve of it. Especially as a result thereof, I want to give the assurance that so far as the future is concerned, we will act reasonably. The boards have met us in this case, and if need be we will also meet them in the future.

[Progress reported on 12th May, when Vote No. 32.—“Labour,” £772,000, had been put.]
May I avail myself of the half-hour rule? The labour question is, especially in the times in which we are now living, one of great importance. The world is today involved in war and during the period immediately after the war there will once again be a period of confusion as in the past, and for that reason whoever has to do with the labour question is asking: what is to become of our people? The Minister will admit that, as Minister of Labour, he is occupying a very important post, particularly in these times, and the problem as to what is to become of our people is to a large extent dependent on the success or failure of the activities of his department. When we ask ourselves this question we have to deal with various systems in connection with labour conditions which are today operative in the world. One might say that there are three world orders, three different points of view from which the labour question may be approached. The first is the point of view of the capitalist. He merely has his eye on profit-snatching. The capitalist does not ask himself in relation to the workers under him what is to become of these people, but how he can use them, or perhaps misuse them so as to derive from their labour as much as he possibly can for himself. He is simply asking how much he can get out of them for his own pocket. The second system which is likewise spread over the whole world is that of Communism. I do not expect we will have a debate on Communism today. We have already had a debate on that; but we would just like to ask in what direction Communism is seeking a solution in regard to the labour problem. Communism stands for the principle of the dictatorship of the proletariat. It requires the obliteration of all other dividing lines and a united front of all workers, irrespective of their race or colour or nationality or whatever the case may be. They are to be united into one world organisation, into one great unit, with the power in the hands of the dictatorship of the proletariat. Communism is a dictatorship which enforces the will of the workers on the rest of the population, whether it is in the Interests of the whole population or not. In our country we are also hearing about communistic doctrines. We do not believe in this solution. A great philosopher has said that man should be free but that if he is so free that he interferes with the freedom of others, then it is harmful. And if the workers organise themselves into one great power and enforce their will on the rest of the population, then that also is harmful. There is a third direction and that is the direction which is advocated by this side of the House, viz., that of nationalism, and it is based on the principle that we, as a collective entity in South Africa, should have such a thing as love for our own people, love for our own fatherland and the community, love for what is our own. And when I proceed from that point of view, from the point of view of love for my people and my national heritage, and I arrive at the solution of the labour problem, then I accept the proposition that I am called upon to be my brother’s guardian. And when I am my brother’s guardian I shall attempt to handle and solve those problems in such a way as to avoid that conflict which might take place between the mutual elements and accept the responsibility that we are all jointly and severally responsible for the welfare of our people and our fatherland. In this connection I would like to touch on the wider aspects of the matter. The Nationalist Party says that we regard labour to be in the national interests. It is in the interest of the State and at the same time it is the duty of the State to provide proper facilities for labour. There is a German saying: “Arbeit macht das Leben süss” and if that is the case, then the circumstances under which the man works should be of such a nature that he feels that he is not the victim of a variety of factors but that he can rejoice in his work and can take pleasure in safeguarding his existence. Under these circumstances we have adopted the principle in South Africa that the State is responsible—and the Minister himself knows that we have passed legislation during this session whereby the State is in increasing measure assuming the responsibility of providing work for that section of the people which is dependent on employment for its existence. Perhaps that is the position in the world in general today as part of the new order of social security to which we are looking forward, that the State is to an increasing extent becoming the responsible body for ensuring the welfare of the people and for providing work for those who have to work in order to exist. Where the State is more and more assuming responsibility in providing employment, it is also essential that the State should have more control over the provision of employment. The attitude adopted by this side of the House is that, in order to make that control more effective we should have a central economic board for the whole country and subsidiary boards constituted for the particular branches, in this case a general labour board. The function of this body would be to advise people; and this principle has likewise been adopted by the Minister in legislation which has been adopted this session. This board would keep in touch with employers and employees, with the whole of the people and all the interests concerned. A board of that nature would be able to effect a broad solution of the labour problems. Where you have State responsibility you should also have State control. Now, I must frankly confess that in view of the circumstances I am not as fully informed on employees’ organisations as the Minister is likely to be, but I am discussing this matter with him in a very serious spirit. I want to tell him that, as I see the position, in looking at this state of affairs we have here, it appears to me that more and more influences are creeping into the employees’ organisations and that they are not primarily designed to make of them bodies exclusively devoted to the protection of the interests of employees, but that the movement is to an increasing extent adopting the policy of indoctrinating the employees’ organisations with certain foreign doctrines and that they are out to convert these employees’ organisations and bodies into institutions through which they can realise their own political object. They are out to convert these employees’ organisations into instruments in the hands of people who would put them to wrong use, and it is being abused to such an extent that it must necessarily sooner or later lead to conflicts. I want to put it very clearly to the Minister that, as I see the position, there are two principles in vogue as regards these workers’ organisations. I take it that one of those maxims or principles is the closed shop principle. In simple language, what I understand by closed shop is that an organisation of workers, say the Garment Workers’ Union, has control over all the workers who are affiliated in the clothing: industry. The State recognises trade unions: and if the State recognises trade unions, then they have control over the people who join up with them. But now they possess this particular power that they can include or exclude whomsoever they wish. A person who has been taken up in their ranks can be employed in that particular industry. If, however, that person is excluded, he immediately loses his work. I think I am correctly interpreting the principle. That is the position today; and now the organisation is of such a nature that the organisation is itself under the control of an executive committee. In the last resort you are placing the interests of those people in the hands of an executive committee and the executive committee can decide whether a person is to be admitted to the trade union or to be excluded therefrom. It is true that an appeal lies to the general meeting, but a general meeting is an unwieldy body which can very often be manipulated, and it is not a body which is suitable as a court of appeal in such cases. This principle of closed shop, as applied at present, can be a very dangerous principle unless proper control is kept over it, and we ask the hon. Minister, now that the State is recognising trade unions and is granting them extraordinary powers to include or to exclude persons, whether the time has not arrived that the State which allows them that responsibility should not also exercise a measure of control over them. I commend it to the consideration of the Minister. Secondly, we have the principle of collective bargaining. Perhaps the Minister knows more about that than I do, but what I would like to ask him is whether he is satisfied that this principle of collective bargaining is as effective as it was intended to be, and whether it is not perhaps necessary to review that principle as far as it affects the State and to supplement it with State responsibility. While I am busy dealing with this issue and giving a general outline of the attitude adopted by this side of the House, of the angle from which we view these matters, I would, for the sake of greater clarity, direct the attention of the House to certain specific matters. In the first place I would refer the Minister to the trouble which arose some time ago on the Rand and which has already been under discussion in this House, viz., the trouble in the Garment Workers’ Union. I do not want to bring up all the details of this question again at this stage, but matters have developed to such an extent in that trade union that even at this stage the matter has not been entirely solved. The Minister is aware of that. On the contrary, this matter is so far from a solution that today it is in the hands of a broadly representative church committee which has been appointed by the churches on the Rand and which is bringing it to the general notice of the public, and I would very much like to know from the Minister what his attitude is in regard to this joint church committee. I want to put a few questions to him in connection with this matter. When the trouble arose at Germiston, and when the meeting took place at Johannesburg, the Minister left here and was somewhere in Johannesburg or in Pretoria. I am informed that an attempt was made by the church committee to interview him and that they did not succeed in having that interview. It is also a fact, and the Minister is probably aware of it, that a representation from the joint church commission had an interview with the Acting Prime Minister last week in connection with this matter, and that they also submitted a memorandum to him. I think it would be very necessary for the Minister to give us the assurance that after this session of Parliament has come to a close he will get into touch with that committee so that he can find out what they want. He will then be in a position to know what it involves and he can then do the best he can to have those grievances removed. Now I just want to say a few words about what the church committee is requesting. The trouble which is still in existence there results from the suspension of two ladies, viz., Mrs. Nel and Mrs. Moll. The broad church committee is acting in their interests because, as far as the church is concerned, it is a question of principle. The church is of the opinion that influences are at work in the Garment Workers’ Union which bode ill for the future. They were approached by members of the Garment Workers’ Union for protection, and the broad church commission says they complied with the request of these people to interfere in the matter, because they are verily seeking a solution which will obviate conflicts in the future. What is this committee asking? They are asking in the first place that the closed shop principle should temporarily be suspended until such time as the specific troubles which arose at Germiston are solved, and it appears that it would not be possible to solve those problems as long as you have the closed shop principle. Can it not be suspended temporarily so as to reduce the trouble to its starting point and then solve it? It seems as though it cannot be done without resorting to that. The church committee is asking, inter alia, that the two ladies, Mrs. Nel and Mrs. Moll, should be reinstated in their employment. The church committee realises that the issue at stake is the manner in which things are being conducted in these trade unions, and particularly in this trade union. The church committee is of opinion that if these trade unions are being employed to watch over the welfare of the workers, that these trade unions should then be organised on the basis of recognition of the membership of the trade unions and that the election of the general secretary and of the executive committee should be conducted on the basis of elections as they are being conducted in our country and as they should be conducted—that is to say, it should be done by means of secret ballot. The church committee is of opinion that abuses are creeping into these elections and that a proper control is not being exercised. I already said at the start that the State should interfere and should ensure that the necessary control is exercised, and if that is not done there will be trouble. Thousands of pounds are, of course, collected by these trade unions in the form of subscriptions. The question now being asked by those people who come into contact with the trade unions and who take an interest in them, is for what purpose are the funds being utilised. These subscriptions are paid by people who belong to South African trade unions and who are employed in South African industries. The question is now being put whether those funds are all being utilised within South Africa in the interests of our own sons and daughters. Are sums and sums of that money not going to find its way to the offices of Moscow in the pockets of Communists? The question is whether there is such a measure of control over those finances that the Minister can sincerely declare that every penny which is paid by the people is spent in South Africa in the interests of those workers. But the church is particularly concerned about this position, especially because the church is of the opinion that Communism in South Africa is abusing those trade unions, that they are using those trade unions to entrench themselves there, and are using them to spread Communism in the country, and for that reason the church took action in this connection and passed strong resolutions. I want to refer to a big mass-meeting which was held on the 25th March. 1944. At that mass-meeting, which was presided over by the Rev. Nicol and was supported by church bodies of the Rand and the Transvaal, the point of view of the Government with regard to that problem was clearly outlined, and at that meeting it was resolved inter alia—
The resolutions are in the form of a polite request, and the resolutions are to request that the following be done—
And that Commission of Enquiry must especially be charged with the following—
We know that it is one of the methods of Communism, when it has no other choice and when it seeks extension over the world, to assume a strange outward appearance. They appear when necessary in the form of an angel of light if they have no other choice. Here a practically new political party has been established. What is the Socialist Party? The name is the Socialist Party but the nature of it is out and out Communism which is championed by it and at which it aims, and it is because Communism catches on so and desires to use the trade unions for its own purposes that the church takes an interest in it. That is why this mass meeting under the control and presidency of the church now asks that enquiry should be conducted into the activities of the central committee of the Garment Workers’ Union and the establishment of the Socialist Party. Further that meeting requests that the possible wage exemption of workers in the factories be enquired into. This mass meeting further resolved to address the request to the factory owners of the Transvaal—
It was a large meeting and the meeting expresses the same doubt which I expressed this morning.
Will you please repeat it?
It reads as follows—
I think that what appears from this resolution here is this, that the people are in doubt, that the people are not certain. Has that application a sound and correct effect or not? I do not now want to go into it further. I may perhaps return to it later again, what the further resolutions of this meeting were. But all the same I wish in conclusion just to say a thing or two about the nature and the extent of the struggle which is now in progress, that struggle in which the church has interfered at the request of its own members. I have here in my hand an appeal from the church in regard to this matter, an appeal to collect funds in connection with the struggle which the church has now entered into, and this appeal reads as follows—
It is an appeal to the whole nation and to the churches, and their objection is this—
In this appeal the church states the following, inter alia—
This is a very far-reaching resolution, if the church labels that matter as so dangerous, and they now come along with an appeal and declare: “Unless that flood is checked, the European civilisation will be in danger and the Protestant Christendom will be in danger.” In view of this appeal it is at least necessary that the Minister will devote attention to this matter, that he will establish contact with that Church Committee, that he will at least come to know their objections, their grievances, what policy they advocate. He will then have to give a decision which will find a solution before you have conflicts in the country. This appeal goes further and declares that it should be the task of all church bodies, of all who are interested in the survival of our national Christian civilisation, to assist our mothers and daughters who are placed on the same level as non-Europeans in the factory, in their struggle to retain the colour bar and in their distress, to prevent the continuance of these circumstances which cannot fail to result in chaos. They go further in this appeal and declare in the following paragraph—
Here they make a very serious accusation. They say that in the operation of that Garment Workers’ Union there is now a spirit abroad to remove the colour bar, to establish equality between European and non-European, and they say the agitation is so strong that action should be taken on the part of the church. They say that the church bodies declare that policy of equality to be decidedly contrary to the principles of the church and to be decidedly contrary to the principles as embodied in the Word of God. That is how they put it. If you come into contact with the point of view of the church with regard to the matter as he puts it here, then it is very clear to you that the church is determined to contribute its share to prevent that those influences will find their way into the ranks of that church, which will aim at shaking that church to its very foundations, undermining it, and endangering its future. Where this is the position, I want to ask the hon. Minister to take the necessary steps to establish that contact. I do not know i what the reason is why he did not want to or could not meet that committee. [Time limit.]
May I avail myself of the half hour rule? The first matter which I wish to bring to the Minister’s notice is a case which I have put to him in the past, and in respect of which I am not yet satisfied that a certain big financial concern is not using its position to defy the provisions of a wage determination. If the Minister can satisfy me as to that position, I shall be glad.
I’m afraid I don’t understand.
I shall deal with the case in detail. What I was saying is that if the Minister can satisfy me that what I’m going to put before him is not the case, I shall be glad. In 1942, a wage board investigation was undertaken in Kimberley for the unskilled workers in a number of industries, and at that time De Beers Company was conducting, apparently, certain engineering works in Kimberley, and the general manager of De Beers gave evidence before the Wage Board. Acting on information which I received as to the proceedings at the Wage Board enquiry, I put the following question to the Minister on the 27th March, 1942—
- (1) Whether a statement was made by the general manager of De Beers Company before the Wage Board in Kimberley on 13th March, to the effect that, should a determination be imposed now, the company would possibly apply to the Government to take over the war work it was now doing; and, if so,
- (2) whether the Minister will give the assurance that this statement will in no way influence the Wage Board in recommending, or himself in making, a determination affecting the unskilled workers employed by De Beers Company.
And the Minister’s reply was—
- (1) I have received the following information from the chairman of the Wage Board: “At the public sitting the representative of De Beers stated that, although his company was actually engaged in engineering work, they still regarded themselves as being in the mining industry, adding that originally they hád intended to close down the engineering works, but continued the works for the war effort at the request of the Government. He stated that the company was particularly perturbed at the repercussions that 14 days’ leave and other conditions would have on the mining employees when they returned to normal times, and the company would be compelled to consider closing down the engineering works if the proposed determination were applied to it. During the discussions on wages, De Beers’ representative stated that he was not making any suggestions, but that his company was prepared to pay whatever wage was laid down if it was considered that its engineering works were covered by the terms of reference.”
- (2) I can assure the hon. member that neither the Wage Board nor myself are influenced by threats, and that all such matters are considered strictly impartially and in accordance with the law.
Well, now, that was the position which the general manager of De Beers admitted at the Wage Board Enquiry, namely, that his company was carrying on engineering works. I am not concerned whether it was at the request of the Government for Defence purposes. I suggest that that had nothing to do with whether the Wage Board determination was applicable to certain industries. Subsequent to this enquiry the determination was gazetted, Determination No. 104, and later on I received complaints from Kimberley on behalf of native workers in the engineering works, that the minimum wages laid down by the determination were not being applied to them. The following Session on the 5th March, 1943, I put this question to the Minister of Labour—
- (1) Whether the De Beers Company conducts any operations within the magisterial district of Kimberley which fall within the scope of the trades to which Wage Determination No. 104 applies; if so what operations;
- (2) Whether the company made application for exemptions from the provisions of Wage Determination No. 104 in respect of any of such operations; if so in respest of which operation; and
- (3) What was his decision in respect of such applications.
The reply given me by the Minister was—
- (1) According to Wage Board Report No. 590 De Beers Consolidated Mines, Ltd., were at the time of the Wage Board investigation, conducting an engineering works which fell within the scope of the investigation. I am making enquiries in regard to the present position in this respect.
- (2) No.
- (3) Falls away.
So there, Mr. Chairman, the position is established that the Wage Board Determination was held by the Department of Labour to apply to engineering works conducted by De Beefs at Kimberley. That, I think, should have boiled down to a question of facts as to whether De Beers was still conducting an engineering works there, and secondly, if they were, whether they were observing the terms of the Wage Board Determination. As a result of my enquiries I later wrote to the Minister, and on the 10th August, 1943, I received the following reply from the Secrëtary for Labour—
On the 16th August I thanked the Secretary for Labour for that reply, and I asked him to let me have the result of his enquiries as soon as possible. Apparently then the engineering industry was still being carried on there, and the Department of Defence was being communicated with. On the 25th January, this year, I asked the Minister—
- (1) Whether De Beers Company is observing the provisions of Wage Determination No. 104 in relation to the unskilled workers employed in the engineering workshops conducted by that company at Kimberley; if not,
- (2) What provisions of the Wage Determination are they failing to observe;
- (3) Whether any application has been made by De Beers Company for exemption from the provisions of the Wage Determination. If so, when was such application made and what was his decision thereon; if not, whether he has taken action to enforce the law; and, if not, (4) What action does he propose to take and when.
To that the Minister replied—
- (1) No. Wage Determination No. 104 does not apply to the mining industry.
- (2), (3) and (4) Fall away.
But the Minister has stated in reply to the previous question I had asked, that quite apart from mining operations De Beers was carrying on an engineering works which came within the scope of Wage Determination No. 104. I therefore asked the following question on the 11th February of this year—
- (1) Whether according to Wage Board Report No. 590 De Beers Company were at the time of the Wage Board investigation conducting an engineering works in Kimberley that fell within the scope of the investigation; …
There I quoted the actual words from the reply of the Chairman of the Wage Board which was given to me by the Minister in reply to my question the previous year—
- (2) Whether the company is still conducting such engineering works; if not,
- (3) When did the company discontinue conducting such engineering works;
- (4) Whether any of the industries, including the reference to the Wage Board upon which Wage Board Report No. 590 was based, were excluded from the scope of Wage Determination No. 104; and, if so,
- (5) What industries were so excluded.
The reply of the Minister of Labour was—
- (1) According to Wage Board Report No. 590 a representative of De Beers Consolidated Mines, Limited, protested against the inclusion of his company’s operations in the investigation. There is no indication that the Wage Board was satisfied that the activities of the company fell within the scope of the reference, which did not include the mining industry.
There is no indication that the Wage Board was satisfied that De Beers fell within the scope of the investigation that did not include the mining industry. But the statement of the Chairman of the Wage Board which was quoted in the Minister’s reply had said most specifically—I do not want to quote that again—that the engineering works conducted by De Beers did fall within the scope of the investigation. The Minister will appreciate my difficulty; I have to give an answer to these men. They claim, and I submit they have a reasonable claim, on the reply I got to my question in 1943, that they fall within the scope of Wage Determination No. 104. The wages laid down by the Determination are not very high; the wages are, I think, only about 25s. or 26s. a week plus cost of living allowance. Provision is made for extra rates for overtime. Fourteen days paid leave during the year is provided for—which that poverty stricken company De Beers says it cannot afford to pay its workers. I have quoted nothing but what I have been given by the Minister or his Department. I do submit that I must have some explanation to give these men. I was first told that the engineering works did fall within the scope of that Wage Determination. Subsequently the Minister said it does not apply to the mining industry, but I was not asking about the mining industry but about the engineering works conducted by De Beers at Kimberley; and I submit that on the statement of the chairman of the Wage Board that De Beers are bound by this wage determination as far as their engineering works are concerned, these men are owed back pay, and back pay in respect also of leave, and that the department should secure that De Beers observes this determination in future. In any event, I want to ask the Minister by what sort of right and privilege the mining industry always claims exemption from the industrial laws of the country. I am speaking particularly of the diamond mining industry. There has been an enquiry into the condition of unskilled workers in the gold mining industry, and certain recommendations have been put into effect. Those recommendations were inadequate, in my opinion, and the improvements that were made as a result of that report were also inadequate. But I do not want to deal with that particular matter now but with the diamond mining industry which has started up again. For some years the mines at Kimberley were not functioning, but I am told now that De Beers has started diamond mining again; and if De Beers say that it is not possible to draw a distinction between unskilled workers on the mines and those engaged in other industries there, conducted by that company, then I ask for a wage board investigation into the diamond mining industry. There seems to be a popular misconception that the mines are exempt from the industrial laws of this country. They are not exempted. The Wage Act applies to all classes of labour on the diamond mines as much as in any other industry. That, at all events, is my reading of the Wage Act, and if I am wrong in that particular respect I would be obliged to the Minister if he would draw my attention to any particular sections of the Act which exempt the mining industry, particularly the diamond mines, from the operation of the Wage Act. These men get 21s. a week plus cost of living allowance. They get free quarters but not free food, as they do on the gold mines. Moreover, they have to sign contracts locking themselves up for four months. They may not go out of the compound, and before they are allowed out, when their contracts are up, they have to go through a most unsavoury process of purging to see whether they have swallowed any diamonds. I do not want to go into details of that now, but on another occasion I may have to. I am in a position to say what exactly the processes are. I have asked De Beers whether they think it is necessary to have this purging and whether they will not use the X-ray. They won’t do that, but they go in for this most unsavoury process for finding out whether the workers have swallowed any diamonds. These are a most deserving class of workers, these unskilled workers on the diamond mines. They have to work under conditions that attentuate their freedom more than is done in any other industry. We know that under the capitalist system no workers are really free, but these men are particularly unfree. I do ask for a Wage Board investigation into the diamond mining industry, and more particularly De Beers. I am not thinking of the small diggers but of the big companies that operate, and it is there that an investigation is required. Another point I want to raise with the Minister is the way in which the regulations laid down under War Measure No. 145 of 1942 are applied. I am not dealing now with the case of the V.F.P. Company. The Minister has had that put fully to him in another place, and I may have occasion to do that myself at a later stage, but at the present moment I have a particular difficulty in connection with War Measure No. 145 of 1942, as to when workers are entitled to arbitration. Some municipal employees of a small Town Council, the Douglas Town Council, are paid at the rate of 17s. a week, and they made representations to the Council asking for in increase in wages. As is usual with employers—which the Minister as a trade unionist will appreciate—the application was refused. I advised them to apply to the Minister’s Department to have the point in dispute referred to arbitration. If that had been granted it would merely have been a case of the Divisional Inspector of Labour from Kimberley going there and arbitrating between these men and the Town Council. However, the arbitration was refused, and I therefore wrote to the Minister’s Department to ask why arbitration could not be applied to this dispute. The reply I got raises an important question of principle. The reply from the Secretary for Labour was as follows—
My point is this. The Department’s attitude was that “there was no suggestion of a stoppage of work.” Under that same War Measure, if there is a stoppage of work, that is a criminal offence for which the employees can be sent to gaol for three years. So I can only read this letter in one way. There is only a dispute under their interpretation of War Measure 145, when there is a stoppage of work or the threat of it, but in the case of native workers that involves a threat of illegality, carrying to those who bring such threats into effect, very heavy penalties. I put it to the Minister that that was not what was intended when the War Measure was drafted. A dispute surely is where you have a representative number or a majority of the workers in a particular undertaking or trade who have formulated certain demands to their employer, and the employer has either refused to meet the demands or has met them to an extent that does not satisfy the workers. Surely it is not necessary for the workers to go further and threaten to strike because whether they fall within the terms of War Measure 9 of 1942 or 145 of 1942, strike action is illegal and involves a penalty of three years’ hard labour. Another matter on which I wish to ask the Minister a question is this. My information is that when native workers approach the Department on a question of underpayment or a like matter the Departmental officials demand the production of the native’s poll tax receipt before they will investigate the complaint. I can only say that that is my information, and I hope it is incorrect, but if it is correct, I do submit to the Minister that it is not a good practice, and it is a new one—at least I have never heard of it before. The native workers regard the Department of Labour as their protector against unlawful exploitation, but this practice seems to indicate that the Department is being used in order to assist the Native Affairs Department to collect revenue, and I am quite certain that the Minister would never allow his Department to be used by Inland Revenue officials or the Provincial Administrations to collect taxes from workers of other races. The demanding of this poll tax receipt may be sought to be justified as being necessary to identify the man, but that cannot be necessary in this particular instance because the employer himself does not necessarily know his employee’s poll tax number. The worker ought to have an opportunity of identifying himself by any means he likes. I do ask the Minister to put an end to this practice. The Department has always protected the native workers’ interests, and, as a matter of fact, has assisted in collecting thousands of pounds of back pay for native workers. The Department has a good record in this respect, and the native worker who comes with a complaint has no motive whatever in covering up his identity. I also want to ask the Minister whether there is any possibility of a national wage investigation into the quarrying and brick-making industry. At the present time the quarry workers and the brick-field workers in Durban and Johannesburg are covered by the general Wage Determinations for unskilled workers operative in these places. Here in the Cape both these industries have a Wage Determination brought into force in 1938 laying down a minimum wage far below the general level in the Cape, being as low as 24s. a week. They asked the Minister for an arbitrator under War Measure 145 and they got it and Mr. Foley made an award for the Cape and the nearer portion of the Western Province laying down a higher minimum for workers in these quarries and brick-fields than that laid down in the Wage Determination. That award was not very comprehensive and was limited to Cape Town and Bellville. It is therefore not operative outside and judging by the attitude of employers they will go back to the old rate of pay if they can. The Wage Determinations operative in the quarries and brick-fields in Durban and Johannesburg are very low indeed and the unregistered Unions in all three centres of Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban, have applied for a national investigation. I hope the Minister will see his way to grant that request. On a more general matter, Mr. Chairman, I want to say that I know the Minister has given instructions to the Wage Board, so far as he can instruct a body of that character, that he wants them to work towards a minimum unskilled wage of 10s. a day. I know that we are still a long way off that but pending the arrival of that day I feel that a real effort should be made to level up the general rates of unskilled wages. The general Wage Determination for Cape Town lays down a minimum wage of from 35s. to 45s. a week, and the general unskilled wage rate, excluding cost of living allowance, in the Cape Peninsula is about 40s. a week, but in places like Johannesburg, with the exception of the Commercial Distributive Trade, the minimum wage is only 27s. 8d. a week and in some parts of the Rand is as low as 26s.
I want to discuss briefly the policy pursued by the Minister of Labour at present in connection with the application of the Wage Act to a co-operative body such as the M.K.T.V. and also to other tobacco co-operative societies, because I think that it is necessary for that policy to be brought to the notice of this House. I cannot do that in a better way than by reading the following question which was put to the hon. the Minister in the other House and the reply he gave to that question. The question was as follows—
- (a) Whether he has given instructions for the Wage Board to apply the Wage Act to the “Magaliesberg Koöperatiewe Tabakplantersverehiging” at Rustenburg;
- (b) whether the Wage Board has advised him that under the Act they have no jurisdiction over the said Society; if so,
- (c) under what section of the Act he proposes to proceed against a co-operative society conducting farming operations such as the above Society.
- (d) whether his Department has formulated a definite rule for the application of the term “farming operations” as used in the Wage Act?
To all these questions the Minister’s reply was as follows—
The Wage Board reported that the legal position of the co-operatives in relation to the Wage Act did not appear to be clear.
In, consequence it was decided to endeavour to give effect to the Board’s proposals by means of a gentleman’s agreement to be subscribed to by all the societies. An agreement was drafted and the co-operative societies stated their views thereon in August, 1943.
The proposed agreement has been amended and has been referred to the parties for consideration.
According to this question and the reply to it, it is evident that the Minister of Labour has evolved a policy and is adhering to it, in terms of which the Wage Act should be applied to these tobacco co-operative societies. He instructed the Wage Board to enquire into the question of the application of this Act to the M.K.T.V., but the Wage Board reported to the Minister that the position was not quite clear; it is not certain whether the Minister has the right under the Wage Act to apply that Act to tobacco co-operations. But, in spite of that uncertainty, the Minister came along with some kind of mutual agreement which he put before the tobacco co-operations, and in which it was provided that in certain respects the Wage Act would apply to these co-operations. It amounted to this that certain rules would be adopted, and in that manner the Wage Act would be applied to these co-operations as a result of the mutual agreement. We want to tell the Minister that the tobacco farmers do not agree with this. I have said it before, and I may point out to the Minister that an organisation like the Central Association of Tobacco Growers, which comprises no less than eleven tobacco co-operations, are not in agreement with the policy pursued by the Minister. They are opposed to this step taken by the Minister in trying to apply the Wage Act to tobacco co-operations. I would like to mention to the House the reasons advanced by them, because I think that their reasons are very sound. They say, in the first instance, that the treatment of the leaf was not the work of the cooperation, in the first place. Formerly it was done by the individual farmer. The co-operation then became the service organisation of the farmer because it was in the interests of the farmer to have the work done in that manner instead of doing it himself. In other words, they do not want the Wage Act to be applied to the tobacco organisations which are the service organisations of the farmers, in the interests of the farmers, and which are doing the work previously done by the farmers themselves. We know that the Wage Act specifically excluded the farming industry from the application of that Act. At the time when the Wage Act was under consideration in this House, provision was made very definitely by means of an amendment that the Minister would not have the right to apply the Wage Act to the farming industry or any farming operations. But what is the Minister doing now by taking these steps? He is trying more or less to separate the co-operations from their members who are farmers. The farmers constitute the co-operation, and the co-operation comprises the farmers. One cannot separate the one from the other. One cannot snatch away the agricultural co-operations from the farmers and from agricultural activities; and that is why we feel that the hon. the Minister of Labour has no right to apply the Wage Act to the agricultural co-operations. In the second instance, we feel that if the Wage Act is going to be applied, as the Minister now wants to do, by means of this mutual agreement, then an increase in wages will be effected, which will mean an extra levy on the products of the farmer, and there again the farmer will be affected. I can tell you that the farmers are feeling very strongly on this matter, and they feel that you have not treated them in the right manner in this connection. In the second place, they feel that if they do accept the increase in the wages of the native labourers in terms of the proposed voluntary agreement, it would affect the wages of the native labourers on the farms. That is a very important point. If there were to be a general increase of wages it would cause dissatisfaction amongst the workers, and they would demand a higher wage. In that respect it would therefore also affect the farmers. As a result of this we feel that this is the third respect in which you do not apply the Wage Act in the right manner or in which you are interfering with the rights of the farmer in view of the fact that at the time when the Wage Act was passed they were granted exemption from it. In the fourth instance the farmers feel that they could only pay higher wages to the natives when they receive higher prices for their products. But in view of the prevailing tobacco prices it is not the right thing. I want to appeal to the Minister of Labour. We have experienced recently that he is quite obliging and accommodating.
Especially on a Saturday.
In making this appeal to the Minister, we want to assure him that we are not doing so with any ulterior motives. The tobacco co-operations feel that they are most affected by this action. The Minister is at any rate a supporter of the war policy, and with due deference I want to draw his attention to the fact that the war has not only a military front. There is also the economic front. An appeal was made to the farmers to produce as much as possible, and now you are pursuing a policy which will result in the ruination of the tobacco co-operation. It makes the farmers more or less powerless, and we want to ask the Minister, therefore, to be more accommodating in this respect. We want to ask the Minister to take these few arguments into serious consideration and to be more accommodating in this respect. You should not come along with this mutual agreement. That will merely delay matters for a time. You have had the matter investigated thoroughly. A thorough investigation was made in connection with the tobacco co-operations, and the tobacco co-operations do not see their way clear to sign this mutual agreement, and the farmers are feeling concerned about the whole matter. We want to request the Minister, therefore, to make a very clear statement of policy in this connection. The honourable the Minister of Agriculture stated in the House that as far as he was concerned, he would pursue a certain policy, that he regarded the co-operative agricultural societies as an inseparable part of the farming industry; in other words, the Department of Agriculture believes in a different policy from yours in respect of the tobacco co-operations. The object of the Wage Act is chiefly to fix the wage tariffs of factory workers. I feel that that was perhaps necessary, but these agricultural co-operations are not factories. They are part of our farming operations. The farmers are today acting collectively through the co-operation and do nothing more than the same work they used to do individually. For these reasons we request you to take these matters into review. If your are not prepared to do this we will have to ask at a later date that the Wage Act be amended in this respect so that the farmers’ co-operations may be excluded.
I think I had better intervene now because I may perhaps be able to anticipate further discussion. My friends opposite are past masters in the gentle art of soft-soaping.
In the hope of getting something out of you.
But to prove that the accusation hurled at me is not true is borne out by the very point which the last hon. member has raised, that is the question of co-operative societies. Now where processing is taking place at all, whether individually or co-operatively, there you are no longer a farmer, and there wage determinations can be made to apply. But to show my reasonableness, I want to say that in the case of the tobacco co-operative societies we are negotiating with them to see whether a gentleman’s agreement cannot be arrived at. Now, surely that is reasonable. We are not imposing anything on them. A recommendation was made by the Wage Board as to the wages to be paid. I myself have met two or three deputations of tobacco co-ops. on this question. I am assisted very greatly by the hon. member for Rustenburg (Mr. J. M. Conradie) who is at the moment one of the principals in negotiations on this point. Now is it not wise and likely to bring about good feeling if we can arrive at a decision that such and such wages shall be applied? I am anxious to get agreement, and if we can get agreement, why not? I am sure my hon. friend would willingly lend himself to keep costs down, and I am sure that he would be willing to assist us if an agreement could be arrived at. That is what I want to obtain. Again I wish to express my gratitude to the hon. member for Rustenburg for the manner in which he dealt with the matter. Now the reply which my hon. friend referred to which I gave in the Other Place thoroughly reflects the legal position. I can impose a wage determination on tobacco and other co-ops. where they are processing, but I don’t want to do it, I want to arrive at an agreement where all parties are satisfied that they are doing the right thing.
They are satisfied.
Well, if we are all satisfied, why go on? May I express my appreciation to the hon. member for Boshof (Mr. Serfontein) for the restrained way ….
Returning the bouquets.
Yes, and they are sweet-smelling too, beautiful in aroma. And despite the interruption, I shall continue to express my appreciation to the hon. member for Boshof, and I hope that if my hon. friend intervenes, he will earn my appreciation just as well. He didn’t go in for making charges. He appealed to me— and I respond immediately. I am one of these peculiar fellows. I must have a touch of the Irishman in me.
Don’t tell us too much about yourself.
If you buck up against me I retort in kind, but if you appeal to me there is no one more accommodating than I am. Now the hon. member has appealed to me over this unfortunate question in Germiston—which unfortunately appears likely to occur elsewhere—at Paarl and other places. He wants me to agree to meet all parties. After the Session I shall be very pleased to do so—I shall do so at the earliest opportunity after the Session—I I shall go into the whole matter and take into consultation all parties associated with this trouble, including the two women themselves.
And the church.
Most decidedly the church. I have already resolved on that, and my friend’s intercession has only strengthened my desire. So I hope we shall leave any further discussion on this question completely out of it so that we shall not prejudice ourselves. I give that undertaking in all good faith that I shall meet the church, the women concerned and the union, and any other union or organisation which may be interested from one angle or another. Now the hon. member for Cape Western (Mr. Molteno) raises the question of the Wage Board determination for Kimberley and he confesses himself to be in a quandary as to exactly where we stand in relationship to De Beers on this question of wage determination. I must confess that I am also in a state of mystification because at first blush it would appear that they were conducting an engineering industry.
Which they are.
Whether they are conducting an engineering concern which is separate from their mines, I don’t know, but my information from the Department is that the Department had to rule that the engineering activities carried on by De Beers were not of such a magnitude as to take them out of the mining industry. That does not say much, I must confess.
They said they were doing it for defence work.
Yes, I know that; but that is as reported to me, and I suppose legal advice was taken; I don’t know. The chairman of the Wage Board cannot, of course, say what the scope of it is; that has to be ruled by the Department. I will go more carefully into the matter, and if it is found that if we can divorce their engineering activities from their mining activities we will do it.
Could we have a wage determination?
There you come up against a brick wall at once. My hon. friend knows it. Legally I can have a wage determination tomorrow. I do not want to shelter behind a possible irregularity. Legally I can have a wage investigation tomorrow, but will that suit the country? I am afraid not. I am like the hon. gentleman. We can only kick against the pricks. The time may come, I am hoping it will, I am hoping the time is not too far distant when we can regard the mining industry as we regard every other activity as being amenable to the Labour Department’s discipline and legislation. At the moment I am afraid I have to hold up my hands in surrender. The hon. member also brought up the question of quarrying, and the brick and tile works and he wants an investigation. Just so soon as we can do it we will do it. I am afraid it is not very comforting to the hon. member; it is not even comforting to myself, because as he rightly puts it, we have different scales of pay in different parts of the country, and in the case where an arbitrator’s award was given, that award is about to expire. He has the right to ask: What are you going to do in the interim between that and when you are going to have a wage determination? I can only ask the employers to play the game, and if they do not and there is another dispute, we shall have to fall back on this long and unsatisfactory way of settling the matter, and have another arbitration. But I am determined to maintain that wage level; so if the hon. member will concede the fact that I am anxious to do it, he can rely upon my guarantee, upon my promise. With regard to Douglas, there again I must confess the position is very unsatisfactory. Under the war measure I cannot have compulsory arbitration unless there is an actual strike, or I am convinced there is about to be a strike.
Why wait for a strike?
I shall have to consider the question of amending the regulation so that I can have an enquiry if there is a dispute, provided of course it is a dispute of some importance, not just a trivial affair.
I agree; something advanced by a representative body of workers.
My friends and I are in agreement on that point, and I will consult my advisers and go into it to see if we cannot amend the regulation to embrace the situations such as my friend has referred to. I can only give effect to the last clause in the letter he quoted from my Department with reference to arbitration. The hon. member did not quote the last paragraph, which is—
Yes, there must be an emergency and there must be a threat of a strike.
Yes, that is what is envisaged; either the threat or the act of a strike enables me at once to impose arbitration.
These workers should not have to risk three years in gaol in order to have their grievances attended to.
I quite agree, and as the matter has been brought so forcibly to my notice by the hon. gentleman I will consider altering the measure to cope with that situation. I am afraid, however, I must join issue with him on the question of poll tax receipts being asked for by officials of the Department. My advice is that none of our officials ask for poll tax receipts. What they do ask for is service contracts.
That is a different matter.
Of course it is. That is a case of establishing the identity of the individual and his relationship with his employer, and it is very necessary pre-information required for making the investigation before coming to any judgment as to whether an underpayment has been made or not, with the subsequent determination to recover it if there has been underpayment. I hope that my hon. friend is satisfied with that, and that hon. members generally are satisfied. Hon. members have expressed themselves rather in that way. I myself am superlatively satisfied, and I must thank them.
You have got off lightly. You are lucky.
I am very glad that the Minister has made a statement with regard to farmers’ co-operatives this morning. But he dealt with tobacco farmers and I wish to raise the matter of the dairy co-operatives. The Minister, I am glad to see, is in a very reasonable mood this morning, and I hope that he will treat me in the same polite way as he has done other hon. members.
I shall be very pleased to do that, and more than that.
