House of Assembly: Vol56 - FRIDAY 12 APRIL 1946
London Court Proceedings against a South African Indian.
I desire, with leave, to ask the Minister of Justice:
- (1) Whether he has seen the Press report in today’s newspapers of court proceedings in London before the Lord Chief Justice in which the case of a South African Indian was dealt with;
- (2) whether the photograph of the accused now alleged to be missing was supplied by the Union Commissioner of Police from departmental records;
- (3) whether finger-print impressions of the accused were also supplied from the same source for the information of the British court;
- (4) whether such finger-print records were produced in the course of the proceedings; if not, why not;
- (5) what evidence was available as to the similarity of the finger-print records taken when the accused was under arrest in December, 1942, with records taken in London after his arrest in December, 1945;
- (6) what Police official was sent to England from South Africa in charge of the missing photograph and other papers connected with the case; and
- (7) what action does the Minister now propose to take?
- (1) and (2) Yes.
- (3) No.
- (4) and (5) Fall away.
- (6) First Class Detective Sergeant Duncker, accompanied by First Class Sergeant Cremer.
- (7) At this stage I have only the Press reports and a short cable from the High Commissioner’s Office, London, and further information will be required before any decision is taken. The whole matter is presently under consideration by the Attorney-General, Natal. I may add that the cable from the High Commissioner states that no blame attaches to any member of his office or the South African Police representatives in connection with the loss of the exhibit.
Mr. SPEAKER announced that a vacancy had occurred in the representation in this House of the electoral division of Zululand owing to the death this morning of Mr. J. W. H. Morris.
I move, as an unopposed motion—
One of our younger members who has not been in the House for many years has unexpectedly passed away, and we shall feel his loss in the years to come. I personally have looked upon him as a very promising member who would become one of the most useful and prominent young members of this House. He did not very often take part in the debates, but whenever he did so he spoke with real effect and made a real contribution, and his passing, at his age, is a very serious loss to this House. He was liked on all sides of the House and he was popular with all sections of the community. He was very popular in his constituency, which suffered a very particular loss by his passing away. It is a loss not only to this House but to his constituency and his province, and also to the whole of South Africa. We wish to record our sense of public loss at his going and to express to his relatives our very warm sympathy in their bereavement.
I would like to second this motion of condolence at the death of one of our members. It is the second death which has taken place amongst members of this House during this session. The first was that of the hon. member for Castle (Mr. Alexander) which happened with great unexpectedness. The death which has now taken place was almost as unexpected, and I need not say that in those circumstances the loss of the hon. member is not only regretted, but comes as a shock to members of this House and to the country. As was stated by the Hon. the Prime Minister, the member who has died and whose demise we now bewail, was a comparatively new member of this House and as such he had not yet had the opportunity of exhibiting all his possibilities, but there were, as the Prime Minister has stated, grounds for expecting that he would gradually become a very useful member of this House. In any case, those who knew him appreciated his personality and friendship, and I do not doubt that had he lived longer he would have had a still wider circle of friends in this House and that the House would have borne witness still further to his usefulness. I second.
I also wish to support the motion of the Rt. Hon. the Prime Minister. As the hon. leader of the Opposition stated the hand of Death has been heavy on this House during the last few months, and we therefore feel the shock all the more. With regard to the late Mr. Morris, I think everyone appreciates the sincerity and the éclat with which he carried out his Parliamentary duties, and in a conversation I had with him just before he became ill, it was evident to me that his public duties contributed in some way towards the development of his troubles, and therefore I feel that he has sacrificed at least part of his life to his public duties. I support the motion of the Prime Minister.
My hon. leader has asked me to express the feelings of sympathy which we all feel upon hearing of the loss of Mr. Morris. I gladly pay my tribute to the value of his work because I have been closely associated with him in those activities which fall to the lot of hon. members of this House representing the Province of Natal. I cannot speak highly enough of the devotion he showed in the innumerable duties which fell to his lot as the representative of the largest constituency of the province. In everything he was an unselfish worker, not for the sake of reward, but for the sake of the high standard he desired to set, and the case of the orphan or widow was never brought to him in vain. He was one who had a high conception of duty, and let me say that in relation to other members of this House of all parties his bearing was admirable. It was devoid of offence towards any man amongst us. It was a bearing which we should like to see adopted by every hon. member of this House. His loss is a tragic one to his family, and it is all the more so because we know that recently he suffered a great personal loss in regard to his own estate which he bore with calmness and without murmur. I feel that his loss is one which we all share, and we have a sad fellowship with his family in their bereavement.
On behalf of my colleagues and myself I would like to support the motion of the Prime Minister in expressing our deep regret at the death of Mr. Morris. In the comparatively short time in which Mr. Morris was a member of this House he established a reputation for breadth of sympathy and a deep sense of responsibility in regard to his duties. We in particular suffer a loss of our own as a result of his going. He represented in this House one of the largest constituencies in this country as the hon. member for Pinetown has said, and one which included a large proportion of the people whom we do our best to represent from these benches. In every matter affecting them he showed the breadth of his outlook and the depth of his sense of responsibility. He was a friend to people who were otherwise almost completely friendless, and he was prepared at all times to sacrifice his own interests on behalf of others. It is with the deepest sympathy with his family that we associate ourselves with the motion of the Prime Minister.
Motion agreed to unanimously, all the members standing.
I move—
This motion I am moving is not intended to inflict an additional burden on the House. The rule, as it stands now, amounts to this, that if business is not finished by 6 p.m. this Committee automatically adjourns to 8 p.m., and we wish to avoid that. We wish to avoid giving hon. members the burden of a night sitting if it can be avoided. But it is possible that we may not quite conclude our business by 6 p.m., and then the House stands automatically adjourned, and we want to avoid that, and if it is necessary to go on a little longer after 6 p.m. in order to finish our business without dragging the House back again for a night sitting, we should like to do so. That is the object of this motion, and I move it for that purpose.
I second.
Agreed to.
Leave was granted to the Minister of Finance to introduce the Excise Amendment Bill.
Bill brought up and read a first time.
I move—
I second.
If the second reading is taken on Tuesday, when will we receive the Bill?
The Bill is very short, and hon. members will have it on Monday at the very latest. I doubt, however, whether we shall reach it on Tuesday.
Motion put and agreed to.
First Order read: House to resume in Committee on Asiatic Land Tenure and Indian Representation Bill.
House in Committee:
[Progress reported on 11th April, when clause 45 had been put, upon which amendments had been moved by Mr. F. C. Erasmus, Mr. Fouché and Mr. J. H. Conradie; clause 37 was standing over.]
I just want to say a few words in support of the amendment by the hon. member for Gordonia (Mr. J. H. Conradie), and in which he suggests that the Indian representatives in the Senatte will not be permitted to vote on any matter which may be regarded by the Government as a motion of no confidence, or on a matter which may cause the fall of the Government. We are now getting three representatives of Indians in this House, and also their representatives in the Senate. They represent a racial section. In other words, we will now have a bloc of representatives who do not represent the country in general, but who represent a certain section for the interests of a certain race. It is not necessary to point out the danger that is contained in such a group of members forming a bloc and having the right to vote about matters such as were mentioned here. We will have the same position when dealing with an amendment in connection with this House. A bloc of members can be formed who do not represent national interests as a whole, but only a sectional or a racial interest, who can be in a position to defeat the Government and to cause an election to be held. We can have a state of affairs in the Senate, or in this House, where the two parties are practically of equal strength, and where such a bloc of members who do not represent national interests in general, by standing together, can give a decision. I say that we on this side feel that this can create the unhealthy state of affairs where a racial bloc will be in the position to decide whether the Government shall remain in power or not, and they can precipitate an election and act in a manner which can have far-reaching consequences in the country. In those circumstances we feel that there is good and sound reason for asking that the native representatives and the Indian representatives should be limited in their powers, and that they should not be in a position to force an election on the country and to bring the Government to resignation, but that they should only be there to discuss their own sectional and racial interests.
In dealing with these clauses now before us we have reached a very dangerous part of the Bill. We are moving on a very slippery road and do not know where we will land eventually. If we continue to create blocs in the Senate and in the Assembly we do not know where we will end. There is nothing new in limiting the rights of members. In the following clause the Prime Minister suggests that the right of Indian representation in the Assembly shall be limited. That is nothing unheard of, because the Prime Minister in the following clause states that as regards the members elected to the Assembly, their rights will be limited. For example, they will not be allowed to vote for the election of senators. That is a limitation of rights. Also as regards the Senate, there are senators whose right to vote is limited. It is nothing new to differentiate between one representative and another, and the Prime Ministerdoes the same in connection with his suggestion in regard to the Assembly. In the Senate certain senators will now have a term of office of ten years, in any event, and in the Assembly for five years. Whether the Government falls or not, there they sit. They will take part in the voting on a motion as to whether the Government should fall or not, but it does not affect them; they remain there. That is a peculiar state of affairs. If we initiate representation of this nature and if the Prime Minister insists that these representatives should have equal rights with other members, where will it end? We are only now starting to form these blocs. We already have one bloc, and we have had experience of it. If the Prime Minister attains his aims, we will incorporate Swaziland and Basutoland in the near future. I hope that will happen, but then I suppose he will be one of the first to say that those’ people must also have representation. We are on a slippery road. If South-West Africa is incorporated, I suppose the Prime Minister will also be one of the first to say that the non-Europeans in South-West should also have representation. In that way we will continue to form blocs, and eventually will have in the Senate and in the Assembly a bloc of ten or twelve representatives of non-Europeans, and if they are going to be elected on the same basis as the Indian and native representatives we have at present they will not fall together with the Government but will retain their seats, but in spite of that they will be deciding on the weal and woe of South Africa. The Prime Minister is putting South Africa onto a slippery road and in future he will not be thanked for what he is doing now. Already we will have a bloc of six non-European representatives in the Assembly, and we will also have a bloc in the Senate, and those blocs are increasing in accordance with the policy of the opposite side of the House, and eventually one does not know where one will land and what course we shall adopt. We realise that the ten or twelve representatives will follow the direction indicated by the Minister of Finance. They will demand more and more rights and ask for increased representation, and they will have the support of people like the Minister of Finance. We are therefore dealing with a dangerous matter, and I seriously ask the Prime Minister not to dismiss this amendment so airily. The time will arrive when the nation will be thankful to us for at least trying to open the eyes of the people to this danger.
I just want to say a few words in connection with the only argument used by the Prime Minister yesterday to show why he could not adopt the amendments. He did not deign to discuss the amendments on their merits, but simply stated that he did not wish to have two kinds of senators in the Senate. In connection with this Bill is a peculiar phenomenon that the Prime Minister just grasps at straws when it suits him, but if it does not suit him he does just the opposite and rejects important amendments and arguments without trying to reply to them. He now comes with this argument that he does not wish to have two kinds of senators. But what does he do in clause 44, which we have just adopted? Why did he not use the same argument there? Sub-section (3) reads as follows—
Here in clause 44, with regard to the period during which a senator shall hold office, he makes provision for two kinds of senators. It suits him to do it there and it fits in with his liberal ideas. He says that they can serve for five years, despite any dissolution of the Senate. By doing so the Prime Minister is destroying his own standpoint in regard to the clause with which we are now dealing. We are only suggesting that there should be two kinds of senators, because we do not want the representatives of non-Europeans to be the arbitrators in important matters affecting the future of our nation. To sum up the position, it seems that hon. members opposite are afraid. They see that they are losing the confidence of the European section of the population, and they now wish to ensure that in the Senate they will have a bloc of representatives of non-Europeans to give the decisive vote in favour of their own liberal principles. I wish to ask the Prime Minister not to reject these important amendments similarly, but to consider them on their merits.
I stated yesterday that I do not want two kinds of senators. By two kinds of senators I mean senators of two different classes with differing rights and privileges. As regards the natives, the matter was decided when we dealt with the native legislation. The question was then raised as to whether the rights of the native representatives should be limited. We then decided that the rights and privileges of the native representatives would be the same as those of other members. It was then laid down that there would be no differentiation between the two kinds of representatives.
But you yourself differentiate.
The Indians are a foreign element.
The argument is now being used that we are dealing with a foreign race. We cannot take it that the electors who will vote for the representatives of the Indians, and who are also citizens of this country, belong to another country. We cannot blindly accept that they will be inimical to the interests of our country. If we want to use that argument, we should give no representation to them. They should then leave the country and should have no representation and have no part in the sovereign rights of Parliament. But that argument is not a good one. We say that we should give them representation, and that we cannot limit their rights.
The representatives of Eurpeans in the Assembly are limited. They are not allowed to vote for senators.
That is an evasion. I am talking of the rights and privileges they have, and as regards that the suggestion is that no differentiation will be made.
The privileges of native representatives in the Provincial Council are also limited.
As regards the election of senators, for good and sufficient reasons something else was laid down, but that does not really affect their rights and privileges.
As regards privileges, you have two kinds.
That is really no argument; it is an evasion. Just look at the subjects mentioned in the amendments in connection with which the Indian representatives should have no vote, according to hon. members opposite. They comprise the fall of a Government, a motion of no confidence, external affairs and the electoral laws. These are all things of very great importance. If one takes away their rights in connection with these subjects, there will be a surprising difference in the status, rights and privileges of these various members.
Why not?
Then I say we should rather not have them at all. That would be logical. But if you adopt the principle of the representation of Indians, one should not differentiate and give rights to one section while depriving the other section of those rights. That is illogical and wrong, and it emanates from a fear for which there is no ground today.
The Indians are at present appealing to India.
People make all kinds of appeals. I remember how, in the old days, it was said that people who appealed to England were not Afrikaners.
If one appeals to England, one is of course no Afrikaner.
Trade relations were broken off by India, but the Indians appealed to India.
We will not limit the rights which they have according to our existing constitution. We will give them the same rights enjoyed by the native representatives. It would be a great mistake to have two kinds of senators and to exclude one section from certain important functions. I cannot adopt the amendment.
It is peculiar that the Prime Minister should say that we make these representations because we are afraid. We are afraid because the Prime Minister during the course of his whole career has always been afraid of the Indians, and has always made concessions. The Afrikaner nation has always had to make more concessions to the Indians. The whole of our legislation followed that course. Indians entrench themselves, and then we are faced by the position that they have vested rights, and we make more concessions. Now we have legislation before us in which all sorts of loopholes are left, and we shall once again follow the same course. How can the Prime Minister say that we have no reason to be afraid? We have every reason. The Prime Minister leaves large loopholes in the Bill, and unless another government speedily sets to work to close those loopholes, it will be too late. I fear that the Prime Minister is not keeping an eye to the future. Whatever members opposite may say, this legislation will not be the final legislation in regard to the Indians. If the policy of the Prime Minister and of the Minister of Finance is followed further, more and more rights will be given to Indians in future. I am convinced that if the heart of the Prime Minister were analysed, a germ of fear would be found in it. He cannot with a clear conscience lay this legislation before the nation and say: “Accept it; it is a solution.” He cannot give the people the assurance that in future no more legislation in regard to Indians will be necessary. It is not without good reason that the white population is anxious. We see how our heritage is gradually being given away to a foreign race, and the only weapon we still had was a political weapon, but the Prime Minister now comes as one of our national leaders, as a man who helped to lay the foundations for Union, and he says to the non-Europeans: “Take that political weapon and use it.” The hon. member for Hottentots-Holland (Mr. Carinus) laughs. I suppose he is highly satisfied with this legislation. He is one who fought together with me to keep the political weapon out of the hands of coloured and natives, but today he is the man who is handing over the heritage of the Europeans to the nonEuropeans. We on this side hope that there will be another government who will be less fearful and who will be able to adopt drastic measures to safeguard the European race in South Africa before it is too late. One can see from the face of the Prime Minister how unhappy he feels about this legislation, but there are other considerations which drive him onwards, and one of them is that he wants peace within the British Empire. He has given us the assurance that England had nothing to do with this matter, but it was remarkable that the hon. member for Vereeniging (Lt.-Col. Rood), one of the few members opposite who spoke, stepped over the rope and stated that we should continue to protect the Indians because otherwise there would be trouble within the British Empire.
The hon. member must return to the clause.
I am dealing with the clause because I am discussing political rights, and all these things are connected with it.
The hon. member must confine himself to the clause and to the amendment which has been moved.
Yesterday you permitted the hon. member for Green Point (Mr. Bowen) to use much broader arguments in connection with the clause. In any case, in this clause we see the thin end of the wedge. If there are no restrictions, more and more rights will be demanded by the Indians.
I would like to support the suggestion made by my friends of the Opposition in respect of the functions of members of the Senate who represent the Indian population. I understand the suggestion is they should not have any say in the question of peace or war, nor should they have any say in a vote of confidence in the Government. I think that is a very reasonable suggestion to make. My reason for supporting the suggestion is, I consider, the Indians in South Africa have not proved themselves worthy citizens of the country, and that being so, they are not entitled to say whether South Africa should remain at peace or go to war in a serious time of crisis. I would like to know what Indians in South Africa would have done had the Japanese invaded South Africa.
What would the Nationalists have done?
What would they have done had the Japanese landed on the shores of South Africa? I would like to tell the House what happened in Colombo. In Colombo the dock workers were all Indians, as distinct from the inhabitants of Ceylon, known as Celanese and called by some Cingalese. This is what happened. The Japanese bombed Colombo harbour and the Indian dock labourers packed up and jumped on to the first craft on which they could to get away to India. They deserted their posts. The whole activities of the port were held up for three weeks. Not a single Indian remained at his post, and as a result the Government of Ceylon had to train the Cingalese to do the dock work. But in the meantime the whole of this important work in the strategic port at Colombo was held up owing to the Indians deserting their post. That is an example of what one may expect, and for that reason I support the motion from the Opposition benches that senators representing Indians should not have any say in these vital questions.
Our amendment is to the effect that senators elected to represent Indians will not vote about war or peace, and still less about external affairs. It could easily happen that a difference of opinion arises in this House in connection with our foreign policy, and that the Prime Minister, as Leader of the House, goes to the people to test the opinion of the nation in regard to the matter, and that the Opposition then comes into power. Then the Opposition will be landed with a Senate which holds different opinions. Provision has been made in our constitution for the Senate to be dissolved in such circumstances and for a new Senate to be formed which will not obstruct the policy of the new party in power. The senators elected to represent Indians will then not be dismissed together with the rest of the Senate, and it may therefore happen that in the new Senate they hold the balance of power to enable them to obstruct the Government’s legislation. I want to make an earnest appeal to the Prime Minister. There is already differentiation in status in regard to representatives, a very clear differentation, and for that reason I want to ask the Prime Minister to accept our amendment. The Prime Minister has stated that the whole matter must be solved step by step. Now, is this a wise step in view of conditions prevalent in the world? The world today is a boiling pot, but just at this very stage you now want to give the Indians a vote in those important matters. The Indians have proved that they do not feel as we do, and they appeal to a foreign Power; is it wise at this stage to give them a voice in connection with war and foreign policy?
The Prime Minister stated that there should be no differentiation as regards the Indian representatives, but then the question involuntarily arises as to what the attitude of the Indians is with regard to South African matters, through what glasses they view it. The Indian has proved that he does not look through a South African glass, that he has not the South African point of view. The Indian has demanded certain things. He did not do what the other nonEuropeans in our country did, to ask for certain things, but he simply made demands and used threats. The Indians appealed to a foreign Power and made threats of passive resistance and strikes in our country. How can one compare the Indian with the native? The native has made his contribution towards the development of the country. But what has the Indian done? He has not contributed to the development of the country to the same degree as the native, and consequently there is no reason for giving him the same rights as those enjoyed by the natives. The Indian still has to prove that he wants to behave himself in South Africa, and that he does not look to any other country but South Africa. Their thoughts are still fixed elsewhere. Their thoughts are not yet directed to the welfare of South Africa. Right throughout this legislation concessions have been made to them, great concessions, concessions which will in future count heavily against the Europeans, and therefore we would like to protest against these concessions which they receive in the Senate. To us as Europeans it is a great danger. Hon. members here have pointed out how they can have the balance of power in their hands when matters of prime importance are discussed, how they can give a decision which may be fatal for the Europeans in South Africa. We want to appeal to the Prime Minister very seriously not to let this matter develop any further, and to limit their rights so that the white race can to a certain extent be safeguarded.
The Prime Minister has said that these senators have the same privileges as ordinary senators. If we proceed from that standpoint, I am afraid that we are giving to senators representing Indians more rights than are possessed by senators representing Europeans, and for that reason I wish to object. If we were to give them the same rights one could still understand it, but we should not give them greater rights than other senators have, and in my opinion we are giving them more rights in this respect. A new government has the right under certain circumstances to dissolve the existing Senate, but it will not have the right to dismiss those senators representing Indians. There they have greater privileges than senators representing Europeans. That power was given to Parliament to prevent senators obstructing things done in the national interest, but that does not apply to senators representing Indians, and it means that they can be the deciding factor when a new Parliament is elected, which can obstruct the policy of a new government, and therefore I cannot see how it can be said that we are giving them the same powers as those given to the ordinary senator. I think we must recognise the fact that they have more powers. If they have the same powers and privileges they should be put under the same discipline as senators representing Europeans.
May I briefly state my objection to the senator who is to be elected by a mere fraction of the Indian population having the right to exercise the same privileges and powers that accrue to a senator who is elected with the full support of the various electorates in the separate provinces. The method of electing a senator was designed by the fathers of the constitution as being a most effective way of ascertaining the will of the electorates of the separate provinces. But now, by a short cut, we set out to give the Indian senator, who is not even elected by the full voice of the Indians, but, as was pointed out by the hon. member for Durban (North) (Rev. Miles-Cadman), those Indians who are qualified to vote and represent a very small fraction of the total Indian population, the same rights. So we are professedly setting out to give a right to this small fraction to elect one senator, as their own monopoly. They can be represented by one senator, although they themselves amount to only a very small fraction of the Indian population. That is the ground of my objection. I think we are putting unholy hands upon the sanctity of our constitution. Our constitution was produced by the wisdom of the fathers of the National Convention who laid down the method by which it could be ensured that those who represent us in the Upper House are truly entitled to do so by reason of their being representative of each province. Now, without pretending that this senator represents the province, we propose to allow a fraction of the Indian population to elect him, and we put him on the same level as regards voting with those people who are fully representative of the province. To my mind that constitutes the strongest ground of objection to the method of representation that is set out here and to the senator elected being put on the same footing as those senators who have superior grounds for considering themselves representative of the province from which they come.

Amendment accordingly negatived.
Clause 45, as printed, put and agreed to.
On clause 46,
I should like to move—.
In lines 62 and 63, to omit “notwithstanding any dissolution of the House of Assembly”.
This sub-section reads—
I now move that the last words, “notwithstanding any dissolution of the House of Assembly”, be deleted. I hope the Prime Minister will accept this amendment which aims at putting the representatives of Asiatics in the House of Assembly on the same level as other hon. members. To me it is a curious phenomenon in the Bill. We pleaded this morning, and will plead still further, that their rights should be curtailed in such a manner that they will not be allowed to vote on certain occasions, in case of war, in case of motions of no confidence and on matters affecting the franchise. But what is very peculiar to me is that the Prime Minister has so far opposed it. His plea was that they should have absolute equality with the other members, but now he comes here with this suprising sub-section and he gives them more powers than are enjoyed by other members. The surprising thing in this Bill is that he is proposing not to give them the same powers, but more powers than those enjoyed by other members. That is one of the most surprising phenomena in this Bill, that the Prime Minister is giving those people more privileges than the ordinary member who represents the European population. They have the certainty that they will sit here for five years; they can vote and do just as they like when there is a motion of no confidence; they can bring the Government of the day to a fall if they have enough votes to do so, because they remain sitting for five years. The people can think what they like as regards the rest of the members, but these particular members can decide whether the House should dissolve. They can regulate it so that an election must be held, but still they retain their seats. They can cause an election which affects the European population, but they have the guarantee that they will retain their seats for five years. The representatives of the Asiatics will have greater privileges in this House than the ordinary member. When the majority vote for an election, then even the Prime Minister must go and fight for his seat again, and also all the European representatives, but those three members who represent Indians will retain their seats for five years.
The same thing applies to the native representatives.
But two wrongs do not make a right. That hon. member has probably also regretted, as I did, that we ever gave that privilege to those members. It is peculiar that those people who represent a racial group should have more privileges than members who represent the nation in general. At an inconvenient moment they can foist an election on the country, because they are not affected by it. In a sense they are given greater authority than that of other members, and I think that in this instance the Prime Minister should adopt our amendment.
I cannot understand how the Prime Minister can give one section of representatives more privileges than those enjoyed by the ordinary member of the House of Assembly. The ordinary member representing the European population is not given the facilities which will be enjoyed by these Indian representatives and which are already enjoyed by the native representatives. They remain on for five years. If the Government were to dissolve Parliament tomorrow, there will be a general election, but in spite of that those members will retain their seats. Where does the justness and logic of the Prime Minister figure, if he gives them privileges which are not enjoyed by other members? We feel that the rights to be given to Indian representatives are greater than those enjoyed by other members. They will have the right to vote here, perhaps to the detriment of South Africa. When it comes to a question of war they will perhaps have the deciding vote, and they can land the country in the greatest misery in the world, but still they retain their seats. At present we have three native representatives; we are now getting three Indian representatives, and tomorrow or the next day the Prime Minister will also give representation to the coloureds, and where will it stop? It may be that the Government party is dependent on the vote of those people, and they can cause an election, but they are safe. I feel that the Prime Minister is here doing an injustice to the ordinary member of Parliament, and I want to plead that he should adopt the amendment of the hon. member for Moorreesburg (Mr. F. C. Erasmus).
I just want to raise another question. This morning and yesterday, when we suggested that those members should not have certain privileges, the Prime Minister used as his main argument that they have just as much interest in those general matters from which we want to exclude them. Supposing now that the Government resigns on a specific question and goes to the country. We are now arguing on the basis of the Prime Minister’s argument. The position is that if the Government goes to the country on a specific question, the constituents represented by those members will not have an opportunity of voting. The three Indian representatives, together with the three native representatives, may be the cause of the Government going to the country on a specific question. They cause the election, but they do not vacate their seats. That can easily happen if the two parties in the House are approximately of equal strength. They retain their seats and as a result their electors cannot vote on the question on which the Government had to go to the country. I hope that the Prime Minister will realise that our amendment is essential in the interests of the country.
My difficulty is that the possibility exists that the vote of the Indian representatives in the House can influence a decision being taken in a certain direction, that their vote can be the deciding factor leading to the dissolution, while those members themselves do not vacate their seats. They are equally responsible for the dissolution but have no responsibility for the vote they cast. It seems to me that that is a reason why we should make a change here.
Hear, hear.
We have set out from the standpoint that these special members can participate in a division in this House which may cause a change of Government, and then they also, together with other members of the House, should bear responsibility for the way they voted. I think it is right that they should also expose themselves to an election. I am therefore prepared to accept this amendment. That will also necessitate an amendment in the following sub-clause.
Are you prepared to apply the same principle to the native representatives?
We are dealing here with Indian representatives. The position as regards native representatives has been settled on a former occasion. We are dealing here now with a new development and I think that we should reconsider this question as regards this clause. I am prepared to accept an amendment whereby an election of those members should also take place when Parliament is dissolved. I accept the principle of the amendment, but I am of opinion that it should be put in a somewhat different form. I therefore move my amendment as follows—
- (3) The said members shall hold their seats for a period of five years, unless the House of Assembly is dissolved before the expiry of such period.
I withdraw my amendment in favour of the amendment of the Prime Minister, because it amounts to the same. We have already finished dealing with this clause, but I should like to know from the Prime Minister whether the same amendment could not be moved to clause 44 in connection with the Senate.
No, it is not necessary there. The Senate it not a decisive factor.
With leave of the Committee, the amendment proposed by Mr. F. C. Erasmus was withdrawn.
Amendment proposed by the Prime Minister put and agreed to.
Clause, as amended, put and agreed to.
On clause 47,
We now come to a very remarkable position. The Prime Minister stated a moment ago that there need be no fear that the Indian representatives, together with the representatives of the natives, will form a bloc in this House and that they will have the decisive vote. But he has just accepted this amendment, and in doing so he admitted that that fear is not a fictitious but a real fear. He stated that there was a great possibility that that bloc might have the balance of power and that the decision would therefore be in their hands. We need no longer argue that point. The Prime Minister concedes it. On the ground of that concession I move the amendment which stands in my name on page 461 of the Order Paper and which reads as follows—
Provided that such member of the House of Assembly shall not be competent to take part in the discussion on or to vote on any motion the adoption or rejection of which may lead to the defeat of the Government.
I want to say that there can no longer be any doubt that it is really a dangerous factor. The Prime Minister has already admitted it.
I have made no admission in regard to a dangerous factor.
Business suspended at 12.45 p.m. and resumed at 2.20 p.m.
Afternoon Sitting.
When business was suspended I was pointing out that by the acceptance of the amendment of the hon. member for Moorreesburg (Mr. F. C. Erasmus), the Prime Minister admitted that the representatives of the Indians in the House of Assembly will be able to develop into a very strong power; that by voting with the majority they may be able to have Parliament dissolved without any necessity on their part to participate again in an election. The Prime Minister then conceded that if Parliament is dissolved in that way, the Indian representatives too must be re-elected, but the fact remains that, by forming a majority with their balance of power, they have the power to bring about the dissolution of Parliament. It is an important matter that the representatives of the Indians will be able to occupy such a strong position. There may be a difference of opinion between the big parties, and the question in issue may be who is to govern the country and how the country is to be governed. This bloc of nonEuropean representatives will then have the power in its hands to decide the issue. The result is that on a matter involving South Africa’s highest interests, on a matter affecting the continued existence of Européan civilisation in our country, we shall be calling in the representatives of the non-Europeans as arbitrators to decide a dispute between Europeans and non-Europeans. One cannot think of a single matter which, in certain circumstances, will not be left to their decision as arbitrators. I therefore move as an amendment that the following proviso be added, “shall not be competent to take part in the discussion on or to vote on any motion the adoption or rejection of which may lead to the defeat of the Government.” We cannot leave it in the hands of these few people to decide such an important matter. In order to strengthen my argument I just want to indicate what happened in South Africa’s political history, in order to show how easily such a position may arise. In 1921 the Prime Minister was in power and he decided to amalgamate with the old Unionist Party, and the strength of the respective parties in the House of Assembly then was: South African Party, 79 seats; Nationalist Party, 45 seats. In 1921 the Prime Minister’s party on the other side still had a clear majority of 34 over the Nationalist Party. That was shortly after the declaration of peace in 1919. On 5th April, 1924, the historic by-election of Wakkerstroom took place. The Nationalist Party conquered Wakkerstroom and the Prime Minister then authorised an election. Within three years and three months there was a complete change; and it is of the utmost importance to note how the views of the public changed in that short space of time. After the election of 1924 the Nationalist Party had 63 seats and the South African Party, including the flank of the Unionists which the Prime Minister had included in his party, had 53 seats; in other words, ten seats less than the Nationalist Party. A majority of 34 was changed into a minority of 10 in that short space of time.
Only through the trade union vote.
The hon. member knows, of course, that he will not be returned. He is not allowed to speak either; he is only allowed to make an interjection. The Prime Minister will have to admit, in view of the developments which are taking place, that it is very probable that we may have the same state of affairs with the next general election. The six non-European representatives in the House may have the balance of power and they may be able to decide whether the new Government should fall or not. They could be the decisive factor in all sorts of important matters. Are we to adopt the attitude in South Africa that the representatives of the natives in this House, who were appointed merely to advocate the interests of the natives, are to decide all these important problems?
Are you not under-estimating the European representatives?
There are many things that I may under-estimate, but I shall never over-estimate the hon. member’s intelligence. The fact remains that the native representatives, instead of acting primarily as the advocates of native interests, for which they were chosen in the first place, are agitating against the interests of the Europeans in this country. Whenever matters affecting the relations between Europeans and non-Europeans are decided, they act as ardent advocates, rightly or wrongly, of the standpoint of the non-Europeans. Not only do they adopt a positive attitude in favour of the non-Europeans, but they are solidly opposed to the Europeans and the continued existence of European civilisation. Here we have a measure in connection with the Indian vote. What have the native representatives done? They will act first and foremost as champions of the non-European standpoint as against that of the Europeans. They have acted here as the advocates of the interests of the Indians. Listening to the hon. members, one would really believe that they are the representatives of the Indians in this House. One can understand their motive. They see an opportunity that the three representatives of the Indians may strengthen their position, so that the group representatives of the non-Europeans will have the balance of power and the final say in matters. They will then try to use the balance of power to obtain further reinforcement in the House of Assembly, and they will agitate more strongly than ever against the interests of the Europeans. In view of this, it is of the utmost importance that the Prime Minister should accept my amendment. I cannot believe that anyone with a grain of sense cannot realise the danger. I have referred to the development of the parties. I pointed out what the position was in 1921 and what the position was in 1924. I also want to refer to what happened in 1939. The House was then called upon to decide a very important matter relating to the war and the question of our participation, and at the same time the voting was to determine whether the then Government would remain in power or fall. In 1933 there was a difference of only 13 between the big parties in the House. When we had to vote in 1939, it was an open question what the decision would be. It was said in the Lobby at the time that one could not predict at all who would win or lose. At that time it was thought that at most there would be a difference of five. As it happened there was a difference of 13, but no one knew that it would be more than four or five. If it had been a matter of four or five, the native representatives, by means of their vote, would have decided the issue. [Time limit.]
May I congratulate the two hon. members who have just made interjections on having got back their vocal chords. For quite a few days they have been deaf and dumb, but they are making some progress and they are able now to make interjections. We welcome that. Let us hope that they will raise their voices in this debate in another way. I do not want to repeat the argument that I advanced yesterday when I referred to a non-European bloc; but yesterday we dealt with the Senate, and now we are dealing with the House of Assembly, the really important legislative body of the country. The Prime Minister himself indicated by way of an interjection that he is not particularly interested in the representation in the Senate, not as much as in connection with the House of Assembly. I want to come back to the question of the nonEuropean bloc, and, like the hon. member for Boshof (Mr. Serfontein), I want to point out once again the real danger of such a bloc. Such a bloc of six would be able to precipitate an election in this country, and, moreover, on a matter for which they were not sent to this House. That is a fact from which the Prime Minister cannot get away. The native representatives, and now the Indian representatives as well, are sent to this House for a specific purpose, namely, to look after the particular’ interests of the racial groups whom they represent. Now the Prime Minister wants to create a position whereby these representatives, who may form a bloc, will be in a position to bring about the fall of the Government on a matter which does not directly concern them, particularly when it concerns the Indians. If there is any doubt about the possibility of forming a non-European political bloc, that doubt has been removed by the recent meeting of the A.P.O. in Cape Town. On that occasion, according to the report of the “Cape Argus”, a strong appeal was made to the non-Europeans for unity in the struggle for recognition. The speaker, Dr. Dietrich, who was chairman of the A.P.O., stated [re-translation]—
Similar opinions were expressed at the gatherings of other European organisations, particularly under the guidance of the communists. But, apart from the communists, there is already a movement in the country to persuade all the non-European elements to form a non-European political front. We canriot close our eyes to that. The principle of representation of the non-European sections is now being extended. We are now going to have representatives of the Indians as well. There is a possibility that the nonEuropean bloc in the House will in the future stand together in the spirit of this resolution of the congress of the A.P.O., and that they might force the dissolution of Parliament in regard to matters for which they were not sent here. Because, although they sit here as ordinary members, the Prime Minister must admit that they are sent here by the Indians to look after the particular interests of the Indians, and not the interests of the country generally. They will only look after sectional interests, but they will be in a position to force an election. This is an extremely important principle. Since the Prime Minister admits that, by accepting the amendment of the hon. member for Moorreesburg, I hope he will go a step further and also, accept this amendment.
I just want to quote an example to show how dangerous the bloc vote may become. By giving the vote to the Indian, we may change the whole complexion of Parliament, and in all probability the history of South Africa as well. What we have said here are not just hallucinations; these are not arguments which are intended to cause the Prime Minister discomfiture, but these are cold realities. The Prime Minister will remember that on the occasion of the Imperial Conference of 1923 a question was put to the then Prime Minister of Canada, at that time Mr. Mackenzie King, in regard to the possible political consequences of granting the franchise to the Indians in British Columbia. He started by saying that he was not exaggerating and that it was not a matter of theory—
In this case it was not even the danger of a bloc vote, but of the ordinary vote, since the Indians were to be placed on the ordinary voters’ roll of the Europeans, and the effect it might have on the Federal Government— an effect which might be as far-reaching as Mr. Mackenzie King put it on that occasion. When one takes a bloc vote in this House, the danger is infinitely greater. If there had been such a bloc of three votes, it can be imagined what a danger it would have presented at the time to the Federal Government of Canada. I need not point out the danger that such a bloc, which has certain ideas, might represent to the Government of the country, and not only in respect of the question as to which Government shall be in power at any particular time as between two parties, but also with regard to the legislation proposed by the Government. The Prime Minister will remember the role played by Parnell with his Irish group in the British Parliament in the years 1880 to 1890. He maintained the balance, and he was in a position to dictate to the Government of the day, whether it was the Gladstone Government or the Disraeli Government, what they had to do in connection with matters affecting Ireland.
But there were 80 members.
Precisely. But we must remember that there are 640 members in the British Parliament, while we number 150. It is true that 80 members in their case would be equivalent to 20 in our case. Today we have three native representatives in the House. With the addition of the three representatives of the Indians, there will be six; and what is the Prime Minister going to do when the other territories are incorporated? Will they also have to be given representatives? Does he think the natives numbering eight million will be satisfied with three representatives, if a quarter of a million Indians also have three representatives? No, it will prove to be impossible to peg the position. If the Prime Minister thinks the present position can be pegged, he is living in a fool’s paradise. There will continually be agitation, and eventually, if this Government is still in power, it will have to yield to that agitation. There is a real danger that the balance of power will be in the hands of this small group of representatives of various races, representatives of sections of the population and not of the population as a whole. Not only will they have the power to determine which Government shall be in power but also what legislation any particular Government can pass or cannot pass. If the Government is not prepared to agree to its proposals, it will throw in its weight with the Opposition and the Government will then be thrown out of power. That is a real danger. I have mentioned the example given to us by the Prime Minister of Canada. These are not theoretical objections or exaggerations, but these are the cold facts of reality and it is possible that South Africa may also be faced with that cold reality. That is the logical consequence of what the Prime Minister is bringing about by refusing to accept our amendment on this point. We are faced with that actual danger unless the vote of the group representatives is limited, and if there is one person who ought to realise that it is the Prime Minister himself. If the Prime Minister realises it, and if in spite of that he still persists in his attitude, if he says that this case is not the same as that of Parnell, because in that case the percentage was greater, we want to tell him that today the danger may not be as great but we are opening the door to that danger in the future. That is what we on this side want to avoid, if possible. He is the one man who ought to realise it, if there is anyone who should realise it, and if in spite of that he still carries on with this measure, we can only come to one conclusion and that is a conclusion which will not redound to the credit of the memory of the Prime Minister.
I move the amendment which stands in my name on the Order Paper on page 461—
Provided that such member of the House of Assembly shall not be competent to take part in the discussion on or to vote on any motion directly or indirectly involving a declaration of war or dealing with the external relations of the Union.
This matter has been fairly fully discussed. I just want to point out that the principle of representation of racial groups is actually a comparatively new principle in South Africa. We have come so far in this country that the various coloured races are represented in this House by groups. We cannot get away from the fact that that principle is still in its initial stages. Today the natives have group representation in this House and the Prime Minister now proposes to give group representation to the Indians as well. No one knows what is going to happen in the future if the protectorates are incorporated or if South-West Africa is incorporated. It is tantamount to this, that in this House we are going to have a bloc of members of Parliament who will essentially differ from the great majority of the members of Parliament in this House. The members representing racial groups will be chosen on a different basis from the ordinary members. They will represent special groups. Since we have gained wide experience of this principle in that the native representatives in this House form such a group, and since the Prime Minister proposes in this Bill to give similar group representation to the Indians, we want to make a plea to him to recognise that difference. Those people will be coming here to champion the cause of the Indians. They will be looking after group interests, and for that reason we say that we must restrict their vote to such an extent that they will not be able to dictate who shall govern this country. In the years which lie ahead it is quite possible that we may have more parties in this House, and some of these parties may be of equal strength. There is a possibility, therefore, that the Governments of the future will not be able to remain in power for lengthy periods, and in these circumstances such a bloc of group representatives will have the power to dictate who is to govern the country. Moreover, in the event of a serious dispute in regard to external policy, in regard to the question of participation in a war, such a bloc of group representatives could make its influence felt. It will have the balance of power in its hands, and it will be able to decide what the future policy is going to be. In this connection I want to bring the following points to the notice of the Prime Minister. Will the action of the Indians at this stage be conducive to a sound external policy for the Union, if we are to have Indian representatives in this House who will be able to influence overseas countries against the established policy of this country in connection with the colour problem? This is a question on which we on this side hold particularly strong views in view of present-day events. It is very clear that the conduct of the Indians in South Africa has been such that they have influenced the Government of India more particularly to oppose the incorporation of South-West Africa into the Union, for example. If the representatives of the Indians have the power to interfere with the external policy of the Union, will they be promoting the interests of the Union, particularly if they can act as a group in this House, to influence overseas countries against the established policy of this country? The Prime Minister stated that he did not want different types of representation in this House, but the truth is that today we have different types of representation. It remains a fact that the representatives of the natives represent a group and not the general population of the country. Furthermore, there is this difference, that those three group representatives are not entitled to vote when senators are elected for the Cape Province. There is that difference. Our amendment does not therefore raise a new principle. There is already a difference between the representatives in this House. The Prime Minister must not allow a crisis to develop in connection with this matter before taking any action. Let us at this stage give the representatives of the Indians a limited franchise in this House. The Indians are not satisfied with the type of franchise we propose to give them, and for that reason we make a plea to the Prime Minister not to allow the group representatives of the Indians in this House to have the right to vote on any motion of no confidence, on the question of war or the question of external policy.
I also want to protest against the right which is to be given to the representatives of the Indians to plunge us into war. They will be able to plunge this country into war, and the Indians whom they represent will not bear the same responsibility as we Europeans bear. During the last war we had the position that the representatives of the natives helped to plunge us into war. Now I want to ask the Prime Minister how many non-Europeans were killed during this war and how many Europeans were killed? The same thing will happen in the future. If those representatives of the Indians plunge us into war, the Indians whom they represent will not enlist to fight in the front line. They may be used as henchmen or in other capacities. For the first fifty or hundred years they will not be used in the front line, but the Europeans will have to face the danger. They will remain out of danger although they voted for participation in the war, while the Europeans will fight in the front line and be* subjected to the greatest dangers. The representatives of the Indians will be sending Europeans to their death, while the Indians will remain in safety behind the lines. I want to ask the Prime Minister and every European whether it is right and fair that they should be able to put Europeans into the front line and send them to their death, while the people whom they represent will never fight in the front line? Is it perhaps the intention of the Government to train the non-Europeans in the future so that they will be fit to fight in the front line? And if that is the Government’s plan, it is no more than fair towards the country that the Government should explain its attitude and say that it is prepared to train the non-Europeans so that they will be able to fight in the front line in the event of war.
I should like to move the amendment which stands in my name on page 472—
Provided that such member of the House of Assembly shall not be competent to take part in the discussion on or to vote on any motion affecting the right to vote or any other matter in connection with the electoral laws.
That is in consonance with the other amendments of this side. We ask that the vote of the representatives of the Asiatics be limited in this House so that they will not be able to vote on any motion of no confidence, a declaration of war or a proposal for the extension of their franchise. It is the most natural thing in the world to ask this. Moreover, it seems so reasonable. I can imagine that those members will be in the House just a few weeks when they will start introducing motions to place their franchise on an equal footing with that of the Europeans, or they will try to place their franchise on the same basis as that of the coloured population in the Cape Province. They will point but that the coloured people in the Cape Province are entitled to vote if they occupy a house to the value of £75 or if they have an income of £50, and they will ask why their qualifications should be so much higher. They will advance this argument in order to have the franchise of the Asiatic extended. They will also demand that the franchise be extended to the Cape Province. Unless we take this right away from them they will continually be agitating for an extended franchise. So much with regard to the general question. May I refer to another point which may not be fully appreciated? This is the first time over a lengthy period in the history of South Africa that the vote of the non-European is being extended and that he is being given the powers which are given to him in this clause. During the past 90 years the Europeans have always limited the franchise for their own protection. I mention it in connection with this clause because the franchise which is here being given to representatives in the House of Assembly represents an extension of the franchise of the non-Europeans. I emphasise this point because the Prime Minister exposes himself before the tribunal of the nation to a very serious accusation that he is the first South African in 90 years to propose that the franchise and the representation of the non-Europeans be extended. Every proposal since the day when Queen Victoria first gave the franchise to the natives and the coloured people has been in the direction of curtailment for the protection of the Europeans in South Africa. It has always been the standpoint of the Europeans that the political authority of the non-Europeans should be restricted, otherwise it would have meant the end of the Europeans in this country. It is remarkable that for 90 years not a single step was taken to extend the franchise of the non-Europeans but only to curtail their franchise. The franchise of the natives was restricted, and the Prime Minister helped to bring that about. The Europeans realised that it was necessary to curtail the franchise of the natives, otherwise we would have been lost. The Prime Minister is the first South African who has dared in the past 90 years to extend the franchise of the non-Europeans. In being the first person for generations to come forward with such a proposal, the Prime Minister is not earning a nice reputation for himself. The only hope of the Europeans has been continually to curtail the vote of the nonEuropeans, that vote which was given to the non-Europeans in the difficult days of the British Colonial era under the pressure of the British Government. In Natal the franchise was also given under the pressure of the British Government in the Colonial era, but in practice it was not exercised. Natal maintained that position during all these years, and now for the first time in the history of South Africa under the regime of the Rt. Hon. member, Natal finds that the Government is about to extend the franchise to non-Europeans. I say that the Prime Minister is making himself guilty of an act which will be remembered by history. It is not a nice thing to do towards one’s fellow-Europeans.
It is a historical crime.
Since we are witnessing a historical occasion when a European, an Afrikaner, is trying to extend the franchise of the non-European instead of curtailing it, as the tradition has always been, we might very well ask ourselves: “What has become of South Africa with such a European at the helm?”
It is a historical crime.
When we discussed this amendment yesterday I raised the question that the Indians constitute a foreign element. This morning the Prime Minister replied, and if I understood him correctly the Prime Minister adopts the attitude that he does not want to differentiate betwéen the natives in South Africa and the Indians. Apparently it does not make any difference to him that the native is an aboriginal of this country and that he has been here for centuries and centuries and that the Indian is an immigrant from another country. Even the Prime Minister in his Bill recognises the Indian as belonging to a race whose home is in India or Ceylon. Are we to understand from the Prime Minister that he does not want to recognise any difference between the native and the Indian? A distinction ought to be drawn in the interests of the native who, at any rate, are people who had their origin in this country. But here we now have an admission from the Prime Minister that he does not want to recognise any difference between the natives on the one hand and the Indians on the other hand. The Prime Minister says he does not recognise that argument that the Indians constitute a foreign element. I think that is a very serious statement. The Prime Minister stated this morning that we are taking away too much from the Indians by means of our amendments. What are we taking away from them? That is what I want to know?* What are we taking away? We are not taking away anything from them. We are giving them something to which they are not entitled. How in heaven’s name can the Prime Minister say that he cannot accept these amendments because we would then be taking away too much from these people?
From the status of the member of Parliament.
We are dealing here with things which are of greater importance than status. This matter goes much deeper than the question of status, because here the Prime Minister is not only giving a certain status to the Indians, something which is not tangible, but he is giving them specific rights. He is giving these members of Parliament who will represent the Indians only certain important rights, and he is placing them in exactly the same position as the representatives of the Europeans and of the natives.
But now I come to another point to which the Prime Minister replied this morning. I raised the point yesterday on the motion of the hon. member for Fauresmith (Dr. Dönges) that these Indian representatives should be allowed to vote on questions affecting our external relations. I raised this question yesterday as well as this morning by way of an interjection, with regard to the severance of trade relations between India and South Africa. I again put this question to the Prime Minister this morning by way of an interjection: What would be the attitude of those Indian representatives in this House if the question of the severance of trade relations between India and South Africa were to come under discussion, or when the question may be raised that we in turn should apply counter-measures to India; I want to know what is going to be the attitude of those Indian representatives? Would they ever side with South Africa or would they stand by India to whom they have already made an appeal. What was the Prime Minister’s reply? His reply was: “Let them vote as they please”, in other words, he does not care. There is this great danger; we may have the position that there may be a slight difference in the numerical strength of the parties or a difference of opinion may arise in the Prime Minister’s own party with regard to the question of counter-measures against India. Can the Prime Minister then tell us that they should be allowed to vote as they please? They are in this House as members of Parliament, but they are here mainly as representatives of Indian interests and Indian interests only. I say, therefore, that there is a serious difference between the native and the Indian and we must recognise that difference. The Indian constitutes a foreign element in this country, and we cannot allow him to vote on external relations where India’s interests are at stake. Take the question of war. The amendment of the hon. member for Smithfield (Mr. Fouché) excludes the question of war. Yesterday the Prime Minister shrugged his shoulders, and suggested that it was very unlikely when I spoke of a possible war between India and South Africa. The Prime Minister will admit, however, that important and prominent world leaders are today speaking of the possibility of war between the East and the West. Unless I am mistaken, I am inclined to believe that the Prime Minister once hinted in that direction. The possibility of a clash between the East and the West in the future is not excluded, and I want to know where those Indian representatives are going to vote when the House is called upon to decide questions affecting our participation in a war or the difficulties between the East and the West? Nor am I enamoured of native representation in Parliament, but I believe that they will at any rate stand by South Africa, because the natives, after all, are aborigines of this country; it is their country. But I do not believe and I do not think the Prime Minister believes that when a matter of this kind is put to the vote in Parliament, the Indian representatives will side with the Europeans in South Africa. They will side with that country to whom they have now appealed. We therefore have good reason for moving this amendment; we have reason for asking that the Indians should not have the right to vote on such important matters affecting Indian interests in South Africa.
It is not necessary for me to traverse the whole field covered by yesterday’s debate. I have expressed my opinion and I maintain it firmly. It would not be right to have two sorts of members of Parliament, a first-class, and a second-class sort who will be excluded from deciding on certain important questions that come before the House and the country. I do not wish to go over that field again, but the argument has been repeated here that although at the moment there is no danger of a bloc, danger will arise in the future; the three native representatives with the three Indian representatives will now form a bloc of six, and tomorrow or the next day there may be representatives for the Protectorates and for South-West Africa, and the upshot will be there will be present in the House a bloc which will constitute a definite danger, especially if there is not a strong majority in respect of the remaining members. Whatever has happened, no one can foresee the future, no one can make provision, for the future, but any future expansion can only happen by legislation of this Parliament. Parliament of that period whenever the changes are made and when the expansions are brought about will have to decide in how far the non-European vote will be extended.
But you are creating a precedent.
It will be a matter of great importance, I do not deny it. It will be a matter of great importance to the Parliament that will have to decide that question. Today the question is not before us, today there is no danger, and we are only called on to deal with this case, which is an urgent case that is on our doorstep, and here we are dealing on the same lines as when the native question came up.
Is it not possible that even six members may form a decisive bloc if the two parties are almost equal in strength?
We must run that risk. Should such a thing happen, we must run the risk, and any step you take is attended by many risks. The world is full of risks.
But why, with your eyes wide open, give the power to these people?
We must not fold our hands and say: There is a risk, and we shall sit tight and do nothing. In this way you will set up a much bigger danger than the danger of a bloc. Let us do our duty. It is clearly our duty that we must do today. We are acting in the same way as we did with the native question, and we must leave it to a future Parliament in connection with future extensions to decide that question in the interests of the country. Today we are deciding on the question that is on our threshold.
We are surprised at that statement of the Rt. Hon. the Prime Minister.
I am always surprising the hon. member.
He says we must take the risk.
Of course.
We have the power here to eliminate that risk. It is not necessary to run the risk if we insert certain provisions in the Bill. We can safeguard the people against that risk. Why walk into this danger with our eyes open when we have the opportunity to ward off that danger? The Prime Minister admits that the Protectorates may be incorporated in the future. We are standing here with the South-West Africa question pending, and the South-West natives will also ask for representation, and later, instead of there being six representatives we may have 26 here. The people of South Africa ask that serious consideration should first be given to this matter. It is a question of vital importance to European civilisation in South Africa, and if we simply take up the attitude that things must run then course, what will the general public say about such an attitude? We have the opportunity to shape our course in another direction. I say that we are placing something on our conscience which is very big, and I am certain that we shall be brought to account by the people if we permit such a risk to be taken. I cannot imagine for a moment that there is a single member on the other side of the House who can subscribe to that policy of the Prime Minister, because I regard it as a reckless policy. It is a policy which is aimed at handing over our European civilisation, lock, stock and barrel, to the coloured races in the country. We on this side are not prepared to take that risk, and therefore we protest through these amendments, and we say that the people will pass judgment on this attitude we have taken up.
I am really sorry that the Prime Minister sees no prospect of withdrawing this legislation. The argument has been advanced here that there is no danger at the moment. It reminds me of a man walking in a stream of water which is about to come down in flood. He walks in up to his middle and he cannot swim. At the moment there is no danger, but when the river comes down he will be drowned. Why should we sit in the stream? It is not necessary. Almost three centuries have elapsed since European civilisation gained a footing in this country, and it has remained European. Why? Because the non-Europeans have been kept to one side and because the non-Europeans have not had the franchise. Now we are occupied in giving them that right. It is the first sound of the death knell of white civilisation in this country. We know that if they are accorded the franchise it is not merely a question of franchise that is concerned, but they will lay claim to further rights in every sphere. In the business sphere the Indian is today an absolute nightmare to all of us.
Order, order. The hon. member is now carrying on a second reading debate. He must return to the clause or to the amendments.
I am dealing with the clause, and I am trying to show that our social security is menaced by the franchise we are here giving to the Indian.
The principle has already been approved.
We are now allowing those Indian representatives to have a say in connection with the social security of our Europeans. Not only will we be squeezed out of business by the Indians, but out of every sphere, because these people who are going to sit here to represent the Indians will demand the same rights for the Indians as the Europeans how possess, and the longer they sit here the more they will demand, and eventually we will be faced with a problem that we shall no longer have the say in this House, and then I fear the death knell will sound clearly over white civilisation in this country. I therefore wish to make an appeal to the Prime Minister to see whether he cannot so amend the Bill that the Indians will not have the right to vote on every occasion but only when their interests are affected.

Amendment accordingly negatived.
Clause, as printed, put and agreed to.
I am not moving any amendment, but I want to suggest to the Prime Minister that the same alterations take place in sub-section (3) as was agreed to in the other clause. It merely has the effect of making the term of office coincide with the term of the Provincial Council.
My hon. friend will understand that the same reason does not apply here.
I know that.
The Government can be put out by a vote of this House, but the executive committee is an entrenched body and is not put out by the vote of anyone, so it does not matter. There is no parity of reasoning or parity of facts at all, and there is no reason to make any such amendment. We have done quite enough work already. Let us leave that alone.
Clause put and agreed to.
On clause 49,
I want to move an amendment to this clause as follows—
The effect of that amendment will be that those who are put on the voters’ roll for election of members for the Provincial Council will be ineligible for election to the Provincial Council. As the clause stands at present, Indians will be eligible for election to the Provincial Council of Natal, and I need hardly say that there is a wave of objection in Natal to Indians being eligible for election to the Provincial Council. If they must be represented, let them be represented by Europeans in the same way as they are being represented in this House.
Hear, hear.
I hope that the Rt. Hon. the Prime Minister will realise the earnestness of the objection to these Indians being made eligible to sit in the Provincial Council of Natal. For the life of me I cannot see why, if they are to have European representatives in the Senate and in the House of Assembly they should be given the right to be elected to the Provincial Council of Natal. Natal is bearing a heavy burden in this. The Europeans in Natal are saddled with the whole of the responsibility of this Bill and I think that in a case of this sort the Rt. Hon. the Prime Minister may graciously concede the point I have made.
I should like to know what the effect of this amendment will be, whether only Europeans may sit in the Provincial Council of Natal. If this is not so then I should like to put such an amendment.
It seems to me we are legislating without taking into account the circumstances as far as the province of Natal is concerned. There is no representation there even for the natives, who are a much more deserving class as regards their numbers and as regards their prior rights. They are the aboriginal inhabitants of that part of the world, and if there is going to be representation, certainly the natives ought to come first. When representation was given to the natives in the Senate it was given on a basis on which the votes of all the tribes, of all the communities, were taken into consideration and they were given some sort of voice, perhaps not as effective a voice as if they were given an individual vote, but certainly the Senator who represents the natives of Natal has a claim to represent the whole of the communities embraced in the native population, something over a million. But now a small section of the Indians are being given this representation. At the present moment I do not think any man would venture to hazard the number of Indians in Natal. The hon. member for Durban (North) (Rev. Miles-Cadman) stated the other day what he considered the maximum to be. It is evident, however, that the terms of the franchise are to be made more attractive for the early comers, this being a four months’ qualification whereas later on it is to be raised to six months. It seems to me that the suggestion of the hon. member for Natal South Coast (Mr. Neate) will avoid the natives saying: We are overlooked and ignored in regard to representation in the Provincial Council, but an Indian is allowed to become a member of the Provincial Council and we are not even allowed to vote for any member. The proposal in the Bill is going to cause a great deal of heartburn and I hope that the Rt. Hon. the Prime Minister will agree with the hon. member for South Coast.
We shall, of course, vote against this section as it stands, because from the outset we have fought against nonEuropeans being allowed in the Natal Provincial Council. Consequently, we shall vote against this clause. The hon. member’s amendment does not go far enough. He wishes that in future the persons newly enrolled on the Indian voters’ roll will not be permitted to sit in the Natal Provincial Council. He is, however, preserving the status quo so that those Indians who are on the voters’ roll may be elected to the Provincial Council. Therefore, his amendment does not go far enough. This clause affects the whole principle of non-Europeans in the Provincial Council. As far as Natal is concerned, it has never been carried into effect. Natal knows nothing of the sort. It is a new thing as far as concerns the Natal Provincial Council. In the Cape Province you have the position that a non-European can sit in the Provincial Council, and one would have thought that the position had been so pegged down that we should say that that is going far enough and that we shall not go any further. On this side we say that this has already gone too far and that we shall take that position into review. Members on the opposite side, however, are not only not prepared to stabilise the position in the Cape Province, but they now want to extend it to another Provincial Council. White South Africa resents this. it is already bad enough that non-Europeans may sit in the Cape Provincial Council. Do not admit them to the Provincial Council of Natal as well. That is uncalled for. The Prime Minister used the argument of the status quo. It seems to me the Asiatics are not asking for this. They do not want it. It will neither add nor detract from their position if this provision is deleted. The argument used by the Prime Minister that he has taken away certain rights and that therefore he should give a quid pro quo does not hold water. The Asiatics do not want it. In all the agitation we have had on the part of the Asiatics, they have on no occasion asked for this. The Europeans do not want it, so who is the Prime Minister placating? The Prime Minister is granting something for which these people have not asked, and he is giving something which sets up an injustice towards the Europeans, namely, the extension of the power of the non-Europeans in the legislative bodies of the country. No future Government will consider itself bound by his action. No, instead of extending this principle to Natal, we should rather curtail the position in the Cape as far as the non-Europeans in the Provincial Council are concerned.
Question put: That the words “(under this Chapter or otherwise)” in lines 24 and 25, proposed to be omitted, stand part of the clause,

Clause, as printed, accordingly agreed to.
On clause 50,
I move—
I presume the Prime Minister proposes that under clause 50 the period should be extended from six months to twelve months.
Yes.
I should like to ask the Prime Minister whether it is not possible for this period to be further prolonged, say to 18 months, and that for this reason: The life of this Parliament expires at the end of 1947. Supposing a general election has to take place in the middle of 1947. Then the result will be that three Indian representatives will be sitting in this House for a couple of months and then the general election will take place and then they will have to go home and a further election will have to be held. It is a fact. The life of this Parliament may be slightly extended but under the law it cannot be extended too long, and seeing that the life of this Parliament expires at the end of 1947 this brings us to the middle of 1947 only if the period is extended for twelve months. Will it not be better to allow the government of the day to extend the period further in its discretion? Would it not be better to give the Prime Minister the right under the Bill to extend it? If he makes it twelve months he is pinned down, and he must agree to the first elections taking place in twelve months. The Prime Minister knows that on 1st May we will have a general census. It will take months before the result of that census is known and before it is entirely worked out so that everyone will know what the population figure is. He must also remember that new voters’ rolls are being prepared, but I think my first reason is the strongest, namely that these people should not have to sit here merely for a couple of months and then have to return home to hold another election.
I have taken this point into consideration and we can set it right under the Bill so that the first election of the Indian representatives should not take place immediately before the parliamentary election.
It states here “not later than twelve months”.
The clause reads—
So we can put the chapter into effect having regard to the circumstances.
You cannot tell us now what the intention is in connection with this matter?
No, because I do not know when the next parliamentary elections will take place. I agree with the point that the hon. member mentioned in his speech, that we should not have these three members elected just before the parliamentary elections because it will simply mean a double election for them. This point has been taken into consideration and it will be arranged.
Mr. Chairman, I want to ask the Hon. Prime Minister whether he is satisfied that the length of time mentioned here is sufficient; whether it should be lengthened, or whether it should be shortened? There is often danger in delay, and we had a demonstration of that a few minutes ago when the hon. member for Aliwal (Capt. G. H. F. Strydom) engaged me in conversation and delayed me when I was on the point of crossing over to the other side of the House to vote against the amendment of the hon. member for South Coast (Mr. Neate), thus causing Mr. Chairman to order me to resume my seat. I would like to ask the Prime Minister whether in the circumstances the delay is not too long. There is a danger in delay as I have illustrated. I was delayed in voting on an amendment and compelled to vote in an opposite direction to my intention. I want to have the opportunity of saying that the suggestion by some members of the House that it was deliberate intent on the part of the hon. member for Aliwal North in so engaging me in conversation is quite erroneous, because it was not his intention, and it is unfortunate that he deferred me from crossing the House to vote against the amendment.
The hon. member has had his opportunity of explaining; he should be satisfied. The time given in my amendment will be quite suitable.
Clause, as amended, put and agreed to.
On clause 51,
I move—
Agreed to.
Clause, as amended, put and agreed to.
On clause 52,
I move—
Agreed to.
Clause, as amended, put and agreed to.
On clause 54,
May I point out to the Prime Minister that under the new electoral law quite a number of new regula tions are being made. I hope that when the new regulations are known they will be brought into conformity with these regulations. When the Prime Minister goes to the Other Place with these regulations the regulations will be more or less completed as far as the electoral law is concerned, and it will be necessary that the two sets should be made to conform.
That will be done.
Clause put and agreed to.
On Clause 56,
Mr. Chairman, I wish to move the following amendment—
There is a provision in an earlier clause of the Bill which lays down an interval of six months, and it seems to me that with all the machinuery that has been put into motion, the registration of the voters who will probably be unwilling to take part if the policy of non-co-operation is successful, i.e. on the part of the Indians, we shall probably have quite a considerable period before any election can take place. In addition, I hope the Rt. Hon. the Prime Minister will give some consideration to the very large body of opinion there is in the Provinces of Natal and the Transvaal against this new principle for the representation in Parliament of Indians, which is probably a more advantageous method than that in which the natives — the aboriginal inhabitants — are recognised. I hope, Sir, in view of the fact that the European electors in these Provinces have not had an opportunity of expressing their opinion, that the matter will be delayed for that reason and the other reasons I have given, to the extent of the eighteen months which I propose in my amendment.
I have just explained to the hon. member for Moorreesburg (Mr. F. C. Erasmus) why this amendment is unnecessary. He raised the same point under clause 50. Under clause 50 an amendment was moved that the elections should not be held before twelve months after this chapter comes into force. The hon. member will see that under clause 56 it is left entirely free for the Government to decide what date it will be brought into force, and the Government is going to use its own judgment in view of the whole situation, and of the general election coming off in about two years’ time, or thereabouts, and it is therefore unnecessary to have this amendment. Two years is quite sufficient time for the Government within which to decide when these elections will take place. I think the law as it stands entirely meets the position which the hon. member has in view.
I wish to move an amendment to this clause as follows—
The reason I have moved this here is obvious. We have here a very important matter. It is these two provinces which are most effected by the legislation we are here adopting. It is a national matter; it is a Union matter, but one cannot escape the fact that this legislation has particular reference to those two provinces, and it has reference to them in a very exceptional way, because it affects the property rights of persons in those two provinces. We are here dealing with provisions of the law that encroach on the private rights of private individuals. You may have a case of land on which there was a prohibition against it being sold to or occupied by an Asiatic. With a statutory stroke of the pen that servitude which implies an increase in the value of that property is struck out of the title, and the value of that property is decreased to the owner.
It is done under Chapter I, is that not so?
Yes.
And your amendment refers only to Chapter II.
That is perfectly true. The areas that must be determined fall under Chapter I, that is quite true, but the argument is that this is the quid pro quo that has to be given for what we apparently have taken away from the Indians. That is the argument. I maintain it is a very important innovation. Not only has the right been given to them on the one side for areas to be determined for them so that the rights of private individuals are affected, but on the other side, in the second chapter, particularly as far as regards the Transvaal a right is extended to the Indians which they never enjoyed before, and not only was it never given to them directly, but it is something that they never even had indirectly. It is something to which the people of the Transvaal and the people of Natal attach particular importance, and consequently I feel it would not be right that we should come at this stage and force them to take something in which they have a special interest. What one would rather have seen is a referendum right through the country on this matter, because on this side of the House we have always regarded this as a matter which should not be a party matter; it is a question on which Europeans in this country must speak with one voice, and it is a matter which from its very nature should be raised above party politics. This is in fact the attitude that the Leader of the Opposition took in regard to this matter in 1927 and again in 1932. He raised it above party politics. This is in truth the offer that has again been made by this side. The hand was stretched out with an offer to regard this matter in a light superior to party political considerations, but only with an eye on South Africa as a whole. That offer was rejected. The Prime Minister was not prepared to accept that offer to deal with this matter on a plane above that of party politics. We say that the best thing to have done under those circumstances if the Prime Minister did not wish to combine the wisdom and the experience of both parties in the House and try to consolidate his own ranks, the ranks of the European section—the first alternative should have been to throw it open to the will of the people and to have a referendum on this matter. That was the first alternative. It is not possible now at this stage. I also understand that under the rules of the House it is not possible at this stage to propose that there should be a referendum in the two provinces, and consequently we come and say: Let us follow the third best course, namely, that the two provinces which are more intimately concerned with the matter should be given an opportunity through their elected representatives to deal with it. Let us postpone the decisions taken here, the proclamation that will be brought into operation by the second chapter of this Bill, until such time as these two provinces have had an opportunity to say whether they are content with what we have accomplished, more especially affecting them. I think it is a very reasonable and fair proposal I am making, and consequently I should like to submit it. I wish just to read the amendment in English, and then to hand it in.
I regret that I am unable to put the amendment. I can see no difference between a resolution of a Provincial Council and a referendum, at any rate very little difference. I have already given my ruling yesterday on a proposal that a referendum should be held before Chapter II comes into operation.
May I address you on this matter? There is a world of difference between a referendum and an ordinary decision of the Provincial Council. In the first place, because no provision is made in our constitution for a referendum, while a resolution of the Provincial Council represents are act of a normal body through which the State functions. That is the first difference. But I think there is a second and important difference, and it is a practical difference. Should you wish to hold a referendum on a matter today, it takes a considerable time to institute the machinery, but my submission is that a resolution of the two Provincial Councils concerned is something that can be taken in a relatively short time. Special sessions can be convened for the purpose. There are no practical difficulties attached to it as in the case of a referendum, and consequently my submission with all respect is that the analogy of a referendum with a resolution of the Provincial Councils is not in any way applicable.
May I point out to the hon. member that his amendment introduces a new and important principle not contemplated by the House at the second reading of the Bill, and in my opinion there is not a great difference between a referendum and a resolution of the Provincial Council. Consequently, such an amendment can only be moved on an instruction from the House on motion after notice, and I regret that I am unable to put the amendment.
May I point out that it is not proposed here to introduce a new principle into the Bill, because this proposal is simply that before the proclamation is promulgated certain resolutions should be taken by the Provincial Councils concerned. If you refer back to clause 9 (3) you will find there—
Consequently, it is no new principle.
But that is in the Bill
I know, but my standpoint is that seeing that such a principle has already been taken up in the Bill you may not say when it is proposed to insert this in another place that it is a new principle.
What I have intimated is that there must be an instruction to the Committee of the Whole House.
Such an instruction is only necessary if there is something in conflict with the principles of the Bill.
No, the hon. member is wrong. If it is in conflict with the principles of the Bill, neither can I put it, nor can an instruction be given to the Committee of the Whole House.
May I ask, then, on what you base your finding?
On the point on which I gave my decision yesterday, namely, that a referendum can only be proposed if there is an instruction to the Committee of the whole House.
On what grounds?
Because it is an important principle, a new and important principle.
But if your finding is that this is something new and important I maintain that we are not dealing here with anything new or important because it is a principle that has already been adopted in clause 9.
It is something new in this chapter.
But not in the Bill.
The clause to which the hon. member refers, namely clause 9 (3) is part of the Bill, and that principle was before the House at the second reading.
I assume you have now decided that you cannot accept this amendment.
Yes.
May I, with all respect, have the ruling of the Speaker on the point? I move—
Agreed to.
House Resumed:
Mr. SPEAKER in the Chair.
The CHAIRMAN stated the point which had arisen in Committee and that the Committee desired to obtain Mr. Speaker’s ruling thereon, and that he had accordingly been ordered to report progress and ask leave to sit again.
An appeal has been made to me against a ruling given by the Chairman of Committees. I am aware that such appeals have frequently been allowed in the past but I have given careful consideration to the question as to whether such appeals ought to be made and would like to draw attention to two decisions which were given by Mr. Speaker Jansen in declining to interfere with the authority of the Chairman.
In the first decision Mr. Speaker Jansen said—
In the second decision he said—
These decisions were in accordance with S.O. 88 and May, 11th ed., pp. 385 and 621 and I entirely agree with them. There may be occasions on which the Chairman and the Committee may wish for the guidance of Mr. Speaker but ultimately the Chairman is responsible to the House itself and there should be no appeal to Mr. Speaker against decisions that have been given in Committee.
On the point raised I have therefore no remarks to offer.
If you will permit me I wish merely to say this, that the ruling you have now given is in reference to the application of section 88 of the Standing Rules and Orders. Section 88 deals with the maintenance of order in the Committee of the whole House. This does not deal with cases, such as that now in point, which are submitted to you for decision, as to whether a certain amendment falls within the scope of the Bill and within the compass of what may be decided by the Committee of the whole House. I think an analogy would be if a Bill was referred to a Select Committee and the chairman of the Select Committee ruled an amendment out of order. Then the Select Committee, or a member of the Select Committee, might invoke the decision of the Speaker on whether it is relevant, and I think what is happening here is entirely analogous with that position. It is not a question of the maintenance of order but the question is whether the amendment falls within the field of what can be decided by a Committee of the whole House.
I think the hon. member is under a misapprehension. “Maintenance of order” as used in S.O. 88 is a term which applies to every aspect of Parliamentary procedure. It does not apply merely to the maintenance of the rules of good conduct.
May I, with your leave, direct attention to the fact that in the finding you have now read out you have referred to two rulings and you have said: There are naturally occasions when it is indeed possible to appeal to the Speaker, namely when the Chairman of the Committee wishes to be enlightened by the Speaker in connection with a point. This point that I have mentioned was immediately accepted by the Chairman and adopted by the Committee without a discordant voice. From that I must deduct that the instance in connection with which an appeal to you has now been made is covered by the exception to the rule which you read out, namely instances where the Chairman of the Committee of the whole House and the Committee desires to obtain your guidance. You will see from the document you have read out that there may be opportunities when the Chairman of the Committee wishes your guidance. Such instances are apparently the exceptions to the general rule, and I appeal now under the exceptions in terms of your ruling.
I understand that the Chairman has already given his decision to the Committee.
As Chairman of Committees might I say that I did not appeal to Mr. Speaker for his guidance. I have already given my ruling and it is on an appeal against my ruling tha† Mr. Speaker was called in.
May I point out that there is no sense then in appealing to the Speaker. It should immediately be ruled out of order. It seems to me, with all respect, that it is a farce if we ask for an appeal to the Speaker and invoke his decision, only to find immediately that he cannot deal with the matter at all. Then the Chairman, while he still had charge in Committee, should have said that he could not accept the motion.
That is the very point Mr. Speaker Jansen made abundantly clear. He said—
The Chairman has already given his ruling in Committee.
The point is that here an appeal was allowed. The Chairman allowed it and the Committee approved it. I can thus only assume that it is regarded as a case where the Chairman seeks the guidance of the Speaker, and I think it is a case that falls under the exceptions he mentioned. Otherwise there should be no appeal. My submission is, with all respect, that although this is a general rule, that there should be no appeal from the Chairman to the Speaker, there are certain instances when the Chairman and the Committee agree to ask your ruling. Then it may of course be done. These are the exceptions. This has nothing to do with the question whether the Chairman of the Committee has already given his ruling, because the appeal is only of course against the decision of the Chairman of the Committee. Before he has given his ruling no appeal is possible in connection with his ruling.
Mr. Speaker, with very great respect, may I say that I agree with what has been said by the hon. member for Fauresmith (Dr. Dönges) in regard to the circumstances under which a decision of the Speaker shall be asked for, and I fully understood—and I think hon. members in this part of the House will support me in saying so—that the Chairman had given a ruling. We understood the Chairman had given a ruling and with great respect the hon. member for Fauresmith (Dr. Dönges) sought that the ruling of Mr. Speaker should be obtained. I have been a long time in the House, and I must say it would stagger me to hear there is no appeal against the decision of the Chairman. I may be wrong, but I have a recollection of instances from time to time in which there has been an appeal to Mr. Speaker. I am not demurring in any way. Many of us are exceedingly dense people; I am one of them. I am not in any way demurring to your ruling whatever the decision may be; I am merely saying that the doctrine that there is no appeal against the Chairman’s ruling seems to me a heresy, and I regret it very much as one who is an admirer of the institution of Parliament. We are indeed lost if that is the position as laid down today.
I too have been in the House some time, and I too have often sat under a ruling of the Chairman of the Committee of the whole House, and I have heard individual members get up and make a request that the Chairman of Committees report progress for the purpose of taking the Speaker’s decision on the point raised, and in every instance the Speaker has come back, and at no time has Dr. Jansen said there should be no appeal from the Chairman’s ruling. On that, too, I think the House is in agreement. The fact that the Chairman accepted the resolution to report progress for the purpose of taking the Speaker’s ruling is in effect an admission of the right of members to report progress so that the Chairman may ask Mr. Speaker to decide on the issue raised by his ruling. So I think it is correct that hon. members should have the right to challenge the ruling of the Chairman of Committees for the purpose of taking the Speaker’s ruling. We reported progress in order that you, Sir, might determine whether the Chairman’s ruling was correct or not, and if you were just blindly to say: I am not interested in the issue that was raised between the Chairman and the hon. member who moved the amendment and whose amendment was ruled out of order, because I am prepared at all times irrespective of the issue raised and whether in my opinion the Chairman of Committees is wrong or not to support the Chairman of Committees—I feel it would be a very grave departure from the rights and privileges of members of this House. I feel that you, as Speaker, having come here should consider and determine whether in your opinion the issue you have been sent for to decide is a correct one or not, and the géneral question of whether you are at all times free to correct a ruling given by the Chairman of the Committee of the whole House is really not before the House at all.
Apparently you have now departed from your ruling that you will not give a decision on the matter. I ask then with all deference that you will hear me before you give a decision.
No, I only referred to the principle on which the previous Speaker gave his ruling. On page 385, May states in “Parliamentary Practice”—
May I say that this is not a point of order. It is a point of relevancy of a certain amendment.
The hon. member is mistaken. A question of relevancy is a point of order. “Order”, as I said before, does not apply merely to the rules of good conduct. As May points out in the passage quoted, the Chairman is responsible “for the conduct of business” in committee.
May I point out that the argument has been advanced that this is something that requires an instruction. An instruction is necessary when there is an extension of a provision. In this case it is not the extension of a provision. It is a restriction, a postponement to a certain date. The ground on which the Chairman stated an instruction is necessary does not apply here, because we are not dealing with the extension of a provision, but with a curtailment, and consequently my submission is that an instruction to the Committee is not necessary. As I have stated, I do not know whether you want to go into the merits of the case. If you say that the standpoint taken by the Chairman is correct, or rather if you say that if you give a decision you must say that the Chairman is correct, then I ask with all respect that you will hear me before you say that.
I am not prepared to give a further decision on the matter, because May and the decision of Speaker Jansen are clear.
You are not prepared to give any decision on the matter?
The Chairman has the right to decide whether anything is in order if it occurs in Committee.
What is the purpose of the Chairman reporting progress and asking leave to sit again but to get your ruling?
I have tried to indicate that order in Committee is enforced by the Chairman, who is responsible for the conduct of all its proceedings, and that from his decision no appeal shall be made to the Speaker.
May I suggest that is in the ordinary course of debate; and, with all deference to yourself, may I suggest directly we go into Committee there is, under your ruling, no higher authority in this Parliament than the Chairman. We see no point whatever in calling upon the Chairman to consult you if in every instance you declare that the Chairman is responsible.
When the House is in Committee the Chairman is in charge, and he is responsible to that Committee. He is in sole charge, and is ultimately responsible to the House itself.
Mr. SPEAKER left the Chair.
House in Committee:
The Chairman stated Mr. Speaker’s ruling to the Committee.
On a point of order, I would ask you to be good enough to reconsider your decision, especially in view of the fact that an amendment was moved by the hon. member for Vryheid (Dr. Steenkamp) which makes a proclamation dependent on a resolution of both Houses after three years.
I cannot allow the hon. member to revert to a previous clause. If he argues that I have allowed something that I should not have allowed it is a reflection on the Chair. I am sorry, but I have given my ruling.
You are not prepared to reconsider your ruling?
No.
It is a pity.
Mr. Chairman, you said that we were making a reflection on the Chair in having stated you allowed something you should not have allowed. This is not the case. We agree that what you did was right, and because it was right we ask you to do so again.
The hon. member should have raised that then.
How could we have raised it because we agreed with you?

Amendment accordingly negatived.
Clause, as printed, put and agreed to.
Clause 57 put and agreed to.
On new clause 37,
The Committee reverted to new clause 37 standing over.
The point was mentioned yesterday by the hon. member for Waterberg (Mr. J. G. Strydom) whether this clause can be carried out administratively without further machinery and whether the register contemplated in this clause can be drawn up. I have in the meantime had an opportunity of discussing the matter with the department, and they assure me it can be done. It is purely an administrative question for which they can make the necessary arrangements departmentally to put the register into order. There is, however, a small verbal alteration that must be made here. It is purely a verbal alteration, but owing to the hurried way in which this legislation has been dealt with it is better not to move it now but when we come to the report stage. It has already been printed as it stands here, and it must remain at that. But in regard to the point mentioned by the hon. member for Waterberg, I am perfectly satisfied, as is the department, that the register can be brought into order in a purely administrative way without any legislative arrangement in this Bill.
New clause put and agreed to.
On the Schedule,
I cannot do otherwise than vote against the Schedule and for this reason. In principle I am not opposed to separate areas being created for Indians. On the contrary, it is the basis of our whole policy that there should be separation of Europeans and Indians. But I cannot vote for this Schedule because so far as I can learn it does not afford those people whose interests are effected an opportunity to put their position. The determination of the areas in the Schedule can encroach on people’s rights. So far as I know it may happen that some of these areas that are made exempted areas here should never have been exempted. I would only say that already objections have come from various quarters in Natal and from people who are not opposed to separate areas but in favour of separate areas. I presume the Prime Minister has received the objection from the Dutch Reformed Church in Durban, who take the strongest exception to the fact that the way the areas are being determined it will have a most detrimental effect on the church property. Therefore until such time as the people who are affected by the determination of these areas have an opportunity to place their side of the matter before the Government or the House I cannot vote for this Schedule, and accordingly I am in favour of deleting this Schedule.
Mr. Chairman, there is an amendment standing in my name. I do not want to waste the time of the House arguing it if it is not necessary. It seems to me by the Prime Minister’s own amendment to clause 9 certain restitution is made for the secret, speedy and very arbitrary manner in which these boundaries were first drawn. But without a reassurance from the Prime Minister, I am not satisfied that this amendment must necessarily meet the needs with regard to areas 13 and 14. I merely want to be told what exactly is the consequence of these words. I quote from the amendment—
I want to know whether that may be applied to the whole of the present open area, whether it may be entirely changed, or whether only a small partial change may be made.
The size of the area is not referred to, whether small or large.
Then the whole of areas 13 and 14 may fall within the terms of the amendment I have quoted?
Yes.
I would like to ask the Prime Minister if under this section an opportunity will be given to any owners of land defined in this schedule to make representations to the board with a view to excising some portion and choosing another.
Yes,, that is its very object.
I hope in connection with certain properties in these schedules that the Rt. Hon. the Prime Minister will allow representations to be made in which it can be proved that they were predominantly European areas up to the Pegging Act when these boundaries were altered. For that reason I am most anxious that several of these areas should be deleted, and I propose to move the deletion of some of these areas, but if we have the assurance of the Prime Minister that further consideration will be given to these boundaries, I think under the circumstances we will have to be satisfied with that assurance. I feel very doubtful about some of these boundaries in Durban, because they affect the area I have the honour to represent. I had a case brought to my attention only this afternoon of property along the Esplanade in Durban, almost next to the Durban Club, which Indians tried to get possession of by trickery. They put up a dummy to purchase this property for £22,500 and in order to endeavour to bring home to the Prime Minister the seriousness of this position, I would like to read a letter I have just received this afternoon in connection with this property. This gentleman, a Mr. T. Trevor, of 8, Quadrant House, Esplanade, Durban, states in the course of his letter—
