One of them was a leading political figure in the GrahamstownANC branch. In fact he was oncea member of the Executive. Is henow the bitter enemy of any poljtical movement because he lost hisseat on the executive before theANC was banned?
During the recent bus boycottthis man plaved a leading role intrying to sabotage the people'ssoldarity and claimed that the organisers of the bus boycott were"small bovs" and young frustratedagitators. But the bovcott was a100 o~ succes s. The people stoodbv the "small boys,"

I am one of the "cranks" whobelieve in the abolition of thesavagery of corporal punishment.They 've used the whip so oftenfor other crimes yet these days it'sbeing used against democrats forpolitical torture.
According to one of our BAD(really BAD) officials 1,600 'Bantu'voted in favour of public floggings(similar to public hangings exceptflogging is more of a humiliation).But the village has a 20,000 population! We know what Government-sponsored "voting" means.
I cannot understand how nurses-who serve and protect thepeople against illness-could havebeen so savagely beaten. Th is isdownright brutali ty.
Perhaps I have used the word"savagery" too often? Oh, NO!

• A revolutionary process hasvariou s stages with no grea t wallbetween th em an d the country hasmoved int o the phas e heading towards socialism.
• The origina l revolution asstate d by scientific socialists here ,as an advance d popula r revo lu-
tion, patriotic and agrarian, wascorrect. Tb e revolution has movedon to complete its histo ric tasksin this ph ase.
• The advances were made bya coali tion of the basic class intoday's society, the working classin alliance WIth the greatest partof the peasantry, the poorest andmajo ri ty sectors, plus the radic alcity middle class.
• Hist ory requires a consciousvanguard to lead the people, andthat was pr ovided by men likeF idel Cas tro and his associates ofthe July 26th Move ment, aided byother re volutio nary groups likethe Popul ar Socialist Pa rty.
• Ca stro had alrea dy envi sagedthe basic course of development inhis famous address to the judges

Interesting Analysis
EVERY reader of thiscolumn knows the name
of Fidel Castro, yet howmany readers know who thepresidents are of any otherLatin American state? So it isthroughout the world. Cas~ro
is revered or hated dependingon the individual's attitude tothings he stands for. Whatsort of a man is Castro, andwhat sort of revolution is itthat he has guided to triumphant success? The debate onthese questions has waxedfuriously. and will continue todo so.
Som e peopl e have no difficultyin describ ing Castro . Th e Amencan Gov ernm ent , for examp le, justas they had no difficulty indescrib ing Batista as th eir bestfri end and tben their wors t enemy,so the y la ter ha d no difficu lty 10
describing Castro as a grea t libe rator. After wards when be libera ted the Cu ban people from landhunger an d the bond age im posedupon ' them by U.S. capital. theyhad no difficulty in calling him adictator and tool of intern ation alcommunism and the Soviet Un ion .
What Kenn edy and co. seem tofai l to a pprecia te is that Castro ,who had shown h is peopl e how tobreak the grip of a foreig n countr y only 70 miles from his own,was hard ly likely to allo w himselfto become the tool of a count rythousands of miles away. Yet thequ estion remai ns: to what extentshould Castro be regarded as acommunist? If anything, the Cu bans say, Castro has used interna tional communism as his tool toassist the Cuban people in fashioning a new and glorious life forthem selves.
The Cuban peo ple obviously re ject the U.S . version of him as adict ator . Th e masses have beenar med-he has no private army top rotect him-yet these arms havebeen used no t to overthrow himbut to defend the revolution a twhose head he sta nds. T he Cubans say that if Castro is a communi st, then so much the worsefor the capi talists and so mu chthe bett er tor communism.

SOMETHING TOREMEM,BER
On March to. 1952, lheUSSR formally proposed to theBi~ Three Western powers theestablishment of an all-Germancovernment to be chosen inelections supervised by theFour Powers,
The State Department dismissed the note as containing"nothing new: ' As a mattcr offact, it was something new andthe reason for dismissing it wasnot its lack of novelty.
The real reason was sugpested bv Russell Hill. NewYork Times correspondent, ina disnatch from Berlin (March23. 1952):
"The United States does notwant free elections in Genna nynow because that would upsetthe a!lTlle cart. The 8!)ples arethe Schuman plan and theFuropean anny. incluilin2 12Gennan divisioD.3 · ."

• Th e population flowfrom Em1 Germany to WestGermany has been going onfor a century and even if EastGermany had not had a communist ~overnment as manypeople would have left theEast for the West as have donesince the war•
• Only abo t 10% of thepeople who have left EastGermany for West Germanyshould be classified as "p olitical refugees."
These are two of the pointsmade by John Mander in the London New Statesman recently, Inthis and other articles Mander liasmade it clear that he is by nomeans sympathetic to the EastGerman regime. On the contrary,in many respects he is extremelyhostile.
"For a century the JH)pulationof Eastern Germany (except Berlin) has been declining," he writes,"and that of West Gennanv hasbeen on the increase. It bas beencalculated that the transfer ofpopulation from East to West, ifno Communist reEime had existed,would have a!JProdm ated to therefugee average (bearing in mindthat althou~h the East has industrialised since the war. the Westhas industrialised much faster) • ••

Motives wereoddly mixed. There were the psychological cases, the girl-runawayfrom-home, the pathological grouser, the boy-from-Leipzig-who-gothis-girl-into-trouble, the squarepeg. the misfit.

German internal relations would be preserved andthe Western Powers would notformally recognise Eastern Germany.

VOICE
'TheObserver,' London
An increasing number of responsible newspapers and magazines have spoken up recently for reason in the treatm ent of theGerman problem, and in particular the question of West Berlin.Here are extra cts from some of these voices of reason: New Agedoes not identify itself with all the opinions expressed:
"First, it may be worth while recalling that the principle ofnegotiation over Berlin is not indispute. Secondly. a closer examination of the proposals already
~:~: a~alcas~~o:ha~hi~' r~~uit~iJfrom the West is not so muchgreater courage as clearer political thinking . ..
"Both sides obviously have littleexpectation of a complete allGerman settlement. Any negotiation would be likely to narrowdown to the status of Berlin. Butthere are two aspects of an allGerman settlement which couldprovide an element in negotiations, They might be used to produce, so to speak, an interimpeace treaty for Germany withinwhich the present status of WestBerlin might be strengthened.These two elements are Germany's frontiers and her militarystatus.
"But in what way could West Berlin's present status be improved?If Mr. Khruschov's purpose is toweaken the Western position inBerlin, why should he make anagreement, which would strengthen it?
"There is, however, less incompatibility of purpose here if oneassumes that Mr. Khruschov's aimis primarily to stabilise his ownposition in Eastern Germany. Theexpulsion of the West from Berlinis not the only way to achievethis, though it would undoubtedlyhelp him. There is not an inevitable clash between some improvement of the We~tern position in Berlin and some strengthening of Eastern Germany's position- unless it is assumed that theWestern aim in West Berlin is notmerely to pro tect the freedom ofits citizens but also to weaken theposition of the East German regime.
"Let us then assume that the essential western aim in West Berlin isto preserve the freedom and independence of its people .. .

The most important decision inJuly was to end racialism in thesoccer set-up, with May 1962 as thedeadline for ending ALL bodieswith racia l tags-even if they already practise full integration.
It is therefore incorrect to say theSoccer Federation is allowing racialism to continue until May 1962.
The Dur ban INDIAN Footb allAssociation has just refused to jointhe Natal body because of the foregoing argument. But perhaps DIFAshould remove its own racial tag?
SAM CHINA TOURNAMENT
Another squabble is about the SamChina Tournament due in Johannesburg next month . It is alleged thatthis will be racial and should bescrapped.
Readers are invited to comment;perhaps they would like to answerthese questions :
• Since the teams taking partwill be drawn from all racial groups(this is an instruction from SAFA),is it true that this must be regardedas an all-Indian Tourn ament ?
• If this tourn ament is removed,what incentive will there be foramateur players at th is stage whichthe administrators must provide?
