Professor D. I). T. Jabavu,President,

All African Convention,Port Iare, a l i o a, C«P.

My dear Professor,

I regret that T have taken so long before re­plying to your good letter of August 12th 1943; but it

¥ .vt f .( f c « W ,U V .)} ,a s owing to many things some beyond my control.

You state that "Members of the All African Convention have been asking me what Is the relationship of the Convention referred to to the All African Con­vention itself? Ifoes this proposed Convention recognise the All African Contention?"

The Convention referred to, as you apparently understood, is an ad ooc Convention on toe present

"African Charter", "Bill of Rights" or"R econstruction Programme". It is not a permanent body.

The All African Convention is recognised as a permanent body that should particlnate by sending dele­gates to the Ad TIoc Convention mentioned a b o v e .

1,, As the question arose from the Presidential Address of the African National Congress, It would bepresumtive of us to expect the All African Conventionto accept responsibility for something that orginated

from elsewoere.

however, to make toe move national, we oave

establisned a Committee including all members of the Native Representative Council; 'leads of Teachers Asso­ciations; Representatives of Trade Unions and others

who are not specially members of the Congress; but are prominent leaders in the country. Tn ->ther words, al- though,, the Congress Is the originator and convenor of the "Charter" Committee and Convention, both the Commi­

ttee and the Convention wil] appoint their own Chrirman and Secretary.What the Congress is anxious about is that the Afrlean neople have a' case of their own on the Post-War Reconstruction.

With kind regards,

Yours sincerely,

P RES1 D M T- GEN &RAL.

new members and money, will you olease allow ms to have some

more chance of recriuting more members so that sum and the

Dear Doctor Xuma,

Today I have received your kind letter of the 16th instant in reply to mine of

12th August.

I am thankful for the clearness of your reply apprising me that the Convention

you refer to in your circular of 22nd March is an ad hoc Convention without reference

to the All African Convention.

Under the circumstances of my position as President of the All African Convention

it is my obvious duty to suspend all action on my part at this preliminary stage

until the results of this ad hoc Convention are brought to the stage of national status

by being submitted, i f at all they will be submitted, to the All African Convention

which is the all-inclusive organisation established in 1935 f °r such purposes.

21st September 194-3

My dear Secretary-General, 21st September, C 3

I 'rad wanted to write you previously; but because it was difficult to get contact with the Treasurer and settle the accounts, I postponed writing until I ''onld be able to settle this account which is long overdue.

I am enclosing herewith the cheque for the state­ment received.

Rev.J \ Calata ) You, no doubt, know by now from presr reports that

P.o!cradock C,P .f ^ e Presl den t-General is administering the Transvaal Pro-* * vince and that there a meeting set for election of the

President of the Transvaal on the 3rd October. Things are very promising as a result of talcing over by the Na­tional; but time - eight weeks - has been to^fehort to make i t possible for us to do effective wor<j so much so that many people are already suteestinfc toat it would have been better i f toe National were to lold toe reins for the Pro­vince until after the annual conference, as they feel that

would five reasofcable time for the affairs of toe Province

to be put in order. I am sure, however, that mn.ny of the people who enjoy divisions will fight that on bsFis of narrow nationalism and personal interest.

You will Ve rleaFed to know th^t Revs. Mp4teo and Mahrbane of toe Wesleyan church are very much lnte- ested in the affairs of Congress rnd are strongly in favour of the suggestion made ab-ive.

We are also making real progress financially for the movement. Vile have more than covered the £ for £ basis

wfiich was required by the Bantu vVelfare Trust and should,

toerefore, get £100 from toem. Colonel Donaldson, theiJonor of toe Bantu Welfare Trust and of a new and bigger Trust which has not yet been advertised, oar written me

stating that oe oad sent £300 to the Trust to be forwarded to toe African Nr-tlonal Congress.

We are planning to open nn office F-^n as the Move­ment has been critlwS^nd and is being undermined for havif^

no Headquarters with a public office. The matter become* urgent because a new movement styling itself as the ’’African Democratic P^rty" has come to

the f i M d led by Mosska; b>t nt the back of it our Senator. It is tending to cause confusion among the people that we m<°an to fight it and we cannot succeed unlesr we spend money in office accommodation, organisation and propaganda among the people.

We are organising the Transvaal and I ara sure it will be stronger at Conference time.

I feel toat toe Cape should not only be strongly organised; but soould send a strong contingent of delegates to the Confer­ence, as tols Democratic Prrty, toe National Helping land Association of Bennett Ncwana and other disrupting and disruptive movements might appear

on the scene to unsent toepresent leadership of CongreFF.

(P .T .O .) I must./........

I must get a report immediately for all tie tickets sent to the Gap so toat 1 rnay benin a position to give your Province more tickets, i f they nre organising. I fear very muco that there seems to be little

activity judging by the fact that ast requests ►lave been made for more

tickets, and toe number of tickets we galve you we consider not enough to serve our aim of a million members. In fact, 300 tickets or so are enough for only one branch, Rnd I am very anxious that the Cape show a positive interest by having a number of effective branches. I am expecting a great deal of opjjosltion at the Conference, that is why we should be up and doinf

Mrs. Xuma is planning and trying to make arrangements to take part of her Cast for the production of the piny to Bloemfontein and Kimberley.1 should think that the date of the Presidential Recepti->n be used for toe production of the play. v*

For sometime 1 hod wanted to write you; but did not

feel tost 1 could send off toe letter without sending the cheque for your travelling expenses to toe Executive Extraordinary. The difficulty was that two people have

I was glad you were able to attend the Executive,and

I am glad to say that Congress affairs are lmorovlng in toe Transvaal and the membership campaign I p progressing.

I wonder what the Cape Is doing. Things seem quiet and yet I am very anxious that we show better reports in membership and finances to Indicate progress. I , there­fore, hope thnt y->u will exert yourself even at this late

Mr. Gilbert W.Xala,

My dear Mr. Xala,

I thank you for your communication of the 20th September.

J«A.Calata,) new pnrty indicates lack of vision and dis-P.0.0rad''''k ,C.i .< intergrating forces on the part of would be leaders.

Tie Congress is in a stronger position and is working more effectively than ever before, Tence the >—* relaxation of the Pass Laws and the principle of incre­ments - though in adequate - on teachers1 salaries;

good service allownnces and principals’ allowances. Ever

toe 3d. on Soldiers’ pay was a result of a case put up by the African National Congress, although that Party had demanded the improvement of the Coloured and Indian

scale and the fixing of a uniform equal scalp of pay and allowances for all Non-EUror> ears serving in the army and, on principle, that all privates attesting for service

should receive equal pay irrespective of colour. flflfl

We realise that Congress could do better and moi>. | effective work and that leaders of the new Party were parties to the disunity and quarrels. Some of them have

failed in toe leadership of otner organisations as well as In Congress and tofcir abandonment of Congress is asign of weakness and something that encourages disunity jthan unity.

They show a lack of vision and most of the Manifes­

to is cheap talk and a borrowing of the Policy on which which Congress has bern operating.

Unfortunately, the so called signatories to the Manifesto of the new Party seem to be acting under direc­

tion and not wholely on their own. ’Pie whole thing is opportunism and an

(P .T .O .) attem p t /. . . .

to gain leadership in a new movement since there seems to be no chance capturing the l ^d ersM - p ^f m e old movement.

Yours sincerely,
