RACIAL EQUALITY ASSOCIATION
Resolution Against Discrimination
“The Eichmann trial is a solemn reminder of what racial discrimination means when carried out to its logical conclusion,” said a resolution passed at a meeting of the Canterbury Association for Racial Equality. “Not by reason of opportunity in war or crimes committed, but solely because of their race, more than six million Jewish persons suffered death at the hands of a self-constituted master race. This must not happen again and we call on all people of like mind to join us*in our watching brief against all practice of racial discrimination,” said the resolution. The meeting decided that a sub-committee would be set up by the association to investigate and bring down a report on the conditions and policies of immigration in New Zealand and the exclusion of coloured persons from New Zealand. Arising from this report, action would be taken by the association. A tentatively-worded resolution on the forthcoming New Zealand cricket tour of South Africa was withheld until the New Zealand Cricket Council had had opportunity to reply.
