Received Tuesday, 10.10 a.m. JOHANNESBURG, Sept. 6. The leading TTansvaal Government newspaper Transvaler suggests -that the New Zealand Rugby Union's tour of South Africa should be cancelled in view of the statements by the Dominion president. of ther R.S.A., Major-General Sir Howard Kippenberger, criticising the decision to exclude Maoris from the All Blacks' tour. i The article says that in view of the General's "insulting remarks," fche matter is no longer one for football authorities only, but has assumed wider aspects. Die Berger says: "The decision to invite only white All Blacks is in the interests of the Maoris themselves. We cannot imagine thiey would find the tour enjoyable. The Maoris would find how different things were in South Africa compared with New Zealand."
