Native Labour in South Africa.
A SHORTAGE. CAPETOWN, Feb. 10. The South African Native Affairs Commission estimates the shortage of native labour at 307,528, and recommends a form of taxation preventing squatting and the delimitation of a final area for reserves and separate native constituencies for each State. LONDON, Feb. 11. The Times’ Johannesburg correspondent says a more thoroughgoing scheme for giving an immediate choice between tribal conditions and life under European influences would lead many natives to accept European conditions and with them the necessity for earning a living. Earl Spencer’s undertaking to stop Chinese immigration after the existing contracts are concluded is variously commented on. Some newspapers consider it probable that an early grant of representative government would interfere, in any case, with the redemption of his pledge.
