Dear Dr. Xuma,

With reference to the representations which the deputation from your Congress made to the Honourable the Minister of Native Affairs at Cape Town during the recent Parliamentary session, I have to inform you that the request made by the depu­tation in regard to better catering facilities for non-European railway passengers has been sympathetically considered by the Reilway Administration, and it is hoped with the introduction of a new service of meals, which took effect from the beginning of April, dining car employees will be in a position to pay more attention to the requirements of non—European railway passengers.

In addition to this, arrangements were recently made for the service of light meals and refreshments to first and second class non-European passengers accommodated in the Reserved saloons, and I am informed that since the introduction of these arrangements very few complaints have been received in regard to unsatisfactory catering services to n o n —European passengers.

Arrangements have also been made to ensure the service of refreshments to non-European passengers travellihg third class.

It may be mentioned that cards in both official languages, informing non-Europeans in Reserved saloons that the service of refreshments will be attended to by the bedding boys to whom orders should be given, are now pasted in such Reserved* saloons and collected afterwards for redistribution on the trains.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Dr. Xuma,

I am in receipt of your letter of 3rd June and I

have discussed the resolution regarding trade unions with. Colonel

Reitz, who desires me to say that he hopes it will be possible

to issue an official statement on the matter soon.

The people must, however, be patient in these matters.

The Department is doing all it can to improve the conditions of

the Natives, but you will appreciate that we must progress step

by step.

Yours sincerely,

Dear President,

our letter enclosing the cheque for £5-19/- has been forwarded to me at Port ilizabe th wnere I am aii present atteno.in

the Synod of the Church of the Province. u~,T rom last Thursday I have been. very* with first the

Church Conference in which I was elected Secretary, and then from Sunday with the Synod in which I am°assistant Secretary.

I have' gone a little further into the matter of the Easter Conference of the Cape s.nd Western Africah Congresses

where the said amalgamation w. s effected.' r. Nikiwe mai .tains that the conference*was unconstituti o

-al because among the two branches represented none had paid its membership fees. e intains *that it was just a matterof 'r. Pendla appointing r. Oliphant the Speaker and alangabi

the Treasurer and so on and no business of any kind was transacte beyong that except the announcement that r. Rau’oenheimer was now -oing to take the place of r. Russel in contesting

he forthcoming elections in the n a m e’of the Congress.In Port Elizabeth I am told that there has never been

a leeting since we were here, and even the branch that existed is practically dead.

" e abolition of Excursions is going to be a difficulty.It is going to be difficult for elegates to a tend conferences I wonder what you thin: we should do.

t would not be a bad idea to call only the E eci tive i sUPpVe this would be opposed. "he Provi nces would

eequire t % * i r full share of the December Conference.Please let me k ow what y-u propose.I had a long talk with "r. Godlo who spent a day at

Cradock the other day. Me feels that until after the electionare over in the Cape there can be no Congress, for Pendla has no following and the people desire to lie low until the- are called

for „an election.of officers.I am very unhappy about the position of the Congress in t

the CapeRemember me to rs uma and family

I wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 4th June, 1942 informing us about toe steps taken since we made representations on this subject, on March 4 to.

I am sure ail Non-Europeans will be pleased to enjoy toe improved catering facilities as suggested.

This should tend to make it a pleasure for a Non-European to tra­vel by rail instead of b^ing haunted ’"ith the f^ar of g M n g l^ng jouroies without food or being instil ted for asking fo-r jt.

A My Congress and the African people in reneral d- appreciate the^£?rsat efforts the M i n i s t e r and you have made sinf.e the deputation nat as

*ell as the amount of progress made since t*mt date.

It indicates sympathy, co->perati on, understanding and sincerity on the part of tie Minister and yourself towrrds the aspirations of the African people.

1 am convinced that when you nave had time to carry on negotia­t o r s begun, e^eat relief will lave been brought to tne African community and tneir confidence in toe Government increased.

13th June, 1942,

Dear Dr. Xuma,

I am reporting to you the result of my handling of the Paramount Chief of Swa z i l a n d’s petition, because it was you who approached me in this matter in the first instance.

I had only a month in England and was frantically busy during that time so that I was not able to do much about it myself, but I think I have left it in the hands of people more competent to deal with it than I am. On m y first day in London I contacted Professor McMillan and discussed it in full with him. He undertook to oass it on to all those people whom you mentioned as being possibly helpful. Professor McMillan himself was much interested in the matter and from his account, in f-rrhgffff' discussions which I had with him, he assured me that your friends in London were taking a very lively interest in it. Professor M c M i l l a n’s copy will be forwarded to the Bishop of Southampton, Bishop Karney, who is working in with the Anti Slavery people. The second copy is in the hands of Sir Allan Pimsj who will consult with Miss Marjorie Perham, with Mr. Cre€bh-Jones and with Mr. Grenidge.

I have no doubt that the Paramount Chief has been communicated with from London and so I d o n’t wish to make any sort of attempt at a memorandum. The feeling of most of them over there seems to be, however, that you are in a strong position and have a very good case

ifcgard to the land question. They feel, however, that the powers, status and appointment of the Paramount Chief and his officers is not..^as intimately bound up with the land question as the petition suggests.

^ou^may treat this as a personal note or as an informal report to be on to the Paramount Chief and his legal advisors — whichever fee. If you wish to discuss it with me, I hope you will do

X m a y be leaving the country again; if I do go overseas there is anything further I can do for the Swazi people,

"be very glad to do it. Next time I hope to have more time ion.

Yourssiricferely,

My dear Mr. Tshlwula,

I wish to acknowledge, vith thanks, the receipt of your letter of tie 9 to instant advising me about your success in establishing a Coopera­tive. I nope your efforts will be met wito continued success.

As you may, peroaps, not know, it might interest you to hear that on tbe 4 th Mf rch, 1942, a strong deputation from toe National Congress saw toe Government, and, among otoer things, presred for t'.e recognition of African Trade Unions. We were promised the recognition of our Trade Unions, exclusive of Mines, under the Industrial Conciliation Act.

We als) achieved something concerning the Pass Laws, Native Educa­tion, Catering for Non-Europeans on the Railways and certain a spects Sn Social Welfare.

The National Congresr is achieving a great deni .iust r>n«r; but I, am most unhappy about the activities of the Cane African Congress w h i c h « ^ ^ e appears to be more interested in u^ing t.’-e Conrrepf ae the halt, for rich men who desire to stand for election than for building up the organisatio I believe that we achieve not lng through any representative, rich or poo able or unable, unless the Africans themselves are a^woll organised force

There is no salvation for us except through our own ef.orts and our own organisations.

I wish, confidentially, you could make sugg estions about how to go about re-building the Congress in the Cape Province.

You are among many who have written me anxiously about the future of the Congress in the Cape.

I hope the people who heve the welfare of our rac«* will stand firm and do all they cen to build up Congress in the province, p p that is our only salvation, no matter whether we are workers, teachers or what not.

My dear Dr. Xuma,

I have been instructed to send you copy of the enclosed minute and to direct your attention to Clause ij. of the recommendations.

The Trust will have from three to four hundred pounds a year for disposal among Africans and other Non-Europeans in Southern Africa. It is a strict condition of the deed of trust that the disposal of funds is for Africans and Non-Europeans only. Another condition is that it shall carry the present educational commitments of the donor,Mrs. Whitehead. It should, however, not be assumed that the allocation of funds will be confined solely toward the furthering of the education of Africans and other deserving Kon-Europeans. Each case for assistance from the Trust will be considered on its merits.

It is in regard to c onsideration of the applications that the Trustees desire your assistance and advi c e .

In brief it is proposed that once a year applications for assistance from the Trust will be invited.Copies of thesp applications will be circulated to the Trustees and their African advisers. The Trustees will consider the applications in relation to the advice tendered by their advisers.

I hope you will consent to serve.

At reply at your earliest convenience will be appreciated.

Yours sincerely,
