| Abstract: | Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: Within the past quarter of a century five countries in the modem world have successively held the spotlight in race relations – the United States of America, with its Jim Crow and discrimination against Negroes; Hitler’s Germany, with its anti-semitism and its sterilisation of the so-called inferior races to make living space for the Aryan race; Palestine, with its open warfare between Jews and Arabs; Japan, because of its treatment of the Chinese in World War II; Kenya, where the Mau Mau are in rebellion against the British planters; and South Africa, with its segregation policy against Negroes and Indians. There are also a few other areas of tension – Australia and Canada with their white immigration policy; Burma, Ceylon and Malaya with their strong feeling against Indians; and the United Kingdom with the possibility of racial antagonism towards British West Indians. |
