S.Mac. Lepolesa Esq.,637, 3atio Location,BLflKSMFONTilN.

My dear Mr. Lepolesa,

I wish to thank you for the Masterful way you held the Conference.

I an now anxious to announce Jlev. Calata's resignation and your appointment, as Secretary-General, i f you feel the time is in order on your part.

Since leaving Bloemfontein, I aw convinced that i t is inevitable for Congresp to move forward, Everywhere, even up r.orth in the Trawsvaal where I have been since Conferen I have found the sp ir i t quite a l ive , 'iou would be coming at a period, I would like to ca l l , a period for harvest „

I was most oappy also to find toe activfetaaei asdfulpart that rav colleague, Dr. Setlogelo, played during the Conference. Toat is a sign that the Free State will soon be up and doing.

Hoping to hear from you soon,

I am,

Yours sincerely,

RESIDENT-GENERAL.

Bear Professor lo em ls j

Your letter of the 6th instant, i s very disappointing in that you s t i l ' drag in personalties - a/hlng I hate, especi­a l ly in the absence of the people concerned.

Anywey, I as no^ «ore tied to the Ballingers and Basners more than any other p e o p le . I know l e s s about t h e i r organi­sations wit * wni co 1 have never been connected or have never been invited to join. I t seows childish to me, instead of f a c i n g an i s s u e on i t s m er i t s to br ing in comparisons of persons and o r g a n i s a t i o n s .

The best th in£ to be done i s for Europeans woo believe in C h r i s t i a n i t y , democracy, and hum»n decency, to beck up the star.!? taken by African organisat*ons, led by Africans, finan­c ia l ly ard otherwise instead of them setting up organ!sations staffed by Hiropeans In which Africans become were passengers In America, for instance, the N.A.A.C.P., the National Negro Urban League; institutions like Tuskegee, while chiefly flnsnetd by white philanthropists are run In a l l their de­partments by negroes. The whites s it in advisory capacities in jc5nt Committees so thf-t the Pegro 1 earns with the help and support of his white compatriots to be a spearhead for his own liberation.

I t seens to me that you tend to t&ke^prlwitive anthro­pological. attitude toward* Africans. You do not seem to be­lieve that they car, do even those things for woich they are qualified. For instance, in your letter to Mr. Kuele you s t i l l believe that the mar to deal with prospective candi­dates for inspectorship is another Inspector, Mr. Pratt.

Besides, in your letter you ssv "On your letter as a whole, le t me say, quite frankly, that, i t seems to me to

have been inspired by advance knowledge of the attack on the Institute which is about to be made by "Friends of Africa* at the forthcoming meetings of o»r Council; and that your request that your letter be circulated among members of our Council, seems to me part of this campaign. Mewing i t so,I shall not circulate i t . "

The method you have decided to follow is neither just if-ior fa ir . In fact, i t i s hardly honest.

That certainj&te is the grossest insult to ray in t e l l i ­gence and my manhood to t^iink toat^t^e "Friends of Africa" are thinking we. »rhy have you fa iled so miserably in thinking for ae as you tried in your reply to my questionnaire to the institute on July 1st 1942?

I am not interested in your squabbles with the "

of Africa" or other Hiropeans. I , personally, think I t dlsgraciful, under the oircu*stances, and ff"vt that this hinders the advancement of the cause for African liberation.

I f in your1 superior wind’ you say "Viewing It so, I shall not circulate I t " , I have no alternative but to conclude you either want to Misrepresent sy attitude or you do not believe that natives can think for themselves.

Anywvjrf , I nave no confidence In your reply on this satter. Tour ’siind is prejudiced,

Wito best regards,

Yours sincerely,

PRJSSI Dm T- GENERAL.

To Chiefs, Branches, and Members,

GREETINGSThe Round Table Conference which met in Pretoria on the 17th January, 1943

convened by Messrs. J. L. Ntshudishane and S. S. Maloka, who foresaw the ’future difficulties of the Congress as long as the Transvaal was divide*!, and that no substantial advancement in the political scope of the Province could *, be achieved, has brought about unity in the Province.

v • n o < ;At this meeting of responsible leaders, held at Pretoria, on the 17th January,

1943, it was unanimously agreed that we should bury the past and come back to the original spirit of mutual understanding which formally existed throughout the Trans­vaal Province.

Chiefs, Branches, Members and Africans, are hereby notified that the Transvaal African Congress is to-day united and one. It has one voice, one view and marches for­ward as one.

It was also agreed that the Transvaal shall follow the Bye-Laws in the Consti­tution o f the Province. The main agreement was based on section 9 of the Provincial Constitution of the Transvaal African Congress.

Our usual clarion call to you is this: are we waiting to get old, sick and die, but leaving our progeny without a Parliament o f our own, namely: The Transvaal African Congress? Without our properly constituted organisation, who shall represent the in­terest of the African communities in the coming Peace Conference of the world?

The leaders of the Transvaal African Congress appeal to the African community of the Transvaal Province to come forward and pay their 2/6 membership fees.

TEMPLE CHAMBERS',4, Wale Street,

CAPE TOWN. 18.1.43

Dr. Xuma,President General,All African Congress,J 01ANNESBURG.

My dear Xuma,My motion stirred a hornets nest in which I stood alone and

received the onslaughts of about fifteen other people, with the result that the Institute refuses to come out with a definite political policy but has reiterated its somewhat nebulous state­ment adopted by Council on the 9th July 1 9 3 appearing on page 4 of R.R. 1/43. This was the first item dealt with at the meeting of the full Council.

The letter that you asked to be placed before the Council and Executive was never put before either and as your wire requested me not to use the letters you sent me I was a bit handi­capped in my action.

FromJ|hen onwards the Council found itself in difficulties and procea^l to depute a number of matters to the Executive for politicnLJ^tion. For instance, all the recommendations.of the Interdepaf^nental Commission. This is rather amusing as the item appealing on page 20 of the R.R. 54-3 is exactly the first portion of your first question in your letter of the 1st July 1942.

As I have been re-elected to the Executive I shall press there for direct answers to be sent to you, but I have come to the conclusion that Race Relations cannot be looked upon as a positive force so far as reforms to assist the Africans are concerned, particularly in the near future. I am so convinced of the urgency of the times that I feel all people of goodwill whether Africans or Europeans must unite in doing their best to obtain immediate remedial action by the Government if the present unfortunate situation is not going to deteriorate further.

Looking forward to closer co-operation with yourself in the future and with kind regards,

Yours s

BUCHANAN K.C.

Dear Dr. Xuma,Broadcasts to Africans re Anti-Waste.

I have been asked by the National Anti-Waste Organization to form a Sub-Committee of that Organization to consider ways and means for broadcasting to African people information regarding Anti-Waste. A Sub-Committee is being formed with Mr. Cope, the Editor of THE FORUM, and one or two others from the European Committee, together with three or four Africans, to discuss ways and means for accomplishing this purpose. It has been suggested that you should be invited to become a member of this Committee, and should attend, if possible, a meeting at 11 a.m. on Friday morning, 29th January, in the offices of the National Anti-Waste Organization, 7th Floor, Howard House, Cor. Loveday and Main Streets.

This National Anti-Waste Organization is an extremely well organized body, under the Chairmanship of Colonel Dr. J. H. Dobson, and with representatives of Industry and Commerce as well as the National Broadcasting Corporation. Will you kindly give this matter your consideration, and make an earnes^attempt to meet the other members of this Sub-Committee on Friday morning.

»n'ith cordial good wishes,

Dictated by Dr. Ray E. Phillips, and signed in his absence.

Yours very sincerely, for Ray E. Phillips,
