Oats Would Go To Country Natives' Rights Bills Cape town, South Africa, Feb. 16.--At the resumption of the joint sitting of both Houses of Parlia- ment Gen, Jan Smuts, opposition leader, made another vigorous ef- fort to prevent the native guestion being made the issue in the com- ing general elections. The joint "sitting 1s considering two natives® rights bills introduced by Premier J. B. Hertzog and the bills are vio- lently opposed by the Opposition. Gen. Smuts asserted the proper course was to go to-the country and get a mandate before dealing with the bills and this was loudly applauded from the Government benches. Col, ¥, H, P, Creswell, Minister of Defense and Labor lead- er, asked however: "Are the na- tion's most important questions never to be discussed in the House or on the platform?" Col, Creswell declared. the Pre- mier's scheme of separate parlia- mentary representation for the blacks was the correct one because it was wrong to mix whites and blacks in the 'same electoral sys- tem, He added Premier Hertzog, was right in dealing with the ques- tion promptly, Great delays in home rule had provided examples of dangerous procrastination, The fundamental split on the na- tives' question is that the Govern- ment proposes to have the natives elect their own representatives to Parliament in a certain proportion of the whole Assembly; whereas the opposition would have natives vote alongside the whites and have full franchise privileges, something that exists at present only in one of the four provinces, the Cape, The franchise will be taken away from Cape natives under the Gov- ernment's scheme, and replaced throughout the union by the special representation, Aspirin as an effective antidote for pain, But it's just as imgrtant to know that there is only one genuine Aspirin, The e Bayer is on every tablet, and on the box, If the name Bay, rs, it's 'génulney and if it doesn't, it is not!
