26] "The Black Problem" by Professor D.D.G. Jabaou.
[27] When General s.m.u.ts introduced his Native Affairs Bill in the Union Parliament in May, 1920, he said, _inter alia_, that he hoped that under a policy of territorial separation, which was now the law of the land, it would be possible to carry out the idea of parallel inst.i.tutions for the Natives by means of which they could deal with their own concerns.
In the course of his speech General s.m.u.ts also said "the Pa.s.s laws do the Whites no good and are intolerable to the Natives." The Native Affairs Act of 1920 provides for the establishment of a permanent Native Affairs Commission, and for the Creation of local Native Councils or conferences of Native Chiefs and other representatives for the discussion of all questions affecting the interests of the Natives. In explaining the nature and scope of this Act the Prime Minister said that more study and investigation, and more consultation with the Natives were required before it could be said that the areas suggested by the Beaumont Commission were fair and proper.
