ABSTRACT
The CP of South Africa proposes an amendment of the ‘Native Republic’ slogan as at present drafted, for the following reasons.
1. There is a real danger that if a national or racial movement for a native republic were launched in a form liable to conflict with the other tasks of the Party, or other wise inappropriate, as we think the present form is~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~, it might have as its outcome an eventual race war between black and white, irrespective of class divisions among the whites. This is admitted by advocates of the slogan. 2. Such a race war negates and clashes with the class solidarity of black and white workers which it is the Party’s task to promote, and on the basis of which the Party has succeeded in winning the confidence of large native masses without in the slightest degree compromising with chauvinism
