ABSTRACT
The fact is we have all been moving steadily from the Cape idea of mixing up white, brown and black and developing the different grades of colour strictly along the lines of European civilization, to the very opposite conception of encouraging as far as possible the black man to separate from the white and to develop a civilization, as he is beginning to do in Basutoland, on his own lines. For that reason we have been apt to attach great importance to maintaining the sanctity of the native reserves and not breaking them up as Botha wishes to do. We want to see them kept as places to which in the future the black man can retreat if as we believe the tendency will be for the white man to push him out.
