To the Editor: © ~

May we greet the women
readers of your paper.

May.this New Year be one
of growing unity among Can-
adian women in the com-
mon struggle ior ‘the rights
and dignity of women, and
for a safe and happy life of
all children!

May it be a year of closer
ties with women of every
land who are battling to end
oppression. A year to end the
cold war; and to begin-taking
practical steps toward com-
plete and universal disarma-
ment.

The campaign for pencils’
and diapers for the children
of Cuba is going well, and
will go on until March 8.
Early in January a meeting
of women from the different
American countries is being
held to plan for the great All-
American Women’s Congress
to take place in Cuba next
summer.

Ever since the war against
the Spanish people, men have
languished in Franco’s pris-
on — many for more. than
20 years. We have received a
list of children’s names from
10 of these families with the
request that Canadian famil-
ies write to them and send
them good used. clothing.
Their ages range from 18
months to 18 years. Some
Toronto families of the Hun-
garian community have. al-
‘ready ‘adopted’ their . child-
ren. Would you like us to
send you some names? .__

Nobel peace prize winner Luthuli

delivers inspiring, defiant’ ‘speech —

HIEF Albert Luthuli, 1960 Nobel Peacé winner, de-
livered the traditional laureate lecture at Oslo Uni-

versity Dec. 11, before a distinguished audience, which

included King: Olav, statesmen, MP’s and Pee

Here: are extraets from his lecture:

Africa is‘a continent:in re- *

generation.- -
. S 2 4 e

By comparison with Eur-

to our credit, ‘is proving to be
orderly, quick’and ‘compara-
‘tively bloodless.

Our goal is:a united Africa
in which the standards of life
and. liberty are constantly ex-
panding, in which. the. anci-
ent. legacy. of illiteracy and
disease is swept aside, in
which. the dignity of man is
rescued from. beneath the
heels of colonialism which
have trampled it.

How great is the paradox
and how much greater the
honor that an award in sup-
port of peace and the broth-
erhood of man should come
to one who is a citizen of a
country where the brother-
hood of man is an illegal doc-
trine.

Outlawed, banned, censur-
ed, proscribed and prohibit-
ed, where to work, talk or
campaign for the realization
in fact and deed of the bro-
therhood of man is hazard-
ous, punished with banish-
ment or confinement with-
out trial or imprisonment.

This ‘is South Africa.

It is a‘museum ‘piece in our
time, a hangover from the
dark past, of mankind, a relic
of an age which everywhere
elsé is dead or dying.

Here the cult of race sup-
eriority and of white supre-
macy is worshipped like:a
god.

The country is ruled ex-
clusively by a white govern-
ment elected by an exclusive-
ly white electorate which is
a privileged minority.

- Almost one million Afric-
ans a year are arrested and
jailed or fined for breaches
of innumerable pass and per-
mit laws which do not apply
to whites.

-I, as a Christian; have al-
ways felt there is one thing
above all about “apartheid”
or “separate development”
that is unforgivable.

‘Our goal is a free
and united Africa’

It seems utterly indifferent
to the suffering of individual
persons, who lose their land,
their homes, their jobs, in
the pursuit of what is surely
the most terrible dream in
the world.

This -terrible dream is not
held on to by = a crackpot
group on the: fringe of soci-
ety, or. a: Ku-Klux-Klansman,
of which we have a_sprink-
ling. ¥

It is the deliberate policy
of a government, supported
actively ‘by a large part of
the white population, and
tolerated passively by an
overwhelming white. majori-
ty, but now fortunately re
jected. by an _ encouraging
white..minority who have
thrown in their lot with non-
whites who are overwhelm-
ingly opposed to. so-called
separate development.

This is South Africa today,
in the age of Africa’s great-
ness. =

But beneath the surface
there is a spirit of defiance.

e

The people of South Afri-
ca have never been a docile
lot, least of all the African
people. We have a long tra-
dition of struggle for our na-
tional rights, reaching back
to the early beginnings oi
white settlement and  con-
quest 300 years ago.

We in our situation have
chosen the path of non-vio-
lence of our own volition.
Along this path we have or-
ganized many heroic cam-
paigns.

If today this peace award
is given to South + Africa
through a black man, it is
not because we in South Af
rica have won our fight for
peace and human brother-
hood. Far from it. Perhaps
we stand farther from victory
than any other people in Af-
rica. :

High among the things that
have sustained us, stands the

‘magnificent support of the
progressive people and gov-
ernments throughout the
world.

In a strife-torn world, tot-
tering on the brink of com-
plete destruction by man-
made nuclear weapons, a
free and independent Africa
is in the making, in answer
to the injunction and chal-
lenge of history.
