WHEN the King was in Natal the Indians were second to none in welcoming him. Their actions, however, cast a new light on the events which took place before the United Nations last winter. During that session Field Marshal Smuts had defended his country's name against a resolution and a protest moved by the Government of India. His defense fared badly. The Trusteeship Committee of the Assembly of UNO passed the Indian resolution requesting South Africa to submit a draft trusteeship agreement for South West Africa-whereas Smuts had already previously declared that. South West Africa would be annexed. And the Assembly also accepted the Indian protest that South Africa discriminates against the rights of her Indian minority.
