The non-White peoples in the Union of South Africa suffer :numerous disabilities, social, economic and political, which reduce them to conditions of virtual servitude. South Africa is the only country in the world where the most blatant racial discrimination is practiced and openly upheld by the Government as the "way of life" of the country. The entire non-White people who form the great majority of the country's population are the victims of oppressive discriminatory laws and practices which have the effect of holding them in utter subjection. In every respect they are treated as inferior human beings, merely because of the colour of their skin, irrespective of individual:status or position.
