Whichever way we re,s^ar(l the ]')ro.sj)ects we lind ourselves in 

 company with possihilities and results nothing short of stui)en- 

 dous. 



So large an inheritance of life cannot be neglected by the 

 State. Dwelling in ignorance and sin we are profoundly con- 

 vinced that these peoples must be a menace to the wState. that the 

 capacities for evil are on no account to be allowed to develoj) 

 without let or hindrance. 



And since every State seeks to develop all its resources in 

 order to secure best results, so we too should realise the untold 

 resources latent in our black po])ulation. When the black popula- 

 tion is productive the State is obviously going to gain consider- 

 ably in strength. There need then be no question of the white 

 man being swamjjcd by competition, as one so frequentlv is led 

 to suppose will be the case. The increase of wealth and activity 

 may certainly mean a readjustment of white labour, it will also 

 mean more oi)enings in the world of commerce and in other 

 directions. 



The extent of readjustment no man can forsee. but for 

 many years to come, if not for all time, native tradesmen and 

 (|ualified men of all kinds will be more than fully occupied supply- 

 ing the needs of their own race, and the cjuestion of competition 

 will, of course, settle itself on economic lines. \\'e have thou- 

 sands of native teachers at work in 'I'ranskeian and other .schools, 

 but the question of com])eting with white .teachers never has 

 arisen, and is not in the lea.st likely to ;irise. Why should we 

 any more anticipate conflict in other i)ranches of effort r
