"The Africans require want the franchise on the basis of one man one vote, the want political independence." "We have made it very clear in our policy that South Africa is a country of many races. There is room for all the various races in this country" Are there many educated Africans inside South Africa?
    00.41.43 Yes. We have a large number of Africans who are educated, and who have taken part in the political struggles of the African people.The education has nothing to do with the question of the vote. On numerous occasions it has been proven in history that the people can enjoy the vote even if they have no education. Of course we desire education and we think it's a good thing. But we don't have to have education in order to know that you want certain fundamental rights, you've got aspirations, you've got acclaims - it has nothing to do with education whatsoever.
    00.42.29 Are you planning any more campaigns of non-co-operation? Yes The Pietermatizburg Resolution makes provision for campaign of non-co-operation with the Government and we are presently starting plans to implement this aspect of the Resolution.
    00.42.45 Is there any likelihood of violence? There are many people who feel that the reaction of the Government to our Stay-at-Home ordering the general mobilisation, arming the white community, arresting ten thousands of Africans, the show of force throughout the country, notwithstanding our clear declaration that this campaign is being run on peaceful and non-violent lines,, close a chapter as far as our methods of political struggle are concerned.
    00.43.26 There are many people who feel that it is useless and futile for us to continue talking peace and non-violence against a government whose reply is only savage attacks on an unarmed and defenceless people, and I think the time has come for us to consider in the light of our experiences in this Stay-at-Home, whether the methods which we have applied so far are adequate."
