From a batch of Foreign Office documents, including material from the Information Research Department (for whose activities, financed from the budget of the Special Intelligence Service, otherwise MI6, see The Times, 17 August 1995; and also Michael Cullis's obituary of Sir John Peck in the Independent, 20 January 1995). Duplicated typescript. Headed: '(g) The measures which have been taken to establish the policy of APARTHEID in South Africa and its effect on the European, Indian and African communities.' 10pp, foolscap 8vo. Pagination on pp.2-10 preceded by '(g)'. Ending abruptly, so perhaps incomplete. Lengthy single-spaced typewritten document. In good condition, lightly-aged and worn.

The section 'The cost of apartheid' praises 'a brave budget', which 'seeks to arrest at this late stage the spirit of boundless optimism which is so characteristic of the South African business and commercial community'. A short section on the 'Reaction of non white organizations' to the 1953 elections reports at length from an ANC statement, ending with a call for 'the non-European population to "demonstrate unmistakably" their indignation and resentment at all that White supremacy and apartheid stood for, and to make the poli[cy] of apartheid unworkable in every sphere of life'.…
