33a Karl Janousky. Without claiming to be full, it can be said that in racial terms the population elements are composed as follows: of the first discoverers, the seafaring gentlemen adventurers, the Portuguese, no visible blood impact was left; against this, the following racial attacks had a lasting effect on the population-political structure of the Union: Dutch, who came to the country with the East Indian commercial company; shiploads of Dutch orphanage girls as women for the farmers and soldiers living in the Cape Colony; the Huguenots who came into the country as refugees after the abolition of the Edict of Nantes (1685); new Dutch settlers; British colonists of 1820 who, as a result of subsequent effects of the Napoleonic wars lost their livelihood in their English homeland; North Germans who settled in the Cape Colony as recognition for England's help in the Crimean Wars (1853-1856); the adventurers who had rushed from all countries, attracted by the gold fields and diamond pits discovered at that time, such as the Müken, since 1870; the German colonists from German-Southwest. In addition to the Russian, Ukrainian and Polish pre-war ghetto Jews as well as the German Jews who emigrated to Africa since 1933, these are the main racial political influences from which South Africa's population is composed. In some cases they have already been melted under the task of independence, such as that of the French Huguenots. Until the outbreak of war, the African, who was cut out of the wood of the old Boers, and the Englishman, who in South Africa does not see the home of the heart but only the temporary home of choice, faced each other. Between these two fields of power wrestling around the palm of a united nation, there is still the national-conscious German, who, although he embodies only a small group, does not show any signs of being absorbed in national-political or racial-political terms. The African of Dutch origin becomes more self-confident from day to day. For example, among many, the political breakthrough of South African national thought is remembered. This became visible externally in the fact that since March 1937 the governor general is a South African, but this time still of English origin.") The former inferiority complex — in order to use an unsightly and much naughty word in itself — the national Africans gradually lost completely in relation to the English. As a result of the secret forces of life, which are moving their national goals, they are already feeling that they will remain victors. It is nothing more unpleasant than to move in a society whose customs and customs are regarded as the most authoritative, without being fully familiar with them. Especially here, the individual runs the risk of making himself ridiculous. But the South African Union has created change in this respect. *) As in late February Reuter mcldete, Lord Harlech, who was a long-time member of the British cabinet under his former name Ormsby-Gore, was appointed as the British Chief Commissioner in the Southern African Union, as well as for Basutoland, Bechuanaland and Swaziland. 401
