Apartheid
Continued from Page 7
an honorary degree is

Over the past ten, years-, I
have made three visits to
South Africa, one a sabbati-
cal. I have found marked
changes in the country, in
attitudes (which are most dif-,
ficult to change), and in the
laws that have been repealed
or not enforced. The mixed
marriage laws and pass laws
have been repealed. Theaters,
shops and restaurants are
integrated for the most part.
To be sure, blacks : do not give
first priority to social rela-
tions with whites. Affecting
them most is the unfairness
of licensing laws and regula-
tions which do not permit
them to compete economically
on an equal basis with
whites, or even Asians. If
economic opportunities were
opened up for all races, the
current unrest would largely
subside. The one-man, one-
vote issue would fall to the
back burner.
Ironically, blacks tend to
associate the present system
with capitalism, and there-
fore condemn it, often em-
bracing Marxism as the sys-
tem that will cure their ills
— little realizing (that it is
"ethnic socialism" (as histo-
rian Paul Johnson has called
it) that they have been
enduring, and that the mar-.
ket economy is their best
means of getting out of their
present situation, creating
industries and jobs. • ' •
Instead of sanctions, the
policy toward South Africa
ought to be just the opposite:
South Africa ought to be
flooded with investment,
thereby making it something
of an American territory. In
that way American influence
would be felt and it would
help create jobs.
On my recent trip to South
Africa, I again visited Cros-
sroads, -the squatter camp
near Cape Town. What I
heard over and over again
was the desire for work. They
want to improve their mate-
rial existence. Investment in
enterprises that would pro-
vide jobs for them would
surely be more helpful than
divestment. Tourists might
ask to stay in the area --
hotels there would quickly be
built.
Whatever its economic im-
pact, sanctions are psycholog-
ically demoralizing. Isolation
of the country prompts those
who can leave to do so, to the
detriment of the country. The
English, the Portuguese, the
Jews depart — leaving 'the
hardrock Afrikaaner, who
has no place to go. In particu-
lar, professional people emi-
grate. The medical profession
has dwindled . some 30 to 50
percent. Very few young
Jewish professionals remain
in the country (leaving their
elders). The' formula is for
another. Lebanon.

.• THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
With urbanization, the Af
rikaaners (who trace their
origins to Holland, France,
and ,Germany) have come out
of their laager. One said to
me,' "We're an - isolated
people. We're 14 hours by air
from Europe, and it's expen-
sive. Our horizons are
broadened by foreign
enterprises and scholars who
come to our country. Boycotts
do just the opposite."
The Jewish community in
South Africa, while long op-
posed to apartheid, does not
endorse sanctions. Like Alan
Paton and Zulu Chief M.G.
Buthelezi,, they consider it a
call to chaos.
Lest we forget, thousands
of Jews came to South Africa
from the Baltic states and

other parts• of Europe to find
economic and religious free-
dom. The South - African
Jewish community, now
numbering 115,000, has been
allowed to maintain financial
ties with Israel despite South
Africa's tight control over
foreign investments.
The task in South Africa is
not to destroy the country but
to expand its institutions to
include all of its citizens.
Without violence, invest-

theid. With investment,
South African professionals

would remain. Sanctions re-

Israeli, Polish
Relations
Improving
New York (JTAI — Rela-
tions between Poland and
Israel are improving in all
areas, according to Kalman
Sultanik who was reelected .
prenident of the American
Federation of Polish Jews lest
week.
Addressing the federation's
annual conference here, mark-
ing 1,000 year of Jewish life
in Poland; Sultanik spoke of
encouraging signs that Israel
and Poland are drawing closer
after 20 years without diplo-
matic •ties. He stressed that
the content of their relations,
for .example, cultural ex-
changes, "are more important
than their formality
