Albert Luthuli and S. S. Modise
Jordan Ngubane , a leading African journalist, gives a brief account of African political movements in the Union since 1912, and analyses the main schools of thought among Africans today. The other two speakers express opposing reactions to the apartheid policy. Albert Luthuli is President-General of the African National Congress and deposed Chief of the Abasemakolweni tribe, and is banned under the Suppression of Communism Act. He states the aims of the Congress, and gives his own view of the need for a common South African patriotism. S. S. Modise, Chairman of an African School Board and Chief Clerk to the Health Board, Alexandra Township, believes that apartheid offers Africans the only chance of ' freedom from the mockery of equality before God but not before Man' and that it has great possibilities for those willing to embrace it.

There is a half-truth, not more, In Heine's description of Kant. A philosopher's doctrines matter less than his questions and the ideas he uses in trying to answer them.
