FACE THE FUTURE

19pp., paper wraps, S.A. Congress of Democrats, Johannesburg, 1960

Foreword by Chief Albert Luthuli

“…This South African Congress of Democrats publication, to which I have the honour to write a Foreword, provides a much-needed, brief factual presentation of our situation in the Union.

It confronts us with challenges we can only evade to the harm of our country and ourselves. To honest and serious citizens, it offers both an impetus and a basis for making a much-needed, agonising reappraisal.

No one who reads this book with an open and searching mind can sink into complacency—or become panicky—for the book is constructive in its approach. There is too much at stake. There is no time, nor room, for cowardly thinking and action.

Too many of us ignore the signs of the times. This justifies the note of urgency and disaster the book strikes.”
