Smuts refuses call to postpone Anti

During the South African Indian Congress (SAIC) Conference held in Cape Town, a deputation of sixty Indians called on the prime minister, Field Marshal J.C. Smuts, urging him to postpone the legislation on the Asiatic Land Tenure and Indian Representations Bill, pending a round table conference with India. He refused their request for a round table conference and insisted that he would proceed with legislation.
