6, EXPAND POLICY OF DENYING MILITARY EQUIPMENT TO SOUTH AFRICA BY FORBIDDING AMERICAN CONTROLLED FIRMS TO SUPPLY EQUIPMENT WHICH CAN BE CONVERTED FOR ~I~LITARY USES A case in point: early in 1965 the Ford Motor Company of the U,S, and Canada refused to bid on a South African Government contract to supply lightweight four-wheeled trucks, on the grounds that these trucks could be converted to armoured vehicles, An auxiliary of General Motors, however, agreed to supply the desired trucka,

7, IMPLEMENT POLICY OF GRANTING SUBSTANTIAL AID TO HIGH COMMISSION TERRITORIES The High Commission Territories of Basutoland, Bechuanaland and Swaziland are all scheduled to become independent within the seRt two years, Substantial aid must be forthcoming or they will be at the complete economic mercy of South Africa,

W e recognize our responsibility does not end with govern- mental action, As individuals and members of private organiza- tions-- whether churches, trade unions, student groups, civil rights organizationss-- we must take independent action,

We call upon others t~ join us in the follawing courses of action: -- Support private Defense and Aid Funds to help the

victims of apartheid, -- Don't invest in companies doing extensive business in South Africa, -- Don't buy South African goods, -- Discourage ordinary tourism to South Africa, -- Oppose any exchange program with South Africa not conducted ieterracially.

A serious extension of these policies by the United States Government and among the American people can be a beginning in the process of eliminating apartheid, and can pave the way for interracial harmongy in southern Africa,
