...perennial political and psychological affront to the colony's 6,000,000 Africans. The new plan might ease the affront, but even its proponents did not argue that it would admit more than a sprinkling of non-Europeans into the Highlands. As the plan now stands, an African farmer who wanted to move into the Highlands would first have to get financing, then find a European farmer who was willing to sell his lease to a nonwhite, and finally, make a convincing demonstration of his agricultural know-how to an "area control board" dominated by European settlers...

...demogogue playing on the fears of the people. The political overtones of the play were obvious (which is probably why Hollywood has never attempted to make a movie of it), but the play was more than a mere social pamphlet.
