Bitter Pill. The police raids constituted the latest, most serious development in an increasingly bitter confrontation between some South African churchmen and the racist government of Premier Johannes Vorster. While Vorster has repeatedly warned clerics to stay out of "politics," clergymen, especially a number of outspoken Anglicans, have steadfastly refused to ignore apartheid. Two events late last year exacerbated the conflict. After the World Council of Churches voted a $200,000 grant to "antiracist" liberation groups in Africa and elsewhere (TIME, Oct. 5), W.C.C. member churches refused to accede to Vorster's demand that they quit the organization.

...silly to suggest that I view any criticism of the Panthers as racist. My point is that PL's "criticism" of the Panthers has been un-comradely and factional in tone.

...Landau implies that SDS is "racist" because it criticizes the Black Panthers. Again, there is no official SDS position on this matter, but many members of SDS feel that the Panthers have very serious political flaws that has greatly hindered the fight against racism. And Landau does not point out that these criticism are not those of bystanders, but of active participants in the struggle (e.g. Painters Helper campaign; support for Welfare Mothers struggling against the Flat Grant and price hikes in ghetto supermarkets when welfare checks come out; support for the Polaroid workers; fighting racist unemployment; support for Charlie...
