The Nation reports on Apartheid South Africa delegation's plans to assist with Paraguayan genocide: "Some 700,000 Bolivians have left the country because of poverty and repression, she estimates, most of them to Argentina where they work as plantation labor. But, as Dr. Strauss explained to a U.N. Commission, his government’s objective is to construct “a white Bolivia.” A South African delegation meanwhile reported in theSunday Timesof South Africa after a visit to Bolivia that white South Africans, with their “inbred intelligence” and “racial purity,” could easily take over the Bolivian economy, “run by a small minority of white immigrants from Europe who keep the Spaniards and local Indians well and truly in their place."
