AFRICAN SEPARATISTS.
HERZOG'S MANIFESTO. • SUBJECTION " BY BRITAIN. CAPETOWN, November t>. General Herzog, the leader of the South African Nationalists, has issued an election manifesto, in which lie accuses the Union Government of being inspired by a purely Imperialistic policy, which led to South Africa being dragged into wur, and making great sacrifices to benefit the British Empire. If the policy \ii continued, he asserts, it must lead tul bankruptcy, if not revolution. He characterises the Ministers as merely British , agents, and denounces General Smuts" policy of closer union with the Empire as meaning political and economic subjection or revolution.
I General Herzog calls on the Afrikander people to co-operate in the defence of tho!' j fatherland's liberty, and to frustrate an, | I Imperial policy. Their motto, he said, j 1 must be, "South Africa first, SoutU j Africa always."—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)!
