FURTHER TERM.
Governor-General of South
Africa.
UNION AND TERRITORIES. (British Official Wireless.) (Received 2 p.m.) RUGBY, May 23. The King lias approved of the extension of the term of office of the Earl of Clarendon, Governor-General of the Union of South Africa. The Dominions Secretary, Mr. J. H. Thomas, stated in the House of Commons that the future of the High Commission territories has been fully discussed between the Prime Minister, General Hertzog, and himself in the light of the provisions of section 151 of the South Africa Act, 1909, and of pledges given by the United Kingdom Government during the passage of that Act and subsequently, and of constitutional developments during the last few years. As a result of these discussions, it has been agreed that the best policy to pursue in the present circumstances is to extend co-operation between the Union Government and the Administration of territories over as wide a field as possible, and, in particular, in all matters relating to the economic welfare and development of the territories. A communication in this sense has been addressed to the South African High Commissioner in London, Mr. Te Water.
