CLEAR EXPOSITION.
General Hertzog Kills Move
For Republic
STAUNCH FRIEND OF BRITAIN.
BLOEMFOXTEIN, September 11
"Those who want a Republic will find me the strongest of their opponents," declared the Prime Minister, General Hertzog, at the Orange Free State United party's congress, in opposing a motion in favour of a Republic. He added that South Africa needed friends to maintain her position in the world. Now they were being asked to deal a death blow to Britain —their staunehest friend.
There was a time when South Africa prepared to fret rid of the British Fleet, but the position was different to-day. If South Africa forsook her friends, or sent them away, she must look to her own defence because even Britain was not now bound to come to her aid. They must be united or lose their independence. The mover, in withdrawing his motion, said it had done a lot of good in getting such a clear and acceptable exposition of General Hertzog's attitude.
