TRANSFER OF AFRICAN PROTECTORATES
GENERAL HERTZOG’S STATEMENT CAUSES SURPRISE (Received June 14, U. 51 p.m.) LONDON, June 13. The political correspondent of the “Morning Post’’ says that Government circles are surprised by the announcemnct of General Hertzog that the Union of South Africa would probably take over the administration of Swaziland in two years’ time and of Basutoland and Bechuanaland soon after. It was emphatically pointed out that there was no warrant for any such assumption, as two of the principal conditions of transfer laid down in the South Africa Act still remain to be fulfilled, namely, that a transfer can only occur with the consent of the native populations of protectorates, and that the aonsent must be given by Parliament.
