SOUTH AFRICAN FLAG
FIGHTING SPEECH BY HERTZOG DOOR TO RAPPROCHEMENT CLOSED (Rte. October C, 7.30 p.m.). Cape Town, October 5. General Hertzog, the Premier, speaking on the flag question at Bloemfontein, said if the Bill were defeated at the referendum the Nationalists would regard it as evidence that their independence was being ridiculed by the British jingoes, and the result would be that the Union Jack would become the object of detestation to the Dutch in South Africa, and the struggle' for the flag would be waged more than ever, with vigour and bitterness, and the verdict would banish the L T nion Jack for ever from South African national affairs.
The Press describes the speech as closing the last door to a rapprochement.— Svdnev "Sun” Cable.
