CAPE NATIONALISTS
COUNTED ON GERMAN VICTORY SENSATIONAL SPEECH BY POLITICIAN. $ (UtfITEP PRESf ASSOCIATION.—COPIRIGBT.) (AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CAISLR ASSOCIATION.) (Received 13th June, 11.30 a.m.) CAPETOWN, 12th June. Mr. Wobnarans, a prominent Nationalist, who seceded with twelve others fl'om the Nationalist-Labour pact; caused a sensation at a- big Nationalist meeting at Losberg by a violent attack ou the pact. He said he had joined the Nationalists in 1915 because General Hertzog was thought to be in favour of Germany, and they all hoped that Germany would win, and that a Republic would be declared. That, he said, was the impression gained from the speeches of the Nationalist leaders, yet they were now prepared to put that idea aside in order to join hands with the Labour Party, although at the last election General Hertzog had boasted that the Labour Party was shattered on the rock of Afrikanderdom. No true Afrikander could work with the Socialistic Party. The pact had been forced on the Nationalists by its leaders.
