CAPETOWN CHARMED
PRINCE OF WALES'S VISIT
ALL PARTIES DELIGHTED
TRIBUTES FROM EXTREMISTS,
(BKrriD FM6I ABEOCUTIO!I.-COPIIIIaHT.) (REUIEB'S TELEGRAM;) (Received sth' May, 12.30 p.m.) CAPETOWN, 4th May. The Prince of Wales's visit to Cape' town ended to-day. It has been an unqualified success.
A Parliamentary dinner on Saturday was marked by strong enthusiasm. General Hertzog, in his speech, declared that the people of South. Africa had a deep attachment to the Prince and to the Throne. The Prince of Wales, in replying, eloquently referred to the progress of the movement knitting the various parts of the Empire together in a brotherhood of free nations, and to tlie inclusion of the Dominions as members of the League of Nations. He captured the assembly by closing his speech with a few words in Dutch.
The Prince made himself a favourite with all parties, and prominent Nationalists and Labourites, as well as members of the South African Party, were loud in their praises. General Conroy, an exrebel, declared that 'after Saturday's speech, the Nationalist views of Royalty would be very different from what they were before. Mr. Kentridge, Leader of the Left Wing of the Labour Party, declared that if South Africa was made' a republic to-morrow and the. Prince was acandidate, he would be 'unanimously elected president. His visit would probably result in killing racialism and all talk of secession once and for all. There are many other similar tributes.
The Prince left Capetown on a journey of five thousand miles through the country.
