SOUTH-WEST AFRICA
INCORPORATION IN UNION
MEASURE INTRODUCED
(Received April 20, 11.5 a.m.)
CAPE TOWN, April 19.
The Minister of Justice, General Smuts, in introducing a Bill incorporating South-West Africa in the Union, said the dispatch of police to SouthWest Africa was purely the result of information which indicated the possibility of a serious breach in the law which should be forestalled. The Bill was read a first time by 82 votes to 20.
General Smuts, in replying to the debate on the Bill, said that hundreds of young Germans from South-west Africa went to Germany every year and returned as fully-trained soldiers. The remainder of the population was untrained. .
