SOUTH AFRICAN ANTHEM

CABINET SPLIT AVERTED PUBLIC FEELING STILL RUNHIHG HIGH Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, Juno 3. The Cape Town correspondent of ‘ The Times ’ says that, although the withdrawal of Mr Stuttaford’s resignation has apparently ended the threatened serious split in the Cabinet, public feeling is still inflamed. Mr Stuttaford, who, during the election campaign, gave his constituents an explicit assurance that the National Anthem would not be endangered, is satisfied with the Cabinet’s decision that both anthems will be played in future. The Cabinet statement*, however, while clearing up the legal position, contains no hint of sympathy with or understanding of the feelings of those hurt. A large number of Englishspeaking supporters of the Government have been antagonised, while the Nationalists are gloating over what they regard as the irreconcilability of the two sections of the United Party. [The Minister of Education (Mr R. , Stuttaford) resigned owing to the omis-' sion of the National Anthem from a Union Day ceremony. After a Cabinet decision, however, giving equal status to ‘God Save the King’ and ‘Die Stem van Suid Afrika,’ Mr Stuttaford withdrew his resignation.] ONLY ONE CABINET CHANGE. PRETORIA, June 3. General Hertzog’s new Cabinet is identical with the old, with the exception of Mr Fagan, who has been appointed Minister of Native Affairs.
