SOUTH AFRICAN ELECTION.
RIOTOUS EEAIOXSTRATIOX.
CONDEMNED BY SAIUTS
CAPETOWN, June 2
General Smuts, speaking at various election meetings, strongly condemned the growing riotous demonstrations against the South African party candidates. He charged his opponents with aiming At secession, and declared that if the people were to submit to the aims of the secessionist leaders South Africa would not deserve to be a white civilisation at all. It might as well revert to barbarism. The Opposition policy meant a huge row with the British Government and Empire. ‘You cannot,” he said, “start secession without mobilising the whole Empire against you.”
