NATIONALIST-LABOUR PACT. A VIOLENT ATTACK. i»T CABLE —PBESS ASSOCIATION—COPYBIGHT Received June 13, 11.55 a.m. CAPETOWN, June 12.

They all hoped Germany would win and a republic be declared. That was the impression, gained from the speeches of the Nationalist leaders. Yet they were now prepared to put that ideal aside in order to join hands with the Labourites, although at the last election Mr. Hertzog boasted that the Labour Party had been shattered on the rock of “Afrikanderoom.” No true Afrikander could work with the Socialistic Party. The pact had been forced on the Nationalists by their leaders—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
