SOUTH AFRICA.
THE RECENT ELECTIONS
FEELING OF THE PEOPLE
BY. CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT CAPETOWN, July 16. General Smuts, addressing his constituents, said the elections had apparently been a great disaster for them, but pointed out that 153,000 votes had been cast for the South African Party, 111,000 for the Nationalist, and 42,000 for labour. Yet, in spite of this equality of votes, the pact had a majority of 28. The truest reflex of public opinion was the votes cast, and half of South Africa stood behind the South African Party, who had 13,380 more votes than in the 1921 election.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
