FLAG SQUABBLE
SOUTH AFRICAN DISPUTE
USE OF ROYAL STANDARD CONSIDERED NO SOLUTION'. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received 11.5 a.m. to-day. LONDON, Jan. 5. The Capetown correspondent of the Times says: General Hertzog’s FlagBill was received with dismay and surprise. . It seems as if he is reacting to the last strong personality with which ho is in contact. Just now this is the Minister of Defence, the Hon. F. H. P. Cresswoll, who has persuaded him that resistance will cease if it is confronted with a Parliamentary majority. There is not the faintest possibility of the South African Party accepting the farcical idea of the Royal Standard, which suggests an attempt to involve his Majesty in a local flag squabble. General Hertzog has never realised the spontaneity and depth of the attachment of the English South Africans to the Union .Tack.—Times.
