PERSISTENCE OP ANTI-BRITISH . FEELING IN SOUTH AFRICA
IMPRESSIONS OF A NEW ZEALAND VISITOR (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Hon. W. H. Triggs, M.L.C., and Mrs Triggs, have arrived from London by tho Ruahino, after an extended tour, which included South Africa. Mr Triggs took part in the Inter-Parlia-mentary Conference in Berlin. He expressed himself as shocked at the racial bitterness in South Africa and the distinctly anti-British feeling shown by “the Hertzog Government* The treaty with Germany effectively debarred any further preference to Great Britain, and there was no disposition in official quarters to encourage either British-made goods, British immigration, or the investment of British capital. Tho anti-imperial spirit was shown chiefly in tho Transvaal and the Orange Free State, and it was strongly resented by Natal and Rhodesia, which were thoroughly loyal to the Mother Country.
