SOUTH AFRICA AND BRITAIN. GENERAL FIERTZOG’S REMARKS. REPUBLIC OPPOSED. (United Press Association-—By Electric Telegraph —Copyright.) Received September 12, 9.5 a.m. BLOEMFONTEIN, Sept. 11.
“Those wanting a republic will find the strongest of opponents,” declared General Hertzog, the Prime Minister, at the Free State United Party’s Congress, in opposing a motion for a republic. Ho added that South Africa needed friends to maintain her position in the world. Now they were being asked to deal a death blow- to Britain, their staunchest friend.
“There was a time when South Africa was prepared to get rid of the British Fleet, but the position is different to-day,” ho added. If South Africa forsook her friends or sent them away she must look to her own defence, because even England was not now- bound to come to her aid. They must bo united or lose their independence. The mover, in' withdrawing the motion, said it had done a lot of good in getting such a clear and acceptable exposition of General llertzog’s attitude.
