Taljaard, a SouthWest African Parliamentarian and leader of the movement against the return of territory to Germany, in an interview, emphasised the nervousness due to the Nazis’ underground tactics,, and pointed out that Nazis, flags had disappeared at Windoek at the height of the crisis, but had reappeared after the Munich conference.

“It is now openly said that Germany will rule South-West Africa, by Christmas,” added Mr Taljaard. “Non-Nazis are trimming their sails to meet the situation. Sixty per cent, of the population are in favour of the present Constitution. Many of the remainder, before the Munich conference, were opposed to return to Germany.”

“IN MOOD FOR WAR.”

GERMANY’S DEMANDS.

SIR J. PARR’S VIEW

Received October 20, 11.10 a.m. SYDNEY, Oct. 20. Sir James Parr (former New Zealand High Commissioner in London) has arrived at Sydney from England. He said he had no doubt that, within a few months, Herr Hitler will demand New Guinea and the other mandated colonies. “Herr Hitler is in the mood for war; we must fight this attempt to take New Guinea, Samoa, South-West Africa and Tanganyika,”, said Sir James. “The European trouble is by no means over. Herr Hitler wants the whole Danube Basin; then he will make for the Ukraine.”

Sir James Parr, added that it was no use talking of peaces, as a war between Russia and Germany was inevitable.
