Germans Annoyed With Herfzog
Want German Tongue As Official Language HITLER’S COLONIAL CLAIMS STILL STAND United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. BERLIN, May 4. The official German news agency has issued a strong protest against General Hertzog’s statement, while en route for London to attend the Coronation, that he hoped .South-west Africa would eventually become part of the Union. ‘We would like to remind General Hertzog," says the agency, "that Herr Hitler's declaration of January 30 that Germany’s claims to all former colonies still stand. That ends the matter as far as we are concerned. We hope General Hertzog will not be annoyed if we add that recent measures against Germans in South-west Africa appear dangerously like a big step toward tacit annexation." The news agency also complained that German was not yet recognised as tho territory’s official language despite Mr. Te Water’s solemn assurance before the Mandates Commission at Geneva.
