SOUTH AFRICAN SITUATION.
REDRESS PROMISED,
(Received 8 a.m.)
CAPETOWN, Sept. 17.
In the Senate the Assembly motion regarding the cost of living was carried, after a Labour amendment had been negatived. After a mass meeting protest against the high cost of living the crowd paraded before Parliament House. General Smuts addressed them and promised that the Government would do its best to solve legitimate grievances. The Government was in honour bound to prevent the export of foodstuffs required in the Union, but it would be a dog-in-the manger policy to prevent the surplus going to feed England.—A. and N.Z.
