««*>*»-- (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.)
CAPETOWN, July 30. Questioned in the Assembly regarding the release of Merits the Premier said it was clear to him that so long as Maritz remained a prisoner a feeling of bitterness would prevail, rightly or wrongly, among tens of thousands. All realised that Maritz did wrong, hut they must all agree that .the sooner he was released the sooner it would put an end to the feeling off bitterness. Now the European war was over South Africa should he made to feel that Dutch and English must stand together, and there should be an end to the friction of the past. He added that Maritz was not granted a free pardon, merely a remission of sentence.
