SECESSION FROM BRITAIN.
s. AFRICAN DISCUSSIONS.
Australian and N.Z. Cable Association, (Reed. 5.5 p.m.) CAPETOWN. May 15,
The secession issue is becoming more prominent in the election campaign. The oft-repeated assertion that the NationalistLabour pact had killed secession is discounted by a statement made at the Rustenburg meeting of the Prime Minister, General Smuts. '
Mr. Piet Crobler, one of the most prominent Nationalist members of Parliament, in replying to General Smuts, maintained that under the pact the Nationalists were free to continue propaganda inside or outside of • Parliament. The only reservation was that they must not take a vote. General Smuts several times repeated the question, but Mr. Grobler stoutly maintained that there was the fullest liberty for propaganda. This statement made considerable impression, especially among the new British settlers in the district. The latter had been assured, by the Natonalists that secession was dead.
