GERMAN COLONIES
SOUTH AFRICAN ALARM OPPOSITION 'TO RETURN "attitude of government (Received October 11, 10.55 p.m.) CAPETOWN. Oct. 11 Agitation against the return of South-West Africa to Germany is growing all over the Union," in spite of the absence of even a semi-official German statement that Herr Hitler will demand the territory. Colonel Molyneaux. leader of the United Party, is urging an all-party meeting to show the Union is unanimous against the return of colonies.
Major Van Zyl, the veteran Cape leader of the United Party, says he is not prepared to say none of the former German colonies should bo returned, but it would be fatal to the Union to return either South-West Africa or Tanganyika, where the majority of the inhabitants are Union nationals. It is understood the Union Govern-
ment's attitude is unchnnged; namely, that it will never agree to the surrender of South-West or Tanganyika, but is not opposed to a general agreement for meeting German colonial claims elsewhere than in Africa.
