SOUTH AFRICAN ELECTIONS
A NATIONALIST SPLIT. PACT WITH LABOUR CONDEMNED. Pi»«. Association —By Teiagraph— Copyright CAPETOWN, June 12. Mr Wolmarans a prominent Nationalist, who with 12 others has seceded from the Nationalist-Labour pact, caused a sensation at a large Nationalist meeting at Losberg by a violent attack on the pact, saying that he had joined the Nationalists in 1915 because Mr Hertzog thought it would be in favour of Germany. They all hoped that Germany would win and that a republic would be declared. That was the impression gained from the speeches of the Nationalist leaders, yet they were now prepared to put that ideal aside in order to join hands with the Labourites, although at the last election Mr Hertzog liad boasted that the Labour Party had been shattered on the rock of Afrikanderdom. No true Afrikander could work with the Socialist Party. The pact had been forced on the Nationalists by the leaders. —A. and N.Z. Cable.
