SOUTH AFRICAN UNION
GENERAL HERTZOG’S VIEW OF BOER WAR. CAPETOWN, November 8. The Prime Minister (General Hertzog), speaking at a public dinner at Windhoek, after touring the South-Western district, said that he was more convinced than over that the destiny of the South-West was that of tho Union. He believed that if the English in Sonh Africa had felt the same intense love of the country as the Dutch, the Boer war would not have occurred. He rejoiced at the changed spirit of his English friends in that respect, and lie did not doubt that what had been done in the Union could bo done in tho SouthWest. General Hertzog foreshadowed the creation of a Legislature for the South-West, but said that the control of natives in its broader and more fundamental aspects, and also the control of the railways and tho customs must necessarily ho kept in tho hands of tho Union Government.
