QUESTION OF THE FLAG. SPEECH BY GENERAL HERTZOG. (Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.) CAPETOWN, October 5. (Received October 6, at 7.30 p.m.) General Hertzog, speaking on the flag question at Bloemfontein, said that if the Bill were defeated at the referendum, the Nationalists would regard it as evidence that their -independence was being ridiculed by British jingoes, and the result would be that the Union Jack would become an object of detestation to the Dutch in South Africa. The struggle for the flag would be waged more than ever with vigour and bitterness, and the verdict •would banish the Union Jack for ever from South African national .affairs. The press describes the speech as closing the last door.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
