CONTROL OF SWAZILAND

It was emphatically pointed out that there is no warrant for any such assumption as two of the principal conditions of transfer laid down in the South Africa Act still remain to be fulfilled—namely, the transfer will only occur with the consent of the native populations of the protectorates and the consent of Parliament.
