PRAISE FOR BRITAIN
Praise for Britain was uttered by General Hertzog, the Premier of Africa, in a speech in the Union House of Assembly on the South Africa Act Amendment Bill, which provides a twelfth member of the Cabinet, says the Manchester Guardian. " The United Party," he said, " will co-operate with Britain as long as we remain on these benches, and that will be for a very long time to come." The policy of the Nationalist Party was that there should be no co-operation and no friendly relations with Britain or with anything British. The Nationalists forgot that everything had changed in regard to the British connection, and instead of South Africa's relation with Britain being one of pressure and opposition, it was to-day entirely reversed. The Nationalists, added General Hertzog, refused to recognise Britain to-day as " undoubtedly the greatest benefactor of South Africa in the last 200 years."
