CAPETOWN, February 1. Sir L. S. Jameson has tabled a motion of censure on the Botha Government for its treatment of the civil servants in Cape colony. The Cape Times states that the retrenchments and replacements have kept the departments in a ferment. The Government's action, it says, is tinged with racialism, nepotism, and favouritism. February 5. Mr Beit urged the withdrawal of the University Bill and the appointment of a committee of experts to draft another. The request is interpreted to mean that the Wernher Beit donation of half a million will otherwise be withdrawn. The bill is widely condemned because it restricts the arts and sciences faculties to post-graduates. The Volksstem demands the retention of bi-lingualism at all costs.
