THE FLAG SQUABBLE
HERTZOG'S NEW PROPOSAL
RECEIVED WITH DISMAY
(The Times.) (Received Jan. 6, 11 a.m.) LONDON, Jan. 5
The Times' Capetown correspondent says General Hertzog's Flag Bill has been received with dismay and surprise. It seems that his old failing is reacting to the last. The strong personality with which lie is in contact now is Mr. Oreswell, who has persuaded him that the resistance will cease if it is •confronted with a Parliamentary majority. There is not the faintest possibility of the South African Party accepting' the farcical idea of the Royal Standard, which suggests an attempt'to involve His Majesty in the local flag squabble. General Hertzosj has never realised the snontaniety and depth of attachment of English South Africans to the Union Jack.
