SOUTH AFRICAN HINT
UNION INCORPORATION
SURPRISE IN LONDON
LONDON, June 13
The Morning Past's political correspondent says that Government circles were surprised by an announcement made by the Prime Minister of South Africa, General J. B. Hertzog, that tho Union would probably take over the administration of Swaziland in two years' time and of Basntoland and Bechuanaland soon after.
It was emphatically pointed out that there was no warrant for any such assumption, as the two principal conditions of transfer laid down in the South Africa Act still remain to be fulfilled, namely, that transfer will occur only with the consent of the native populations of the protectorates and the consent of Parliament.
