RETURN OPPOSED
GERMAN CONTROL SOUTH-WEST AFRICA TANGANYIKA TERRITORY EMPHATIC UNION VIEW GROWING AGITATION (Elec. Tol. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Oct. 12, 9 a.m.) CAPETOWN, Oct. 11. The agitation against the return of South-West Africa to Germany is growing in all parts of the Union, despite the absence of even a semiofficial German statement that Herr Hitler will demand the territory. Colonel Molyneaux, the leader of the United Party, is urging an allparty meeting to show that the Union is unanimous against the return. Major Van Zyl, the veteran Cape leader of the United Party, says lie is not prepared to say that none of the German colonies should be returned. but it would be fatal to the Union to return either South-West Africa on Tanganyika, where the majority of the inhabitants are Union nationals.
It is understood that the Union Government's attitude is unchanged, that it will never do to agree to the surrender of South-West Africa or Tanganyika, .but it is not opposed to a general agreement for meeting German colonial claims elsewhere in Africa.
