NO REPUBLIC
SOUTH AFRICA GENERAL HERTZOG’S OPPOSITION BRITAIN’S FRIENDSHIP (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 12.15 a.m.) Bloemfontein, Sept. 11. “Those wanting a republic will find the strongest of opponents,” declared General Hertzog at the Free State United Party’s congress in opposing a motion in favour of a republic. He added that South Africa needed friends to maintain her position in the world. Now they were being asked to deal a death blow to Britain, their staunchest friend. There was a time when South Africa was prepared to get rid of the British Fleet, but the position was different to-day. If South Africa forsook her friends or sent them away she must look to her own defence because even Britain was not now bound to come to her aid. They must be united or lose their independence. The mover, in withdrawing the motion, said it had done a lot of good in getting such a clear and acceptable exposition of General Hertzog s attitude.
