PROPOSED TRANSFER OF MANDATES
SURPRISE IN LONDON. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 6.30 p.m.) London, June 13. The political correspondent of The Morning Post says that Government circles are surprised by an announcement by the Prime Minister (General J. B. Hertzog) that the Union would probably take over the administration of Swaziland in two years’ time and that of Basutoland and Bechuanaland soon after. It was emphatically pointed out that there was no warrant for any such assumption, as two of the principal conditions of transfer laid down in the South Africa Act still remain to be fulfilled: That a transfer may occur only with the consent of the native populations of the protectorates, and with the consent of Parliament.
