AGAINST THE PROTOCOL.
ATTITUDE OF SOUTH AFRICA. INTERESTS /MAY BE JEOPARDISEDBy Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received. .Tune 21, 5.5 p.m. Capetown, June 20, A Parliamentary paper containing a communication between the Premier and the Governor-General on the . Geneva protocol has been issued. The Ministers regret that they are unable to recommend the acceptance of the protocol to Parliament, The protocol would only make it more difficult for nations outside the League to join, and it is ini,-, possible to calculate the obligations ae-' cruing-therefrom. Further, the interests of South Africa demand that no international obligations should be entered into entailing participation or interference by the Union in matters not, or only remotely, concerning her whereby her real and proper interests may eventually be jeopardised. The publication of the documents is now regarded as significant in view of the discussions on the new security pact, and as an indication of the Government’s. attitude on the question.
