EXPOSURE OF NAZIS

ACTIVITIES IN WEST AFRICA. ; NO CHOICE BUT PROHIBITION. ':. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Capetown, Nov. 22. . Sensational exposures relating to the Nazi movement in south-west. Africa are made in an official statement issued-by. the Department of External Affairs. The statement says that the administration had no other choice but to declare the National Socialist German Labour Party a prohibited-association and to order Major' Weigel, leader of the' party, to leave the country, ; The statement details the principles. and regulations of the party and says: “There is no scope: in the minds of members of the party and the German- ’ speaking inhabitants under their influence for loyalty to any authority or community other than the German na- ; tion—a state of affairs the Union Government can only contemplate with-, alarm. -■ ■ - 1

“If the object of the party is achieved, then the German State and Government would have at its disposal an organisation controlling the whole of the Ger-man-speaking population of South-West Africa. It is clear that the Union as the mandate authority could not allow such, an organisation of a foreign State in the mandated territory.”
