SECRET SOCIETY?
SOUTH AFRICAN LEAGUE PREMIER’S DENUNCIATION REPUBLIC THE OBJECTIVE GRAVE MENACE TO PEACE By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 7.25 p.m. London, Nov. 7. The Prime Minister of South Africa, General J. B. M. Hertzog, speaking in his constituency, denounced the Afrikander Broederbond (South African League of Brothers), of which Dr. Malan and his lieutenants are members, as a secret society aiming at an independent republic severing all South Africa’s constitutional ties, says the Bloemfontein correspondent of the Times.
He declared that the Broederbond gravely menaced peace and the purity of public life and of administration. Moreover, its machinations affected the life of the community since it was connected with other secret institutions exploiting political and racial aims. General Hertzog disclosed that the Broederbond organised local divisions which closely examined applications for membership. There was a danger that non-members in the civil service would be victims of intrigue, while teacher members were endangering the interests of children.
