Ayres, Ltd., chemist, 78 Stafford Street South, Timaru There has always been a subcurrent of feeling between the British and Boers of South Africa, and the merging of the Nationalist and South African parties should do a great deal to bring about full understanding between the two races,” remarked Mr G Crossman, director of the Union Produce Mart, Ltd., Durban, in an interview in Wellington. The announcement of the formation of the Coalition Government was made in a cablegram published recently. Mr Crossman saic that the two parties constituted practically the whole of the South African Parliament, in which there were only two Labour members. He considered the move would be a very importanl factor in South Africa's future. The nation had great possibilities, but it was only with the elimination of the national factions within the State, with particular concentration on the younger generations, that these could be developed further. “Imacure” will stop the most troublesome cough in a few minutes.
