NATIONALIST AIMS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received October 6, 9.4-5 a.m.) CAPETOWN, October 4. After the principles on which alone the South Africa Party will accept reunion with the Nationalists had boon adopted, the Congress at Paarl appointed a committee to confer with the Nationalists’ Committee. At the National Party’s Congress, a new clause in tho party constitution was approved, which, however, will require approval by the other provincial Congresses before it becomes effective. This recognises without hesitation, the existing relations of the South African Union and Britain, but affirms that the ultimate destiny of the people of South Africa, _ must lie full freedom and sovereign independence. The partv will therefore maintain the existing rights of the Union and develop them along constitutional lines, until Sooth Africa is a self-standing nation, on an equal footing with Britain, and ultimately obtain full independence. The party will oppose any policy tending to .a close door against such independence.
