GERMANS ASK FOR SYMPATHY OF SOUTH AFRICANS.
(United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, June 17. The “ Morning Post’s ” Berlin correspondent say 6 that there is curiously little comment on the South African elections. The “ Colnische Zeitung ” says: “ The results show that the efforts of South Africa towards independence and even complete separation are consolidating. So far as we Germans are concerned, I we would like to address the request to General Hertzog that, if he looks back a couple of decades, he will recall the bitterness of his countrymen against the victorious English, and he will recall that the sympathies of the Germans were largely with the Boers. We hope that General Hertzog will keep these things in mind when the delegations from South-West Africa meet him, and that he will show them the same sympathy his countrymen received from the Germans in South Africa’s hour of need.”—Australian Press Association.
