SOUTH-WEST AFRICA
NO RELINQUISHMENT SPEECH BY GENERAL SMUTS. CAPETOWN, Oct. 12. ‘The mandate is necessary for the future safety and security of our boundaries, which we are going to hold on to,” declared General Smuts, South African Minister of Justice, in a speech at Colesberg in reference to the suggested return to Germany of South-West Africa. He added that under an assurance in an earlier proclamation by the Prime Minister, thousands of South Africans, mostly speaking Afrikaans, had gone to dive in the mandated territory. A great majority of the whites in the territory were not Germans but Afrikanders.
