TOTALITARIANISM
WATCH IN SOUTH AFRICA. (Independent Cable Service.) CAPETOWN, Feb. 14. The Government is investigating reports of an attempt to form a secret Afrikander bloc based on totalitarian ideas and which regards Englishspeaking South Africans as foreigners. According to the Cape Times, the recently-established “Ossewa Brandwag,” an apparently harmless movement designed to supplement the defence forces of the Union, actually camouflages a secret military movement whose members have access to arms and ammunition issued to the regular defence units. The Government is also watching another extremist nationalist organisation, the Afrikanderbund, founded by the Premier’s son, Dr. Albert Herizog.
