VIGOROUS ACCUSATION
TROUBLE-MAKERS IN SOUTH AFRICA GENERAL SMUTS OUTSPOKEN Received July 31, 9 p.m. CAPETOWN, July 31. The Prime Minister, General Smuts, vigorously accused Dr. Malan and his colleagues of stirring up strife, when Dr. Malan protested on behalf of a number of Afrikaans students who had been badly manhandled for deliberately breaking the daily two-minutes’ silence. General Smuts said: “The disorderliness, sabotage and public violence at present being perpetrated is most likely the outcome of the vehement peace propaganda you and your party are conducting. You have slighted Parliament’s decision, opposed the country’s policy and cultivated a spirit of resistance against lawful authority.”
