SOUTH AFRICAN AFFAIRS.
NATIONAL CONGRESS. HERTZOG TALKS. / Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. Received October 4, 12.5 p.m. CAPETOWN, October 3. At the Nationalist Congress at Bloemfontein General Hertzog, leader of the party, said that German and English Imperialists were equally intolerant. There was no necessity for South Africa to participate in the war. Did it pay Africa to belong to the Empire? He held that it did not. The Government policy had caused a revolutionary spirit, but he did not believe the people were so stupid as to entertain revolutionary schemes. They had a free constitution, but not free '•Ministers, who were only the agents of the British Government.
