SOUTH AFRICA.
A SPEECH MISUNDERSTOOD.
United Press Association —Copyright CAPETOWN, Feb. 11.
Mr Smuts, speaking at Middleburg, •said he believed that Mr Merriman’s Worcester speech had been greatly misunderstood. Mr Merriman was an outspoken old warrior, who fired the shot which disconcerted the whole of South Africa, but- the situation he created would pass over. South Africans must get rid of provincial feeling and seek the welfare of the whole. He added: “I advocate a non-Itadical policy for organisation, defence, and filling the empty spaces with whites.”
DR. JAMESON ON MR. MERRI-
MAN’S SPEECH
(Received February 13, 5 p.m.)
CAPETOWN, Feb. 12
Dr. Jameson denounced Mr. Merriman’s resuscitation of racialism, and declared: “We want a best-man Government, independent of party or race.. Pending the repudiation of Mr. Merriman by General Botha or other responsible leaders, the Progressives must buckle on their armour.” Dr. Jameson is unable to believe that General Botha would head a Government planned bv Mr. Merriman.
