“STAND OR FALL TOGETHER.”
IF BRITAIN WARS WITH GERMANY SHOULD SOUTH AFRICA BE NEUTRAL. [UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT.] CAPETOWN, July 14. The Volkstem., the official organ of General Botha’s party, suggested that it would be advantageous to Britain and South Africa if the latter were, neutral in the event of war between Britain and Germany. The Cape Times, Natal Mercury, and Natal Advertiser ridicules the Volkstem’s suggestion, and emphasised that South Africa is bound with Britain to stand or fall together. THE SUGGESTION CRITICISED. COMMENT BY THE “TIMES.” (Received Julv 17, 1.12 a.m.l LONDON, June IG. The “Times,” commenting on the “Volkstem’s” suggestion, states that to ask whether the Dominions’ neutrality would be useful to. England, is really asking whether it is an advantage to either, for the Dominion to be part of the Empire at any time. No one could suppose that the neutrality of a Dominion* would be respected if. a Power warring with England, defiled to, assail it.'
