IN SOUTH AFRICA.
ENEMY AGENTS AT WORK. (By Cabta.—Pre«s Association.—Copyright.) (Australian' and N.Z. Cable Association.) (Received July 4th, 4 p.m.) PRETORIA, July 2. General • Botha has issued a statement calling the attention of the people to the prevailing state of tension following the activities of various political organisations and other agencies' which, h© says, hUve been working for some time ■ past with the object of bringing about trouble. In view of the disturbed political and industrial situation, the Government had good reason for suspecting that enemy agencies were intriguing to stir up strife, not only among Europeans, but among tho natives.
The events of the past few days necessitated prompt, effective measures, which, unless takon, would have resulted in grave disturbances, and probably serious loss of lifje.
The Government had information pointing to the existence 6{ a movement for the subversion of the Constitution by methods of violence.
General Botha warns all peace-lovers not to countenance the mischievous elements.
