$ SUGGESTION THAT HERTZOG SHOULD LEAD GOVERNMENT THE INDEPENDENCE CRY (By Telegraph-Press Association-Copyright Cape Town, March 10. Much significance is attached to an article in tho "Onsland," a Government organ, which states that tho only logical consequence of the decision of the electors is that General Smuts (the Premier) should give General Hertzog an opportunity of faking tho responsibility of Government of the Union on his own shoulders, seeing that he has more followers than the leader of any other single party.. Then at least the political atmosphere would lie cleared, with or without political thunderstorms. Mr. Roos, Chairman of the Transvaal Nationalist Party, in a manifesto, says that independence is no temporary matter or election cry, to l>e thiown aside, but something holy and precious. Only traitors could renounce ■ it.—Aus.-N.Z, Cable Assn. •
