(Received 7, 11.15 a.m.) CAPETOWN, April 6. Defending the anti-Nazi proclamation in the Assembly, General Hertzog said that since 1932 conditions in South-west Africa had been so bad that for a time the Government of the country could not be carried on. "I am unable to say which party is blameworthy," he said, ''but the Germans edlled the attention of the German Government to the condition of things with a view to persuading it to take over the administration. ' ' A bluntly-worded leading artiele in the Cape Tunes on the anti-Nazi decision states: "The proclamation ca^ only become a combativ© measure against the Germans in South-west Africa when the Germans of South-west Africa resort to those subversive activities which unfortunately in the past few years, under instructionis from Nazi headquarters, and with the connivanco of local German representatives, they have not scTupled to undertake. "The German- protest is frankly not worth the paper on which it is written. It defies all the ascertained facts, and Suggeste that Berlin is very badly informed regarding the true position in South-west Africa."
