THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
SOUTH AFRICAN FEELING. “The result of the South African election,” said ltevd. Marsh,” a visitor to New Zealand, confirms the impression that South Africa is becoming year by year a Dutch preserve. The British population is actually decreasing, and that is mainly due to the competition of Dutch labour in the mines where there are to-day practically no British miners, and to the deliberate policy of the Nationalist Government of squeezing out the British from the public services. Three years ago the police force, once predominantly British, was 80 per cent. Dutch, and recent events suggest that the process is continuing. For good or for ill, we have to face the prospect of a South Africa predominantly Dutch rather than British in ideals and government.”
