AFRICA AND THE EMPIRE.
BOTHA REBUKES HERZOG. FOR HIS ANTI-IMPERIAL-ISM. By Telegraph..—Press Association. —Copyright Capetown, February 6. The political crisis is reaching its height. General Herzog, Minister for Justice and Native Affairs in the Botha Cabinet, is demanding the resignation of General Botha from the Premiership, and seeks a new Ministry, whereof neither General Botha nor himself are members. Reuter states that General Botha has found this demand acceptable. In an interview to-day, General Botha said that General Herzog's speeches and conduct were sometimes inexplicable. Instead of supporting a policy of conciliation, he treated it with contempt and ridicule. It was General Herzog's duty not to give the impression that his policy was directed against the Empire, and was merely in the interests of South Africans. It behoved General Herzog, too, to be particularly careful what utterances he made in public. It would be impossible for General Herzog to serve any longer with his Ministerial colleagues, of whom he had spoken bitterly and offensively.
