GOVERNMENT'S RESIGNATION DEMANDED.
(Received Feb. 6, 9.30 p.m.)
CAPETOWN, Feb. 6. Reufcer telegraphs an, interview, with Mr Botha, in which the latter stated that Mf■ Hertzog's speeches and cpnduetowere sometimes inexplicable. Instead of supporting the policy of conciliation he treated it with contempt and ridicule. Especially was, it Mr Hertzog's duty to avoid giving the^ impression that the interests of South Africans were in conflict with those of the Empire, or that a policy directed against the Empire might, in Mr Hertzog's vieWj be desirable in certain circumstances. Some suspicion attached to Sir Hertzog on the subject of conciliation, and it was particularly necessary for Mm to be careful of his public utterances. It was impossible for Mr Hertzog to serve with his colleagues, of whom he had spoken so bitterly and offensively. Mr Hertzog demanded Mr Botha's resignation, a-nd a new ,• Government, of which neither Mr Botha nor Mr Hertzog would be members, to be formed, but Mr Botha found the demand unacceptable.
