SOUTH AFRICAN FLAG
ROYAL STANDARD CANNOT BE USED. (Rec. 125 am.) Capetown, January 19. When General Hertzog proposed to incorporate the Royal Standard in the South African national flag doubts were expressed as to the possibility of so doing, the Standard being the personal flag of the King. It is now stated that the matter was referred to the Premier, who replied further that information had convinced him that the Royal Standard could not be incorporated in the National flag. General Hertzog’s proposal, which was first announced at the labour Congress, no doubt influenced the Congress’s decision to support the Government’s flag pobcy. —A. and N.Z.
