THE RAND TROUBLE.
SPEECH BY GENERAL BOTHA. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] I United Press Association.] Johannesburg, August 11. Hundreds of men and their families are leaving for Australia and Canada and Great Britain, fearing that bad times are coming. General Botha had a great reception from his party at a banquet at Johannesburg. He declared that South Africa was a young nation, and its people must not walk about as revellers. Mob law could not be allowed. If capital was frightened it would go badly with laborers and the general community alike. Unless bettor relations were established between the employer and the employed there was no chance of avoiding a recurrence of the recent trouble. He indicated that if the membership of the Cabinet was increased it would enable the people to keep in closer touch with Ministers.
A REDUCED OUTPUT. London, August 11. Owing to the strike the Rand output for July has largely decreased.
