MINISTER TO RE DROPPED
SOUTH AFRICAN CABINET HERTZOG’S RECONSTRUCTION (United P.A. —By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 11.5 a.m. CAPETOWN, Mon. The Cabinet sat all day to-day. Its resignation is probable tomorrow, following upon which the Prime Minister, General Hertzog, will immediately reconstruct the Ministry, shelving the Minister of Posts, Mr. W. B. Madeley. Mr. Madeley lias published his reply to General Hortzog, who requested him to resign his portfolio. In a strongly worded letter Mr. Madeley complains of the cavalier treatment accorded to him. He alleges that he has been subjected to humiliating conditions which have been growing more marked and aggressive in recent months and forcing upon him the conviction that sucli an attitude could only be intended to make his continuance as a member of the Cabinet impossible. It is highly probable that the Minister of Labour, Colonel F. H. P. Cresweil, will be shortly offered the High Commissionership in London. Mr. J. S. Smit, the present holder of that office, is said to have agreed to return to South Africa to assume the post of Administrator of the Transvaal Province. That office has been rendered vacant by the expiry of Mr. J. Hofmeyr’s term.
