“PUBLIC IMMORALITY”
SMUTS ACCUSES HERTZOG NO-CONFIDENCE MOTION (Australian and N.Z. Press AssociationJ CAPETOWN, Tuesday. The House of Assembly was crowded when the Leader of the Opposition, General Smuts, moved his motion of no-confidence. He characterised the Government’s arrangements with the divided Labour Party as being a most outstanding case of public immorality in order to retain power. If the Prime Minister, General Hertzog. persisted in dealing with intricate native problems on the eve of the General Election lie foresaw evil days for South Africa. The introduction of the spoils system had led to the public service becoming a political machine. Thousands of men were walking the streets because of the Wage Board’s determinations, and the replacements of natives by white men. The Union Jack was not seen in the South-W r est Protectorate, which the King held under a mandate only. This result was making the country ridiculous. General Hertzog. in replying, accused General Smuts of viewing everything from the ballot-box, and of being actuated by jealousy. The debate was adjourned.
