SOUTH AFRICA AND BRITAIN
AX EXTRAORDINARY SUGGESTION. By Oable—Press Association—Copyright. Capetown, July 14. The Volkstem, the official organ of General Botha's party, suggested that it would be advantageous to Great Britain and South Africa if the latter were neutral in the event of war between Great Britain and Germany.
The Cape Times, the Natal Mercury and the Natal Advertiser ridicule the Volkstem's suggestion, and emphasise that South Africa is bound with Great Britain to stand or fall together. A PERTINENT POINT. ONE THING OR THE OTHER. Received 10, 5.5 p.m. London, July 15. The Times, commenting on the Volkstem states that to ask whether the dominions' neutrality is useful to England is really asking whether it is an advantage to cither the dominions or the Motherland for the dominions to be parts of the Empire at any time. No one could suppose the neutrality of the dominions would he respected if a Power were warring with England and desired to assail them.
