GERMANY AND AFRICA.
SPEECII IX CAPE ASSEMBLY. By Cable—Prera Association—Copyright. Received 13, 11.15 p.m. Capetown, February 13.
Sir Percy Fitzpatrick, in the Assembly, referring to the Franco-German treaty, said there was only the British fleet between South Africa and a great virile people like the Germans. It was hopeless to hold South Africa if the British were withdrawn. Nevertheless the Government had not encouraged immigration.
General Louis Botha denied he had diseouraged immigration. The Government would assist the poor white South Afri: cans first, and afterwards see about in»migration. It would first settle the Crown lands and appropriate other lands later, if necessary.
