SOUTH AFRICA.
CANDID CRITICISM. SOUTH AFRICA BEFORE THE EMPfRE. By Cable -Press Association—Copyright. Received January G, 10.15 p.m. Capetown, January 6. Mr. Thomas Watt, speaking at Durban, said that if the necessity arose for taking sides the English and the Dutch alike would say that South Africa must come first and the Empire second. The Government had disagreed with Mr. Ilertzog because he gratuitously said that if the Imperial Government assaulted their freedom and liberty they would cut the painter, and as soon as the last ounce of benefit was squeezed the Motherland would proclaim independence. Mr. Watt warned De Wet that his policy would lead the country to ruin.
