SOUTH AFRICA.
ITS FUTURE ADMINISTRATION. By Telegraph.—Presa Aisn,r-C6pjtlß>t. Capetown, Oct. 2, ' Lord Buxton, Governor-General of South Africa, visited Windhoek, the capital of the new South-West Africa Pxoitectorate. In a speech he declared that the. country would be an intregal part of the Union for ever. Its future administration would be very similar to that ,of the past three or four years under martial law. There would be even-handed justice for Europeans and Natives; the flogging of Natives must cease. If the administration was accepted in a friendly spirit the protectorate would form a prosperous portion of a great self-governing Dominion.
Lord Buxton laid down three main promises: Firstly, in no circumstances would the country be handed back to Germany; secondly, the territory .would in..future form an integral portion of the Union; thirdly, whatever might be the final constitution of the League of Nations, whether Germany was represented or not neither 6f the above two promises would be open to reconsideration.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
