IMPERIAL POLICY OPPOSED.
"LEADING TO BANKRUPTCY." MR. HERTZOG'S PROGRAMME. By a Telegraph.—Press Alsii.—Copyright. Received Nov. 6, 5.5 p.m. Capetown, Nov. 6. Mr. Hertzog has issued his election manifesto, in which he accuses the Government of being inspired by a purely Imperialistic policy, which le'd to South Africa being dragged into the war and making great sacrifices to benefit the Empire. If the policy is continued, he says, it must lead to bankruptcy, if not revolution. He characterises the Ministers as merely British agents, and denounces General Smuts' policy of closer union with the Empire as meaning political and economic subjection or revolution.
% Mr. Hertzog calls on the Afrikander people to co-operate in the defence of the Fatherland's liberty and to frustrate an Imperial policy. Their motto must be: "South Africa first, South Africa always."—Aus.-N-Z. Cable Assn.
