POLITICS IN SOUTH AFRICA.
PREMIER SUGGESTS A NEW PARTY. Br Telegraph.—Press Assn— copjrrljnr. Received Oct. 1, 5.5 p.m. Capetown, Sept. 30 General Smuts (Premier of South Africa), in a manifesto urging the formation of a new party, says re-union with the Nationalists is impossible, because they insisted on active secession. Propaganda must form part of any political programme to which they could subscribe, and the South African Party regards such a policy as wrong, and a dangerous violation of the constitution, and a breach of good faith in the understanding with the European race. Moderate elements have, he' says, no other alternative than to draw closer together in order to fight that policy. New aoepals should be made to form a new party to safeguard the interests of the Union against the disruptive and destructive policy of the Nationalists, to consolidate the status and position of the Union, strengthen internal development, and check public lawlessness and indiscipline. These objects can be best served by a party declaring against revolution or the violation of the constitution, and lawlessness in any shape or form.—Au».-NZ Cable Atufe
