INDIANS IN THE TRANSVAAL.
REGISTRATION LAWS TO BE CARRIED OUT. NO MERCY TO AGITATORS. Received January 6, 9.36 p.m. PRETORIA, January 6. Mr Smuts, speaking at Pretoria, declared that the Government did not expect the Registration Act to cause so much trouble. There were thousands of false permits in existence. One good effdet of the new Act had been to frighten out of the Transvaal 5,000 Indians who had no right there. Of the 9,1500 who remained 5,000 were licensed to trade. Thousands were willing to register if not intimidated. They might be allowed another chance of registering, but no mercy would be shown to the leaders of the agitation. The law would be carried out.
