IN THE EVENT OF WAR.
A PROPOSAL RIDICULED.
(Received July 15, 12.35 a.m.) CAPETOWN, July 14.
The Volkstem, the official organ of General Botha's party, suggested that it would ibe advantageous to Britain and South Africa if the latter remained neutral in the event of war between Britain and Germany.
The Cape Times, the Natal Mercury, and the Durban Advertiser ridicule Sfche Volkstem's suggestion and emphasise the fact that South Africa, is .bound to Britain, and that the two countries will stand or fall together.

LONDON, July 15
The Times, commenting on the suggestion of the ''Volkstem," states that to ask whether the Dominions' neutrality would be useful to England is really to ask whether it is an advantage to either for the Dominions to ibe part of the JMmpire at any time. Nor would one suppose that the neutrality of a Dominion would be respected d£ a power alt war with England desired to assail it.
