CONTROL OVER PRESS AND PLATFORM.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright CAPETOWN. February 7.
It is announced that the Prime Minister, General Hertzog. is introducing three drastic Bills for “the maintenance of order and the safety of the State.” The first seeks to prohibit the publication or utterances of insulting or slanderous attacks on the heads of States, also the utterance of untruths at public meetings. The second deals with the improper participation of teachers in party politics. The third provides for registration of all societies except charitable and aesthetic societies. This is aimed chiefly at the subversive activities of secret organisations. EMPHATIC DENIAL UNION NOT TO BE NEUTRAL. IN EVENT OF EUROPEAN WAR. (Received This Day, 10.15 a.m.) CAPE TOWN, February 7. General Hertzog, in the Assembly, emphatically denied that he had informed the British Government that the Union would remain neutral in the event of a European war.
