Dr. Halfeld, in an article in the “Hamburgher Fremenblatt,” alleges that General Smuts sent police to South-West Africa because he expected war to break out on April 16 over the Polish-German question.
He declares there is reason to be* lieve that London advised South Africa that war could be exiaected in order to gauge South Africa’s reactions to an emergency.
