“POOR OLD GERMANY”
GENERAL HERTZOG DEFINES HIS POSITION SEES NO REASON TO SIDE WITH ENGLAND. WARM DEFENCE OF HITLER. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received This Day, 11.50 a.m.) BLOEMFONTEIN, November 2. General Hertzog, in a speech, said the fact that South Africa sold produce to England was no reason that she should enter the war on England’s side. “Poor old Germany took £7,000,000 worth of the Union’s goods " last year,” he added. “Why should we not be like the Swiss, maintain neutrality in war beyond our boundaries and sell our products to whomsoever takes them?”
The Free State Congress appointed General Hertzog its nominal leader. The constitution proclaims that the aims of the party are the attainment of a republic by constitutional means, and a ban on further Jewish immigration.
General Hertzog told the congress that the allegation that Hitler was out for world domination was the most infamous and lying propaganda.
