If Greece is neutral, it seems clear that the Allied troeps which have been landed in Salonika should be interned. If the qualifying of the neu- trality by the insertion of the word “benevolent” means that the Allied troops now in Greece are to be allowed to proceed to the defence of Serbia, the Kai- ser will be apt to regard a “benevolent neutrality” toward the entente powers as an act of war against Germany and Austria.

General Hertzog as- serts that it is clearly the in- tention immediately after the war to form a federal govern- ment for the Empire, with its seat in London. He intends to fight Federal Imperialism to the utmost, and as a first step proposes to unhorse General Botha, who is premier for a renewal of his lease of power. is of an ex- ceptionally bitter nature. Be- hind Hertzog stand all the ele- ments which gave either open or secret support to the rebel- lion of Maritz, a rebellion that had for its avowed object the setting up of an independent nation in South Africa in which the Dutch would be dominant.

He had no hesitation, he declared, in espousing their cause, rebels or no rebels. From these state- ments it is quite manifest that if Hertzog wins and the Na- tionalists eome to power the government of the South Af- rican Union will take no inter- est in the great struggle now going on in Europe, and will do nothing toward equipping or despatching the South African contingent for which recruiting is now in progress. General Botha’s position is equally clear. He stands for a self-governing South Africa within the Empire, for a union in which Briton and Boer shall have equal rights, and in which parties shall not be formed on racial lines. He asserts that the rebellion was engineered by the governor of German South- Africa for the benefit of with the knowledge and consent of the Kaiser.
