In an interview, Mr. Pirow said he would discuss with the Portuguese Government the question of the former German colonies.

Afterwards he was going to London to inform the British Government on the result of the conversations.—Reuter.

Pretoria, Oct. 26.

Proposals to enable the authorities to deal more effectively with Nazi propaganda are believed to have been discussed yesterday during a long interview between General TBM.

Hertzog, Minister of Justice of the Union of South Africa, and Mr. Conradie, the Administrator of South-West Africa.

After leaving General Hertzog, Mr. Conradie stated that the Union section in South West Africa was seriously perturbed by the consistent tone of the new German population in South West Africa. This, he said, had become increasingly loud since the Munich Agreement.

/The Union sectión, however, he declared, were still "uncompromisingly hostile" to the idea of returning to Germany.

It is believed that General Hertzog assured the Administrator that the Union Government had no intention of relinquishing its mandate. The question of South Africa's defences was also discussed.—Reuter.
