Capetown, Dec. 4.
"England must bear in mind that, if South West Africa and Tanganyika are'returned to Germany, not only will South Africa be affected, but Nyasaland and Southern Rhodesia as well, and it may mean the beginning of the breaking up of the British Empire" declared Sir Abe Bailey, prominent South African, in an interview with Reuter today.
"South Africa", he continued, "is the only country which can afford to defend these territories. The time has arrived when the Union Jack must say:—'We won't. England is vulnerable, She was unprepared a few Weeks ago, but that is no reason why we should be downhearted. "We must have faith in ourselves, and the Men Commonwealth, which is united today as it never was before."—Reuter.
