General Hertzog, South African Nationalist leader, in the course of

his election campaign addressed a gathering of coloured voters at Stellenbosch, near Cape Town, the other day. He certainly believes in calling a spade a spade, for he informed his coloured hearers that the coloured men and natives of South Africa must not aim at social equality with the Europeans, but that they should realize their place as a component part of the South African people and be happy within the confines of that position. What his coloured audience thought of his remarks is not recorded.
