kssS NO less VITAL al ISSUE tn0n l0e
secession of an important state of the
British empire by ballot arises in the
election Tuesday of a new legislative
assembly in the union of South
Africa.
Broadly, the question is whether
South Africa, comprising the pro-
vinces of the Cape of Good Hope,
Natal, Transvaal and Orange Free
State, shall continue allegiance to the
king of England as one of the self
governing dominions of the empire, or
whether the South African union shall
set up as an independent republic.
Ballot Means Praised.
English sympathies naturally are
with the loyalists. Both sections are,
however, admired for their decision
to settle differences by the ballot
rather than by more drastic means.
At the head Of the loyalist section is
General J. c. SHUTS former Boer gen
eral now prime minister of the union.
He is better known as one of the
tions. Opposed to him is General
Hertzog also a former Boer military
leader.
III lUE kcHc1dA elcCLlOuS VI 1AhIGus
1920, the Hertzog party obtained
a seats in the legislative assem-
bly,, thus becoming numerically the
largest party.
It was supported in its opposition
to the SHUTS government by a labor
party of twenty-seven.
Labor Has Balance of Power.
The result Tuesday is said to hinge
on the success of the third or balance
Of power party. that of labor. English
political observers expect small but
working majority for General SHUTS.
Confusion of issues has arisen as q
result of the nationalists inability to
agree upon the time of the establish
nent of republic. Radicals insist
lpon immediate cutting away from the
British empire, while others make the
ime indeterminate.
General Hertzog's opinion was ex-
pressed in a speech when he declared
or South Africa's right to secede
rom the British empire. In spite of
he act of union, he is quoted, South
africans have the right to alter their
constitution to gain independence. If
he king should refuse to alter the
he would be approached

ing would be convinced that it was |
etter to have an independent friend |
